It just my opinion, but since your car is coded and all for xenons, I'd just spend the money on real projector bi-xenons. HID kit in a halogen projector might have good output, but bi-xenon projectors do it better and the projectors were designed for HID.

To have the back lights tinted out is even more then putting in new style lights. And then your still stuck with old style taillights.


Please explain to me what Performance Upgrades you can do to a W220 for $120 lol.

this im dying to know hahaha


the only thing i know is filling it up with 107 octance for $150 in connecticutlol
I didn't say performance upgrades, I simply said other mods..... out here for $100 you can get the tail lights tinted. IMHO I think it would go a lot better with your tail lights tinted since your windows are also tinted. The red pops out and IMO would look better if it was tinted because it would give a more blended look. Don't get your man panties in a bunch...just giving my honest opinion.

Looks good!

You should get the 03+ headlights, they look 100x better than the 00-02 headlights.

I believe they sell aftermarket '03 + 'newer style' headlights pre-wired for cars already with xenon. In fact, the ones I bought had an extra plug for the auto-leveling feature. I believe these should plug right in to your car since you already have xenon with auto-level?? I'm not too technically savy but I believe when I bought my headlights they could be used for cars with or without stock xenon. Someone can probably correct me if I'm wrong...

Since I have an '02 S430 with halogen, I did nothing with this extra auto-leveling plug. So basically its not plugged in to anything. I did, however, have HID installled in the projector lens.

You're new tails look sick! I need to get mine soon
