Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the new to you MB. That CLS is a great intro into the brand with a roaring big block V8!

Let us know if we can help you give her a facelift with more modern whiter lighting

If you have white with a slight bluish hue, you'll want to stick with the 6000-8000K range. 10,000K gets a bit purplish.

We carry top shelf Morimoto HID conversion kits that'll be plug and play for you. Let us know if we can help you out there.
