e55 Hid install
Hello everyone, i been on here for awhile and was wondering if some one can point me in the right place. I have a 03 e55 amg and i have stock xenon hid already and wanting to install aftermarket hid with no error hid. Im really hands on kinda person. i need help with how to install my new hids so i can see the road. Please if some one on here cant help figure how to install these because i took the stockys out and then i see 3 green wires that i dont know how to get power out of them to power my new hids. Please let me know how to figure this problem thanks anyone!!!

I'm not sure why would you want to install aftermarket HID into original HID???? Anyway, why don't you just clean the lenses you have, buy and install Philips Ultinon 6K (ORIGINALS) and call it a day?! Difference with those bulbs is night and day.

Honestly I/m lost. I have no idea what are you trying to achieve. If you just want to replace HID ballast that is not working just look on ebay for a replacement one. If you dont like the color of your existing bulbs, just changed them to the ones i told you in my previous post.

Do you happen to know the part number or where I can find clear lenses? The light output on my car blows I can barely see 10ft in front of me at night. The previous owner put 8000k hid bulbs, I'm planning on switching to some 6000k and see if it helps.

The higher the kelvin the lower the lumens, meaning less usable light. To change the lens you will have do to a DIY custom retrofit. You can purchase and contact The Retrofit Source . com, you will be able to choose from different types of lenses, and custom even the the cutoff of the beam. The Retrofit Source will be better at answering your technical questions.
If you do a search, you will also find some other member who have done this retrofit. The light output is greatly increased, with a great beam pattern.
