So my '05 headlights are looking like crap after 9 years in the AZ sun, no polish works anymore. I figured I'd pick some replacements up. I found these really nice looking lights off eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FITS-03-06-BENZ-W211-E-CLASS-BLACK-PROJECTOR-DRL-STRIP-HEADLIGHTS-FITS-HID-D2S-/121359094357?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c4190d255&vxp=mtrBlack, with LED DRLs, very sharp looking.

Obviously, the '05 does not come with the additional LED's that these have. I have found some good DIYs on swapping out the headlights, but nothing on hooking up the LED's to the car. Has anyone had experience doing this? Can I just splice the LED cables with the main headlight cables (I figure the LED would consume very little power) or is that a bad idea and I need to do something else (like a relay elsewhere)? Let me know if you can provide advice or a link to a DIY. I just love the DRL look, but if I can't figure it out, I might have to go with the non-LED option. Thanks!
