Headlight Upgrade Help
Hey guys, I got my 2003 S600 a few months ago and now I think it's time for me to put some upgrades on it. I thought I would start off with my headlights, as they are very foggy and yellowish, and I want to get brand new ones. I was looking on Ebay today and found these beauties:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-05-Mercedes-Benz-W220-S-Class-Chrome-Halo-LED-Signal-Projector-Headlights-/380916503936?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58b0649580&vxp=mtr
I instantly fell in love with these, as it gives the car such a more updated and amazing look with those beautiful LED DRLs and LED turn signals. However, when I was right about to buy this, I noticed that the description said the headlights are not compatible with the factory HID xenon system. I was bummed because my S600 came with the HID xenons, and I really want these.
I've searched everywhere for a compatible version of this headlight for my S600, none to be found. Is there a way that I can convert these headlights to HIDs and/or somehow get this to work with my S600? I really want these headlights, thanks a lot guys.

Those Won't work with factory hid, but its probably best you didn't get them as lots of ppl have been very unhappy buying these Chinese lights
You either want DEPO brand or factory mb update lights from a 2003-2006 model. They have an updated look and at least they are quality and won't burn out and cause errors

I want to get these headlights because of the LED DRLs, and sadly, that is the only headlight with the LED accents. Can I somehow modify my current headlights and put the LED compartment from the Chinese ones into mine? Thanks.
