Very nice. Looks pretty close to bi-xenon. How is the illumination on the road compared to the OEM bi-xenons?

thx AsianML,
i haven't checked the illumination at night yet...

Looks very very nice!! Do you have any pictures of the installation? How long did it take you to fit it? I bought a kit myself for my w164 but was advised by a friend who happens to me a MB-mechanic, to return it because he said its not fit for a MB. Being desperate I later ended up buying some 100W xenon look alike halogens, which look okay but of course not as real xenon lights.
Im not very good with my hands so Im really interested in how "easy" the installation was, then perhaps I can install it myself. Any help would be great. Thanks

thx! no, i didn't take pics during install... it took about an hour to do install... i'm not good with DIY either and did not do installation... kit will fit W164 w/o any problems... just take it to a local shop who have done aftermarket HID kit installs...

Have you compared these with the OEM bi-xenons? And do they glare as a lot of the kits do?


Sorry for the questions!! I'm just so curious, they don't look like those fake HID knock off kits that you normally see.

Pioneer AVIC-D1 Installed

Got Pioneer AVIC-D1 DVD navi, XM/NavTraffic module, iPod integration kit and rearview camera installed last weekend. Also installed Interfire 500W 2ch amp and 500W 12" Memphis subwoofer. Not a great name brand but fits my budget and does the job that I want.

Forgot to take pic of the camera, but here's the rest.
