Lightbulb Widebody Prior Design SL + DPE Deep Concave SP-SC5 - Perfect

As we are a distributor for both brands, this is a double whammy post. This '05 SL has a full prior design conversion. It i also sporting a set of custom DPE SP-SC5 deep concave wheels adding some smooth lines and color to its beastly black exterior.

Let me know if you like the wheels and the body kit. Both are available through us.

You have to custom fabricate the brackets for the lights. This is something that the company you bought the kit from should have told you.

So you have gotten a new set of headlights but the bulb from your current xenon kit from your car will not work with the new headlight? If that is the case, you can either buy a full xenon setup for the face lifted SL from the dealer or I can see if I can make a generic, inexpensive HID Xenon kit work with the old connectors and the new headlights.

Can anyone comment who has the PD widebody kit on their car (non black series), as to what offsets to run? We are waiting for the kit to arrive, but need to get some wheels on order. Prior Design suggests 10 x 20 fronts with ET 11 and 11.5 x 20 rears with ET 5, but this seems ultra conservative based on the wheels we currently have on the stock vehicle. We plan to run 9.5s on the front and 12.5s on the rear. It "may" get lowered, but not dramatically if at all. Any comments from anyone with experience would be greatly appreciated!
