uh oh....i may be in trouble. 
okay, i'll stand by. but just to clarify (and not
an attempt to weasel out) I mean.... no such thing as H7 Xenon/HID. i know
that as far as H7, they can inject any fancy gas, be it krypton, xenon, halogen
...and i think one other. but xenon is usually a term used to describe HID. it's
this last part that i'm challenging. tnx

there is no such thing as OEM H7 xenon. if you provide me part #, i'll print
this out and eat it, then send you new lotto ticket from WA state. again,
99% of HID kits dropped into halogen projectors (and reflectors) produce
uncontrolled glare. penny wise, pound foolish. you may have Jessica Simpson
on your arm at a party, but just dont let her speak.

Confused
Well I own a 2000 S320 with what I believe are halogen headlights.
I removed them and replaced them with aftermarket projector headlights.
Frankly they were absolute garbage. One light is at the wrong level and they only project about 10 feet infront of the car.
What do I do ?
Can I convert to HID ? I don't believe my car has any of the Xenon features so how do I do it? I'm just a little confused by what people are saying I don't quite understand what's going on, sorry to sound like a fool but any help would be appreciated otherwise I'll be back on the misty nasty OEM headlights which is no good !
Kind Regards

Ok maybe I've figured it out
Am I right in assuming that I need this -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...spagenameZWD1V
Then I can install the Xenon HID into my aftermarket projectors and get the correct brightness etc ?

It's not the brighness that's your problem.
If I had the money, I would buy OEM Halogen Projector lights. Can somone provide a link to where you can get the oem Halogen Projector lights. converting to HID I think is a lot of work and money.
