Headlight upgrade

hello,

So I have a 2007 Mercedes S550 with adaptive headlights. I bought aftermarket headlights that dont support the adaptive option. My question is do I need to do anything to the headlights or do I just need someone to turn off the adaptive option in my car? These are the lights I bought on ebay

Good luck... Many of those aftermarket lights are poorly made. Can you put your old controller on them? The seller should tell you if they are "plug and play". If they are not, you'll get error messages

Let us know when you figure this out and if you can post a pic of your car to see how they look. Been thinking of doing the same but haven’t found any aftermarket lights that work with the active curve lights

I spent 5 months chasing ghosts... they don't exist anymore as of today. Fishcake (the seller) told me they'd have more in July...
