You lights look awesome, can you please post part numbers for the Fogs and High Beams.

Also do you have the factory xenons.

The chrome headlight rings look cheap and remind me of the chrome fender pieces that some 126 owners had on their cars. Remove those and it would look much nicer.

thanks - i really want to take a better pic of them, perhaps at dusk so the light bloom isnt so great...ill try that.

part numbers for the Fogs/High beams -- not sure what you mean, in my first post i mentioned the Fogs are H1 Piaa Spark Blues and the highs are H7 Piaa Xtreme White Plus.

and yep i have the factory xenons.

i am leaning back and forth between them. right now they are off as the first set i got didn't stick on very well so the supplier is shipping me a replacement set. going to see how those turn out - i do like the trim though.

It seems you've now got more kilowatts in the trunk than under the hood...LOL. And you get better traction as a bonus! It must sound awesome!
Nice job with the matching lights. I've done it too on my W211. Looks better without the chrome rings around the lights
