06 E500 Wagon
DIM Factory HID lowbeams

Brand new to the forum

I've got an 06 w211 e500 wagon with the factory hid's and they are pretty dim. New to a Mercedes and this is my first car with hid's

I contacted TRS and they said either new bulbs or they have this kit: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/morimoto-retroquik-hella-bi-xenon.html?carDisplay=2006+Mercedes-Benz+E-Class+%28HID+Equipped%29&preselect=&preselect_rest rict=1

Does anybody have experience with the kit? Should I do it?

Headlight alignment is good, any suggestions?

If it's original bulbs, most likely end of life and time for new bulbs. Check for hazing on lens and projectors also which could restrict output.

We carry full line of Morimoto, Philips, and Osram replacement D2S bulbs for your application.
