I drive an '11 C300 and wife drives an '11 GLK350
Headlights are dim. Is there an upgrade?
My wife has a 2011 GLK 350 and the headlight covers are clear (checked at MB dealer) but the headlights aren't overly bright at night. Is there a way to upgrade the headlights or make them brighter? I actually think its pretty dangerous for night time driving.

Assuming you have oem halogens. You can upgrade to HIDs pretty easily. We carry top end Morimoto kits if interested. You’ll need H7 kit and canbus enabled to not trip error codes.

I got HID from Philipsxenon.com you should be able to get a kit and a pro instal for around 200$. They are very bright, about 2.5x brighter. I don’t think led are worth the risk since they all have cooling fans, LED are heat sensitive
