Any one done lighting mods ?

Good morning mb world I been away for a while now ... Looking what to get my self in too. Happen to visit the Manhattan mb and order a ML. White. with black interior, p1 , pamo roof , push to start. Pics will be up as soon as the truck gets here. I didn't do the lighting package figured I do as I always done. Throw in some 6000k on top. Led on the park lights and led plate light. Want to order all the lights now so I can put them the same day the car gets here. Any one try any of these lil mods yet ?

i put in some hid's, i don't like the color though. 5000k and 4300k bulbs tried out so far. too blue. the 5000k is turning more white though with time. lots of modification to get the bulbs in, properly mounted and sealed. I changed the parking light bulb in the high beam to light blue and waiting for the led bulb to arrive in the mail. the rear license plate light is already led.

Nice !!!! So then the only lights I'm going to be needing is the park lights hids and plate then right? To give it the whole matching look. Mind sending me the bulb sizes so I can order my lights to have them by the time the truck gets here.

what do you mean by parking light HID. The city light in the high beam lamp is a wedge bulb. I don't know the model number. This is not HID. I didn't change the high beam that is still incandescent. Are you calling the LED bulbs HID? HID is Xenon only. Also the license plate rear light is already LED as previously stated in the thread.
