Headlight Advice (I know I know) ha!
Hello! I would appreciate any advice on the following item on Ebay. 120351475949. I have read about every previous post regarding the headlight subject. I know these are cheap and will probably give out poor light ect. Looks like Depo housing with plug and play? I know I am being cheap but I rarely drive my 02 S500 (with factory Xenon) at night and the current headlights just plain bother me. So I am really just going for a cosmetic fix here I guess. So I would appreciate your input. Let the beating commence! haha!

Thats what I got.
I been talking to Fishcake for a while now and finally bought them.
He tells me there is no Error messgae from these lights, plus they have autolvling. Depo Brand is good as well. You replace your system with their Xenon HID system your choice 6k lights or 8k.

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me your opinion. May I please ask if you went with the 6k or 8k? Did you have any issues installing them? Thanks!

Being Shipped!
I choose 6k cause our cars have 4300 right now and I read that 8k is those annoying ricers that blind you at the light when standing opposite of you.

I agree with Gondon and Max 6k is the best 8k is a stretch and don't go Blue like I did in my truck it looks nice sitting still but I can't see 5 ft in front of me at night. Don't be that guy!!!

S430
The lower the "K" value, the higher the lumens. More lumens means more visible light to the human eye. I have 4300K on all my cars/trucks. Very bright and more closely imitates the sun. Not much blue tho, so if you want them to show everybody you have HIDs then go higher Kelvin. If you are buying HIDs to see better at night, then go lower kelvin.
