Hey guys,

Finally managed to upload a pic of my car with the newly installed Xenons.....Love em! real big difference now when I'm driving at night..

Judge from the color, you must be running at least 6000-7000K bulb (I think it cut brightness about 1000 Lumens compared to standard xenon bulb).

I run mine with 4300K D2R. Because I have projector, and I bent my shield a bit, mine look (somewhat very) purple from far away, or from an angle (much like an Audi A6), but straight on, they're white light.

well, i'm not too sure whether it cuts out the brightness by that much. On sat, I jockey parked the car at a hotel, and while i was waiting for my ride, there were bout 4-5 mercs (S, C, CLK, New E) with standard xenons driving through. i took the oppurtunity to check out the light patterns and distance, plus brightness that it shot out, and they were similiar and kinda slightly yellow with a purple ( looks like OEM Xenons to me). But when my ride came through, it was brighter, longer beams and pure white. I donb't think I'm being bias, but after seeing it myself, with a few samples before me, I think my lights are pretty bright..

But again, its just me, and other guys might have diff opinons. Anyways, it was too expensive to convert to the DSR bulbs (changing the whole light housing and all)..

But I'm a happy camper.. :p

hey hey, i always love to see the carlsson front bumper, it;'s going to make me cry when it'll be gone soon......nice lights man..........keep the mods coming......

carlsson9

Thanks for the comps Rich and alexbenz :p

Sad to hear that you'll be taking out your carlsson bumper soon alex. Funny thing, I saw another merc with the same kit as mine the other day..on stock 16 inches though..looked weird, but made me curious on where he got it from..

future mods will definitely be the exhaust, rework the gearbox, DVD player LCD screen, updated rear lamps and blinkers, painted grille, and hopefully bilstein shockers..this is going to take a while!
