Headlights xenon vs halogen

Hello,

The headlights of my vehicle are halogen. Halogen lamps remain weak and I want white light, but I tried LED bulbs very weak and tried that the LED bulbs are not according to the halogens with lens. You should use Xenon.

I look at the cheap xenon kit, but I want to buy it as D2S Kit, not H7. Why do I want D2S Kit because I want to wear high quality D2S headlight instead of Chinese headlights.

However, of course, D2S headlights are the subject of the socket, H7 halogen. Interestingly, when I look at the W164 headlights from the EPC, there is a uniform headlight block that does not leave for xenon and halogen. (A 164 820 01 59 and A 164 820 02 59)

Question?

Does D2S ampul fit our halogen headlights or i need any converter?

The similar kit I want to buy (better one);

Only H7 bulbs will fit your current projector. H7 HIDs will be brighter but won't throw light in the right place.

If you really want better headlights, do one of the following with your current headlights:

Both threads are about stock bi-xenon adaptive headlights but 90% of the work is the same for the halogen lights. It's actually easier on the halogens as you don't need to deal with the adaptive stuff.

You can go the cheaper HID route with the EvoX-R or Morimoto Mini D2S, or you can go the more expensive LED route with the Morimoto MLED. You can also add LED high beam projectors into the high beam position if you want to, which will be brighter and more focused than any LED or HID high beam bulb.

I apologize.

I looked at the codes wrong, the main headlight is number 10 (not 170). In this case;

Codes for XENON Headlight unit;
A 164 820 53 61
A 164 820 54 61

Codes for Halogen Headlights;
A 164 820 47 61
A 164 820 48 61

German law requires headlight washing with HID lighting … so, if washers are evident on bumper, vehicle has HID.

for complete headlight from Mercedes …

Halogen $350
HID $2000

inserting another bulb type into an existing unit always creates an illegal beam pattern. The cost shown explains the fantasy.
