Hi,
is the set still working and how about the glass (or is it plastic) cover: got foggy?
Would you still recommend the set?
I know not directed to me but I bought a set of LED headlights for my 2011 G55 and will share my experience. I got the black housing version. I purchased from the link below and lights came in about 10 business days to Alabama
Set works really well. The cover is made of plastic so I am getting get mine covered with PPF when I have my 63 conversion done. There was one that during install noticed some condensation at the bottom and is seen in a pic below. It has not spread or come back sick install about 3 weeks ago.
The DRLs work as a plug and play on my car, others could vary. They turn on automatically with the car. I do wish they lit up when unlocking the car like the original 194 bulb. They are very bright and like the new model.
There is a yellow wire you can hook up to the turn signal. This will the allow the DRL to switch to amber and have a dynamic turn signal. I didn’t wire mine that way at first but since have. I will get a video soon and post it. I am thinking to undo as I feel it’s so busy with its dynamic movement and large size coupled with the fender and side mirror turn signals.
The actual LED headlight is very bright and cast a nice wide beam. I feel perhaps a little hot in the middle but still does well. It has a razor sharp cutoff. The high beams do well and are perhaps 50% better than stock. Sorry I didn’t take before and after pics like I typically do. I might do so when or if I undo the turn signals.
Adjusting the lights is a bit of a pain but not that bad. You have to unbolt them, adjust and place back on the car. Just slows you down some.

I do believe they all work fine for a year or maybe eben two.
But what about 2+ years?
Will the glass (or plastic) get foggy.
They do look great - I have a 2002 and would need to change the fender insert to mount the much bigger lights.
That's why I am asking, since its not a plug & play like on the 2008 and up models.
I am not able to do it myself and do not want to ruin the CAN or fuse box etc.

We can connect these lights without connecting the turn signal?
I want these lights but hate the dynamic turn signal..
are these alibaba lights LED headlights (including LEd bulbs and projectors), or just the assembly with Halo that you use with the pre-excisting HID projectors (which in my case won;t work since i have a halogen setup on my 2005 G55) ?
I'm looking to swap out my headlamps. I have a 2021 G63. Is the process similar?

Confused as these are to be an upgrade to be like the be G which you areas have. Are you just wanting a chrome inner housing instead of the tinted lenses you currently have?!!?
So, I just installed these on my 2011 G55. I had them ceramic clear coated prior so they don't turn yellow/fade
I too found out that I had nowhere to connect this connector and now have Left and Right Parking light warning on my dash.
Anyone know how to take care of that? I was thinking about getting set of resistors to plug in to deal with warning message. I did the same when I deleted fog lights with G63 Bumper upgrade
Yes, that will work but get power resistors that can dissipate the heat, and target the same power draw that the "drl" bulbs draw. You can get connector pigtails for the opposite side of that connector to make it all plug and play.
