Hi all, please help! My halogen headlights on my 05 W220 (S430) are crap. The silver reflector film on the low beam projectors is burnt from using HID bulbs on them. I tried to replace the stock low beam projectors with D2S ones, but that seemed too difficult to accomplish. So here I am looking into buying aftermarket headlights so I can see at night again. I would like to have HID for sure.
I found the following 3 options:
1- Unknown Brand https://www.protuninglab.com/20mebes...iABEgKsMfD_BwE
2- DEPO https://www.ebay.com/itm/DEPO-Faceli...n/123037164744
3- Eagle Eyes. Looks and cost about the same as option 2 (Depe).
They all say "Not Compatible With Factory HID / Xenon System" which means should be good to replace my stock halogen. BUT, what do you recommend? Which option should I use?

Go with Depo. One of the better quality aftermarket housing out there. See if you can source unit without seller packaged bulb/hid kit. They usually package cheap crap and mark up price. You're better off going with a higher quality HID kit that won't fail in a year.
Just wanted to throw an update on this. I am an honest end user and I am not trying to promote any of the products that I asked about. Based on AZN Optics and based on what I read on the internet, I went with the DEPO option from eBay (fishcake321) here is the link if you are interested:https://www.ebay.com/itm/DEPO-Faceli...72.m2749.l2649
The results were splended. Of curse that is to be compared to what I had before. I pretty sure that I would even get better results if I were to put in my own projector and select my own HID kit, but I am really happy with the results right now. I had to run my fog lights before to be able to see where I am going at night.
The car now looks brand new!!! New one on the left. Old one on the right. I did not have to aim the light. Just gonna keep driving like this for now until I see a need. Looks brand new!!!
