converting from Halogen to OEM HID headlights?
Has anyone did this?
I have the Carlabs kit but it's getting pretty annoying, either the bulb or the cap have to be replaced every 9 or 10 months. I'm thinking about just buying OEM HID headlights and swapping it all out.
Has anyone did this? Was it difficult?

OEM Xenons are the correct way to go..Correct reflector/and light pattern
Euro Xenos have a better cut off pattern
Active Euro Xenons are the BEST
level and turn....

I don't believe you can have active headlights w/o jumping through hoops and drain the bank account if you don't have it already?

The (ACTIVE) Xenons Were added AFTER I bought the W211..YES it can be done..
Its NOT Cheap..But like Any Other OE Mod it can be done
