Finally installed full HID package, DRL and AMG Rims

Took 6 hours.....using real Phillips 6000K HID kits for low and high beams as well as the fog lights. I also changed the little city light bulbs with Philips whites.

The DRLs were a pain in the you know what to install as I had to run a wire from the fuse box so it would turn on full strength with car turned on and 50% strength when lights turned on . I went and got a fairly high end momo DRL kit which has auto light sensors.

The wheels are 20 inch with 255 45 20 Pirelli tires.

The rims look good, but those DRLs and the AMG badge look ugly as hell in those places. Way too much going on in front along with your license plate.

I like the HID kit...LED city lights, and the new LED fogs. The stock fogs, you should turn them ON too...swap the halogen bulbs with LEDs.

The wheels are nice, but I think it would look better if the tires weren't so wide. My 20" AMG wheels came with 235/45/20 Pirellis.

Not feeling the AMG badge in the grill...overkill imo.

I took the time to remove the number and letter badges from my GLK so I certainly would not put another one on, but if it works for you... enjoy!
