New style headlights for W210, 96-99, is finally out. Any one have it installed yet ? Wonder how the quality of the light is.

I've seen some people bought the set for 2000 - later, and modified & installed it on pre-99 car, the result was okey, not perfect fit thought.

With the headlight now designed specifically for pre-99 model, I think fitment should be as perfect as OEM. I just wonder if the light would be as bright as OEM, and quality of material.

Richard has them on his E. Ask him about them, they look great, so does Alex, he has them too.

Alexbenz

yup, i have them. i like it a lot and get a lot of comments about them(good ones), beam pattern is good to me, but others might say otherwise, xenons havn't came out yet but soon....

Hey Alex,

thanks

alexbenz,

Looks like you have HID's in yours. How do they work with aftermarket HID's to fit the H7 housing? Is the light pattern good? Where can the 211 style headlights for the 98-99 210 E be purchased?

Richard Galing

Contact Roger or Jack @ Auto Dynamic 626.618.2026, just received a call from them a few days ago regarding in stock and selling at $399.00.

Good Luck
Richard

Prototype version I've seen did not meet the tough standards of DOT.

Alexbenz

persianb28 it was a little harder for me because i had to mod the lights because they weren't for 96-99 w210 but other then that they are plug in and play

Allright! richard you just saved me $150.00 cancelled my order at rpi equipped and sent off for a set of these which are in stock! paid rpi $550.00 2 1/2-3 months ago and lights still not available. auto dynamic in stock and ready to ship i will now be putting that $150.00 towards xenon upgrade kit!

thanks again richard!!!!

I just called them and they said they have plenty in stock.
Gonna stop by tomorrow and pick up a set.

zam2000

Same here. Those guys are pretty cool, they suggest that I stop by and check out quality of the lights first, before commit to buying them.
I'll be back in town on Thu, and will get a set from them too.

Price seem to be better than ones on eBay ($420 - 550), save on $50 shipping too !!

I have them on my E "00" look very sharp. I have post pic. on this site under euro headlights. If your intrested.

Richard Galing

No worries...U owe me a BEER tho!!! J/K

Just make sure to post some pics when U get those babies installed...this applies to MBWorld & zam2000 too!

Caution on the aftermarket HID kits, not all are compatible with the projectors & will display the Lamp Defective warning light...so annoying! I know of a local vendor who sells HID kits for MB & BMW applications...PM me if U need the contact info.

thuged_out

can the ballast and the bulb from OEM xenons be installed on these?? and anyone knows if they're available for W208's? Thanx

Alexbenz

nothing for w208 as of yet, i've seen some try to custom make it from other parts of a cl but lighting pattern would be a issue

Shane C

Will definitly post pics once installed! as far as xenon kits is it the ballasts that are not compatible?. Kits i am interested in use hella ballast which is what benz and bimmers use anyway right? or is it wiring? bulb connectors? so many kits avail on ebay some claim to be plug and play, H7, etc. really want to avoid lamp defective message what a pain in the a$$ had this on for 2 days drove me

persianb28

Shane C let me know how the install goes and how they look. I can't wait to get a pair of these lights, I just got to wait till the funds come in!

Shane C

will do! Install looks straight forward. I bought w210 information cd from nguyensteve and there is a section that shows the removal of headlight in less than five minutes! of course this is for 96-99 models 00-02 require removal of front bumper

persianb28

Yup I bought that exact same CD for my car. The installation seems pretty easy after seeing that guy remove the headlights in a couple of mins. lol. I hope putting the new headlights back in is just as easy!

persian or shane, can u post how to remove headlights...

Shane C

[QUOTE=007]persian or shane, can u post how to remove headlights...[/QUOTE

007 here is my adlib version of the media player tutorial on the w210 information cd

please first note that these instructions are for 96-99 w210 only

First you must remove the lower trim plate located just underneth the head lamp assbly. to do this you will need to remove 2 bolts . 1 bolt is located on the grille/radiator side of the trim piece just behind rubber seal. the second is located between the large and small lamp lenses.

Second you must remove 3 bolts that secure the headlamp assbly to you car. 1 bolt lower right of small lamp lense, 1 bolt bottom center of large lense 1 bolt located top center of large lamp lense aprox 2-3 inches back

finally remove the bulb connectors and pull out the lamp assembly

Hope this helps on scale of one to five this has got to be a 1 or 1 1/2 tops

007 are you going to put a set of projectors on your ride?

persianb28

Has anyone put these lights on their car yet? If so, could you post a pic?
Thanks

Alexbenz
