Cool man, I remember a while back you asking about it, It is night and day huh? Like laser vision now! I remember when I did that on my old S500, I was so blown away by how much better projectors w/ 6000k hid bulbs were then the old stock frosties.

Could you post links? I would like to upgrade to projector and I have factory Xenon S500. If it is cost effective I would love to do it. It looks so fresh and up to date. Way to go!

These are DEPO headlights.
They come in 8k bulbs by defualt, but I told him to put in 6k. I told him I have the Factory Xenon just like stated in the auction so he could do some wiring, Its all in the description.

No Error messages and it has auto lvling

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-06...Q5fAccessories

I took it to the shop to install, I thought It was simple plug and play but the guys told me they had to rewire it and alot of work(Something about old headlights having 2 wires and this 3), these guys were pros and did this easily by rewring the system, cutting wires and etc.

Here are the Instructions that they give you though:

BenzAddict, where is it hanging.

Looks great, except it looks like it's not aligned properly with the hood and fenders too well...



Or was that a result of someone hitting your car?
