C250 Blue efficiency (AMG Sport) W204 60reg (2010)
Headlight conversion

Hi, I love my C250 (W204) 60reg pre-facelift, but I am tearing my hear out with the rubbish H7 halogen headlights. I live in the SW and British country lanes are a nightmare. Ive been considering HID conversion or LED conversion kits. My budget is minimal and I don't really want to spend more than £50. Can anyone advise me on what I can do to solve the problem? any sensible ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Buy the bixenon headlights on ebay and install them, or retrofit the headlights. Don't install HID bulbs in a halogen housing.

Look for depo headlights online. Choice of xenon or led as well as halogen.

I seriously doubt you will find anything to improve your headlight lighting if you only can spend the equivalent of $65 US. Will take a lot more than that to achieve what you are looking for. Do a search on here on some of the many lighting threads to understand your options and what they would cost.
