My ML...many thanks to forum members
Well, I finally got around to taking pics of my ML today. As indicated in my title, I have to thank the forum members (sincity and tifosiv122) who gave me great deals on their "hand-me-downs." Because of them, I was able to add some serious upgrades to the vehicle at a fraction of the cost. Thank god I didn't have to deal with the horror stories about forum sellers that I've read recently. Here are some shots of the exterior and interior:

Thanks for the kind words. The Milles are 19's. sincity gave me a great deal on them. Put it this way...normally, two new retail Pirelli Scorpions alone cost more than the price he gave me including shipping. As for the DVD/Nav combo, I got a steal on those, as well.
As for future mods, I am not sure. In reality, how much more do I want to put into my vehicle? How much more before it starts looking tacky? Also, I am about a week away from buying my first house, so first things first, right? Plus, I also have a weakness for expensive guitars. Too many vices, but healthier than those of others, right?

Physically both of those 2 types look the same. So, if the cost is the concern, go for the halogen type. Look on e-bay; you will find the halogen type 2002+ ML headlights for $340 or so with shipping. I did the upgrade; my truck looks really good.

You would need the pig tail adapters for both types (halogen and xenon).
I didn't buy the pig tail adapters (I think $30 for a pair). I just rewired the wires at the connector. Just removing 2 wires and reinserting in a different location on the same connector. Search on "pig tail adapter". You will learn all about upgrading your headlights.
