Anyone upgrade to HIDs w/ OEM Halogen housing?
Just wondering how those aftermarket kits look without upgrading the housing/lenses.
Is the light properly focused?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am planning on doing the same thing with my 97 E420 too. I think the benefit is not only cheaper but also you can upgrade to 8000K HID which I think looks better and should also be brighter than the stock HID. I believe stock hid is 4200K.
So for $800 less, ($400 vs $1200) I would go for the after market 8000K HID kit.
If anyone that have done this mod already please let us know the result.
Thanks
Ed

Which HID do you think looks better at night? Stock 4200K HID with clear lens or an aftermarket 8000K HID with OEM Halogen housing?

Anyone has 10000K HID on W210?
Can anyone post a pic of aftermarket HID with the oem headlamp housing? Anyone out there tried a 10000K HID?
I was going to get a 8000K HID and now I see there is 10000K HID available.
I would love to see pics before I buy them.
Thanks
