Anyone installed a true LED headlight conversion kit?
My E550 didnt have the lighting package so i installed 55w HIDS. im happy with the look but alot of the newer cars from MB now have LED headlights from factory and they look so much crisper. I know there are now actual LED conversion kits available like these:
I would assume these wouldn't preform as you imagine. I own a custom lighting company the led products have made it a long way but don't seem to out preform the hid stuff as of yet. Not to mention I'm sure they would throw codes on the benz.
My e class also didn't have the p2 package I opened the lamps, installed a bixenon (high low) hid projector in place of the oem halogen, installed a dummy projector in high beam socket with high powered led behind mimicking the p2 lamp. I couldn't be happier
Its not necessarily a kit. the hardest part is opening the lamps the oem sealant really doesn't budge. I just quoted the exact setup was right around 2k with parts and labor. Included:
Removing the front lens
retrofitting a bixenon projector in the low beam socket
retrofitting a dummy projector in the high beam socket
high powered led behind dummy projector
50 watt morimoto hid kit
d2 bulbs
led load resistors sets to eliminate errors from high beam and park lights
gloss painted internals
color changing led demon eyes (accents behind the projectors which can change color)
Ive leased a w121 with P2 lighting and returned it for a purchase of this one with P1 lighting. the mods Ive done provide superior output compared to the P2.

Yeah, but is it legal to drive with those mods in the US? Do those "Demon Eyes", changing the reflector to a black color and all those other mods comply with the original DOT certification the car had to pass?

Sorry Im confused on why you would think black painted internals would not be DOT legal? Many cars come from the factory with black internals take the C class for example there is noting illegal about this mod. The xenon projectors used are oem projectors tuned for sharper cutoff lines, nothing illegal there, the led accent isn't blinking, flashing, etc so nothing illegal there.
The demon eyes on another hand would not be street legal, mostly used when the car is parked I control this though my cell phone so I don't turn them on with driving on public roadways.
hopefully someone on here has tried one of these kits. or i might be the guinea pig
Juice,
I bought an H7 Xenon HID conversion kit for both low beams and high beams. The bulb temp is 6000K- Diamond white, the slim ballast wattage is 55W and they both come with warning cancellers. They are plug and play and do not require splicing or cutting.
Lifetime warranty. They are being installed today.
