Need help to install headlights...

on my dad's Mercedes Benz E320. I just won these HID headlights from eBay and I need someone to direct me in the right location of where I can get them installed.





It's a direct replacement from swapping out the old lights and putting in these lights.

Diy

You can do it yourself.

Go here and watch

You might just have to change the connector ends to plug them in.

Thanks E-Klasse! Do you possibly have any more information about the connectors that I will need to get?

The best thing to do is get the VIN number from any E-Class that originally had HID lights and go to the parts dept. at the dealership. They can find the part numbers for the connectors and order them.

Those instructions are for a 96-99 W210. You need instructions for the 00-02 (at least those are the headlights you bought). You pretty much need to pull the whole front bumper cover off the car to replace the head lights (it's only about 6 bolts or so and not too hard to figure out. Remove both front wheels, the plastic covers in the wheel wells and then you'll have access to the bumper from the inside. Finding which bolts to remove isn't too hard from there.) Also, you don't need any wiring adapters as the Xenons will plug right in to your existing lights.

Well my car is a 2000 so I guess I will need to pull the bumper off then. The fact that I don't have to use any wiring adapters makes my life a lot easier!

Hey kamozee!

Let me know how this goes as I would LOVE to do this to my car when the warranty is up next June....(Wondering if I could do it myself or would need to bribe the husband??)

Sounds like a bit of a pain, but well worth it! Don't forget to take some before & after pics
... or even "during" if there is a tough spot maybe?

Good luck .. . it's going to be Beauuutifulllll
