I Would Buy The OE mercedes xeons..The Aftermarkit lights dont work with the OE housings...Wrong reflector wrong lens..
All You get is the (COOL) look..With the OE lights the Light pattern is correct..AND when the Units fail You WILL be able to repair them...with OE mercedes parts
Contact Steve @www.mbenz.nl he has them at great prices!

They work fine. I have a set of the plug and play ones and the lighting is 300% better than the crappy halogen. No blinded oncoming drivers - just good light. I have thought of getting rid of the stock Xenon's on my E55 and going aftermarket. The stock Xenon's system is not worth a damn. I had to order a new ignightor today for my E55 and it cost just about as much as the entire plug and play kit on my E430. The Xenon kit on my E430 gives much better light than my stock Xenons on my E55.
