They look nice, but don't expect factory light output or build quality. The beam pattern will be different and will likely be worse than your current OEM pattern. With that being said, I would run a search and see what you can find as far as feedback on fit and what not. They sure do look nice and give it an updated kind of look.

EDIT: - The Low Beam and High Beam are now used H7 bulbs, they are included
- This headlight is for halogen model direct plug and play, and it will also fit on models with factory Xenon HID but you need to purchase additional 2 adapters
- Xenon HID ready, if you want to add xenon HID lights, just buy HID H7 kit and you are ready to put it in (We also sell a set with the real XENON HID Pre-Installed, please contact us for further details!)

I have them and the light source is fine, good cut off line, overall good for the price, but those will not fit your car you need to get the 96-99 version.

Depo makes ok quality lights... if you do get them i would strongly suggest to do a retro job get HID projetctros from w211 lights or any other high end projectros...

P.S. if you have HID healights from factory these would be step down without conversion...

In a nutshell,

1. source out a set of projector lights (doesn't have to be from a MB, any good ones will do)
2. open up your OEM light housings
3. cut, screw, clip, and find a way to mount the new projectors in there
4. wire it up to the existing ballast
5. reseal OEM housing

Ok to clarify.. can I use my current Xenons and install on these new projector lights?

and purchase the 2 additional adapters?

Or purchase New Projectors w/Xenon

This headlight is for halogen model direct plug and play, and it will also fit on models with factory Xenon HID but you need to purchase additional 2 adapters

I would wait for someone else to chime in, but I believe it is recommended that you get a projector HID to put into the housing.
