Hey guys new to the forum and MB family

I just sent in my deposit for a 05 E55 a couple hours ago and it should be here in about a week..
Three important questions:
1.Where can i buy the clear front refectors.
2.Where can i buy a quality set of 12k xenon's and 8k fogs (my car has the damned halogens)
3.If i were to go forth with a Let tune without the pulley would that be easily detected by Mercedes and void my warrenty? My car comes with a mb certified extended warrenty so i would hate to void it.
Thanks
Andy

1) ebay - search for "W211 clear"
2) not sure about quality but ebay has lots of bulbs that will fit also - phillips are always a good bet for quality
3) depends on dealer from what i hear - some care and some do not care. I wish there was a way to figure out if my dealer cared. I have the same issue and for now, am thinking about waiting to mod until the CPO warranty is expired

And WELCOME! post pics when u get the car!

Congrats!

12K is too high for HIDs IMHO. Too much color, not enough output. 6K would be the best setup.

Welcome, I hope you enjoy your new car. I would contact AMGJERRY or ChicagoX about your LET tune questions.

1.) Why not get the european bumper strips, they completely remove the amber or clear lense. let me know we have them painted for $175, and unpainted for $75.
2.) We sell our HID kits for $120 plus shipping and they are all error free.... If you would like the bumper strips we can just toss the HID's into the same box.
3.) If it is a flash, the physical ECU is not touched or altered, they would not know that a tune is in your vehicle.

hope that helps and I hope your enjoy your new vehicle, and your holiday season.

James
