Actually I think it looks great the way it is.....

Much better than the stock orange/yellow.
What do the SilverVision bulbs look like??

It doesn't give off a blue reflection in the housing just blends in, but when you signal there is a hyper white color!

I had ToplineAuto Drop it to the tire with a 0.5 inch gap. It seems the airmatic adjust the car up and down so it doesn't stay at the same drop height. It tends to fluxuate up an inch and down when you park for a couple of days. The suspension is great and I can raise the car anytime I hit any major speed bumps or dips!

do you have the airmatic computer from Brabus or Carlsson? or are you using the oem "up" button

My W220 sits about .75" gap. Using DIY linkage mod.

BTY.. Headlights looks great.

I put the full factory quad tipped AMG cat back exhaust on mine, I still need to make the cut-outs in the bumper but I'm not sure how to go about it, I want it to look factory installed no hack jobs you know?
I figured I could just take it to my bodyshop but there's still a lot of room for them to do it wrong too.
Any suggestions? I realize you haven't done it either but got any good ideas? Thanks......

I just have quad tips on my car, but you should give www.toplineautomobile.com a call and talk to Zim he's the owner they customized my ride and can probably get you that flushed AMG look. Here are some pictures of the all chrome quad AMG tips. Enjoy!!

The Bi-Xenon are factory Mercedes parts. I bought it off Ebay. The install is very simple I just took off the old lights 3 screws holding it and swapped these in. I will try to get some shots with them on.

dtxmob, who was the seller for those Bi-Xenon on eBay?

Another questions:
1. Where did you get side bumper insert to replace orange markers?
2. Where did you order Quad AMG tips? Are they original AMG?
3. What is your car original model year and specs (your sig. is empty )

Thanks
