Awesome LED Head Lamps
They are Awesome, more than I'd Hoped for.
they are Bright, and you see more of the Road due to the way the light is dispersed. I used to use my Driving Lamps quite often, but these cast light down and around the front of the truck.. it's a " You have to see it / use them to believe it scenario." in short they are a Great Buy, you cant buy true HID Lamps, ballasts, and mounting for this kind of money. and HID's burn out, Ballast's take a dump regularly.. LED's last 10,000 hrs at minimum... Truly, the Last Head Lamps you will ever buy..

That is a strong endorsement and thanks for the review. I am looking at getting into a G in about a year or so and am doing a fair amount of forum research. If/when I get one this conversion will now be one of the first mods.

They cost me 630.00 for the Pair... Bought them locally at an Industrial Lighting Outlet.. they are on Ebay for varying prices.. I found some here... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRUCK...Q5fAccessories

BTW the headlamp buckets ( 477 941 050A) is that the same one for Porsche? Google search of that part # brings it up and half the cost of the MB one.

Seems like the headlamp bucket (477 941 050A) is an actual Porsche item. I ordered 1 from Ebay for $50 and it fits perfectly with the lights. Still waiting on the 2nd bucket from a Porsche reseller then installation will be on it's way.
