01 SLK 320
HID Conversion KITS

I drive a 2001 SLK 320 and have been looking for reliable H7 HID kits. I have come across several different kits, some that come with a ballast/igniter and some even that go beyond that and connect to the battery for the positive charge. Of course the high names like Phillips/Hella come to mind.

I found a 4100K hid kit on xenonfactory that I was looking at. Does anyone know anything relevant about this kit? See link below.

http://www.xenonfactory.com/products/hid/polarion.htm

Also check out the details on the installation of this kit.

If anyone has done any sort of upgrade such as this, could you recommend any specific kits, besides the one on xenonfactory? Please provide the site you may have got it from and the price you paid for kit.

Also, I have read that in order to prevent a glare from the kits, you have to get projectors for the bulb housing. Can anyone provide more insight on this?

SLKs are not prone to the glare as the H7 bulbs are unshielded too.
4100 is a good color for HIDS. I have thm in my 98 SLK. 4300 Low, 5000k high 4500 Fogs

What do you mean by "SLKs are not prone to the glare", "H7 bulbs are unshielded"???

I am not comprehending this....please elaborate.
