Like These Lights?
Has anyone seen these on a W220? How do they look?

I like the way they look. only thing is the wiring at the back could be a lot neater. If you do get them let us know how they work (no error codes etc) plug and play, and post pictures. I don't think that it comes with instructions.

I like the way that the lights look on the car that they showed. There maybe an error code if the auto leveling is not on these lights, unless there is some way to clear or deactivate it
. I would also want the DRL to be wired seperately so when the car is started they come on. Wiring it to the park light may also cause an error code. The main problem is that it does not come with instructions on wiring. Other than that I like the way they look.

From the pictures, I'm not the biggest fan of these lights. In my opinion, I think they look tacky and squished inside, and takes away the elegance, shape, and curves of the OEM headlights. I am interested to see how they look though. Real life pictures are usually a totally different story!

So here it is what happened I was going home after a long day at work suddenly spotted a black S class but i was having hard time believing,that it was a S class because of Audi type Led headlights. I made U turned and started chasing, finally got closed and pulled right next to him and said, I really like those headlights and asked him where he bought it from and he replied that he bought it from CARID.COM.It was black 2000 S430 and let me tell you guys those lights were looking amazing so whoever put those lights on definitely a big thumbs up from me. Sorry guys could not take pictures because i don't want to freak him more.lol

sorry for the delay guys , i was in the hospital for a few days ... long story and completely off-topic
ok , so i got the lights and i was real excited about them and had the dealer put them on straight away ...
but let me tell you that these lights are crap !!! the led's are not bright at all and they are not xenon's and do not have the auto-leveling feature (believe me , once you don't have it , you realise how important it is , especially on poorly lit streets) ...
the mechanic at my dealers was surprised as to why i would opt for these lights as he felt that it was a downgrade from the OEM's that i have (i drive a 221 MY2005) ...
my advice , stay away from these lights ...
i'm putting up the only one picture that i took ... it's not that great , but i was so dissapointed , i went and changed back to my OEM's the very next day ...
total waste of $350 + shipping to UAE ($120) + $200 to the dealer = :-( :-(
no error codes showed up ...
