From reflector to prokector headlight conversion!

Hello all MBWORLD.ORG
My W210 headlights are all crappy and fogged up and i was searching on ebay and there are only the projectors, reflectors are used and crappy as mine so found one new factory style one, is possible to install projectors without cuttin' n' modifyin' wiring? think that is possible cuz i found a aftermarket that said only compatible with halogen ones and has same connectors as the factory projector one
SOMEONE HAS DONE THIS MOD? comment your experiences

also, try HERE and navigate down to LIGHTS, HEADLIGHT....

I did it years ago and it was a no-brainer. Direct plug-in conversion. And the headlights made the car look much better and much newer. Different manufacturers may have different products, in the worst case someone with basic understanding of electricity and a volt meter can splice a few wires and make it working in case the plugs/sockets are not compatible. Good luck!
