Halogen or LED or HID

Hello everyone! I'm looking to convert my current 100w halogen H7 bulbs into HID or LED types. Anyone know a error free conversion that is pretty cheap?

Has anyone tried that one ^

Or that one ^

I'm in need of a brighter light source for low beam, as the two 100w halogens doesn't even light up the road at all. I currently have the stock projector lens for my car. Would i need to change those lens if i want HIDs in them?

There is a group buy forum here at mbworld where vendors sell error free hid kits. Get 55 watt hid they will be brighter

Personally I would try led just for the new technology but I don't think they are at the point where they will be brighter yet

Go with ddm tuning, they make great kits that are fairly cheap and choose the 55w kit over the 35w kit. You should never replace a headlight bulb with a led bulb, the output isn't even comparable unless your talking about fog lights.

Yeah ddmtuning.com is a good source for 55w hid kits

Call or email them to find out what error canceler you need to get

people should understand that the bluer/whiter the light (more sexy), the less you will see at night (because of the nature of the eye, that you can't change).

Personally I like 5000k color bulbs as they are pure white. Especially in the 55watt power. At 35 watt they look more blue

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Im going for the 8000k 55watt since the color gets washed out and 8000k turns into a 6000k. I need BOW3 error canceler for my 2003 S430.
