Thank you for letting me know your concern, i have checked on your VIN ############### that your have the 2005 Mercedes Benz E500 AMG Sport package, this is the top of the line model, and the headlights for this AMG package uses the factory HID type headlights not the halogen type headlights. Were you able to get the wiring connected? Please confirm. Thank you////////////////////////////so now since i got the wrong lights need to get another set trying to see if i can return will see what they going to say no big deal 200 out the pocket but can someone will tell me what to look for like part number so i dont do same mistake twice thanks ,Zack
There's no way to make the others work because you need the other connector to give juice to the hids, i'll be a mess just trying. Return them if you can and buy yhe right ones, the one I posted is 2 for one because you not only get the riight ones but you get the updated version ones.
its funny i was just on ebay looking at them that is only one that i think will work everything is the same from the back and yes i will take your advice there is no way around 1more time thanks for your advice i am little slow hahahahah
If you have the Control Module "B" - then the lights you've purchased should be able to accept all of your transferred HID components. However, if you have Control Module "C" - then you have AFS from stock, which you would need to purchase a pair of OEM control Module "B" and code out the AFS function from your vehicle.
May I kindly ask if you can help confirm with me once more? Thanks again for your support!
Warmest Regards,
Christian ///////////////////////// so i did have old module so i did buy corect module x 2 what he was saying i do have c module and i need to get b module for my lights to work ,now he saying that i have to code out the AFS function from my vehicle. ?????? someone please expl this to me what and how to code out thanks
Ok so from the description of the headlights that I told you, the $450 ones, there see the difference.
from my understanding the non-hid version, the one you bought first don't use ballast underneath, the hid version, the one that I send you uses 2 ballast, and the AFS version use a different B ballast.
check the pins on the ballast of the one you removed from your car and post the pic here.

He wants to know if your car have AFS, post pic of your control modules to make sure. I guess he wants to know before shipping the headlights.
i did send pic to him my module will not work but i got 2 from ebay that will this link will explain everything so i got right light and right controle module to work with this light/////////// http://www.speedstersource.com/FISH/...1_03_D2S_D.jpg if u go on this link you will see that my controle module is C and i switch them with B module that will operate my lights that i just order
this module will not work if u check the link here posted i need different one B one
So you need the headlight with AFS system, if you order this ones you need two B modules and turn off the AFS in the DAS I guess.
I was looking for AFS headlights and they are over $650 a piece and the old style, not with the 3 horizontal lines on top. So I guess as the description says if you buy two B modules the would work. It'll be interesting to see if the dash trows an error as the AFS will not be available, please post result when you get the modules and install.
lights coming in 5 days control module in 4 days so wish me luck i learn lot so far but this was only lights on ebay that will fit and work with my car i didnt c anything else
FWIW, I got LED taillights from fishcake on Ebay a year for so ago.
I kept my old taillights because I expected trouble.
They have been absolutely trouble free, far better than when I was trying to put LED bulbs.
W211 replacement?
mine is avantgarde which came with leds. I want to buy the 2007 led version but don't know if it'll work, in debating on wether buying one used oem side first or a non oem duo... concern is if it'll work.
