NEED help on Headlight Lens replace

Hello,

I have a 2000 E430 Sport,

-It has the helagon headlight and lens
-I just got a set of Use Original OEM HID headlight , the lens and the reflector are relatively new, but the housing have broken braket, therefore I could not use the HID headlight housing.

My question is can I use my Helagon housing and take the the HID lens and reflect and electronic from the HID headlight and put them on my Helagon housing bracket.

Thanks in Advance

Mark,

did you took any pics of the process?
did you have to take the bumper off to take the Helagon headlight out?
did the original wire harness work for the HID light?

Thanks again,
Steve Nguyen

Sorry NO Pics..Its Very Easy...Just Transfer the Parts

Yes The front Bumper MUST be removed(2000 Model year on) to replace the Headlites

The Headlites will plug in No problem Plug and Play

Mark,

Is there any special way or hints on removing the headlight lens on the Helagon and HID, and the reflector also?

Thanks,
Steve
