The pic earlier in this thread is of my car that has had the stock non-HID lenses replaced with what is available from bekkers. These lenses are very similar to stock but do not have the DOT approval stamp. Both stock and replacement lenses are clear but turn signals appear yellow because of the bulb or possibly the reflector behind the lense. Hope that helps.

nguyensteve,

Those High Beam lenses look the same but the larger low beam lenses don't look like what I put on my car. Now keep in mind, I was told the replacement lenses I put on my car were euro spec because they were not DOT approved. Mine look very similar to stock lenses. I just wanted something that was not yellowed and cracking.

Not sure if that is Euro or not, but those are HID.

You should be able to get some replacement lenses (Euro HID or halogen) from Steve (MBenzNL). Mail him at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com.

Both myself and Mark Cummins have seen him replace lenses on W210 headlights. It is not a fast process, but it can be done with patience.

Has anyone considered Mister Jung's H.I.D. retrofit kit? After adjusting the beam pattern on my composite's I'm really happy with the beam distribution, just need Mister Jung's 5200K H7 kit.


www.misterjung.com


P.S. I've heard many on the Chevy Avalanche site have used it and are happy with the kit.

It is easy on the 1995-1999 W210s...but a pain in the ... on the 1999-2002 W210s!
