Where are they going to install them? The E63 bumper has no provisions for them

JlredMB

How about the same place as the OEM 63 bumper?

AMGPilot

Sure if you want them surface mounted and not flush.

JlredMB

That is true for sure...but I was just commenting that they could be done!

I also suppose a good shop could mount them flush, maybe even lower...though I am not sure the aftermarket bumpers are eve setup for them. I think some smoked lens' on a black 55 would look sweet

Anyone using HID bulbs with suvneers fog lights?

Evolved8

Iam, I had to modify the housings to work. You have to dremel out the plastic holder that the halogen bulb fits into and slide the hid bulb through it. Hids will not lock down in the foglamp housing for some reason.

Not quite finish yet and I do apologize for the crappy picture that my camera phone takes.

Is this with a 9006? I am trying to find the correct HID replacement size, i'd confirm it myself but my kit is with the body shop. I remember reading the suvneer housing accepts an h7 bulb but now cant find the thread. Maybe i misread and im making this up because obv our OEM is 9006?

E55 - 9006

theunderlord

No isht? Hmm, that kinda sucks?

saleen01

started my conversion today, I have parktronic, they are going to try and re-use the brackets, keep you all posted on how it goes

Evolved8

They come in quantities of 1

Meh, Yes. I'am not sure what I'am going to do now one of my hid's is already out

The sensors will will not match into the brackets on the bumper.

saleen01

can you explain, i never took a good look at gary's bumper, it comes with brackets ?

what do i need to tell my bodyshop to do/order?

thanks

Duc1098E500

Gary's bumper comes with brackets but it is specifically for an E63 sensor which is smaller in size than E55/E500. I just plugged them up for now and disabled my parktronic via star.

saleen01

so what are people doing to keep the parktronic working?
cutting off brackets? putting on e55 brackets from existing bumper?

Duc1098E500

I believe people are swapping their old brackets to Gary's bumper. Unfortunately, I can not tell your how hard or easy it is to remove the brackets off of Gary's bumper. Shouldn't be too difficult but idk.

saleen01

ahh ok, understood....thank you
I'll keep everyone posted as we make progress..

kompressorfed

Evolved8

Use the Brackets in the Parts list x6 and u cut the ones off Gary's bumper.
