MimoUSA Clear projector lamps W210,are they nice?

Anyone tried these? I think they look better then the DEPO ones when they have the cuts around the projector. But are they any good? Quality?

Titanium


Clear

I would be pretty interested in these for my non-AMG 210. Would like to hear more about it.

Checked their site but couldn't figure out how to select your car or anything. Whats the price on them?

I never heard of them.... Pretty pricey, I'm sticking with the Depo's for a lot less w/HID. Been going back and fourth w/Ebay seller. I'll post on Sat. w/Details including install guide.


For these lights scroll down E-Class

Thanks for the link. It is pretty pricey compared to the depo lights. How do you know which depo light item for sale on ebay is legit? I see a lot of different lights for sale with very different pricing.

Also, is the light ouput on the depo's really that bad that you have to swap in RS6 projectors?

It appears DEPO with upgraded projectors are still the best option, I heard mimousa aren't that good either.

yes the output is pretty bad with wrong projectors. I think hella sells replacement projector lenses for relatively cheap that are a direct drop in (or almost).

How bad are we talking for the DEPOs? Bad for them being projector lights or worse than factory halogens?

i've never seen these in person, but the titanium ones look pretty good. i have the depo's with hids....the beam pattern is "acceptable" as long as the bulb is PERFECTLY seated in position.

OT.....hey abalone, how's the engine coming along?

I install some of this in a custommer car (he purchase the headlights) i only install them. looks good, but in my personal oppinion the DEPO ones looks better.. i know many 210 have depos & some people whant to get other options. is a personal prefference. i only can sayd they are not to resistant than DEPOS, my custommer need to polish them every 1 - 2 months to have it clean :S the plastic fades very fast & you can not polish the inside part and turns yellowish, the rubber part is the same than DEPO (like a shat... one year & dies)..

The titanium ones looks very good to me

Thanks for the input guys!

I've tried to get in contact with a few sellers of the MimoUSA without any luck. So i wonder if anyone here could be my hero and buy them for me, and then have them shipped to me in Sweden? I'll do a pre-payment ofcourse

I want the Titanium. Please PM me if anyone would feel like doing this for me

Hi! It's going fine! The engine is ready and i'm waiting for the spring to arrive here in Sweden so that i can run the engine in.

Will be buying a 82mm Throttle body really soon and after the engine is run in we will be start to install all the "mod parts".

It turns out really expensive like you all know So i hope i can do all i want to do

Nice car. Must be a dream to drive that in the country roads of Sweden in the summer. Best wishes
