Can I do this retrofit?

I have 05 w211 with Dynamic headlights. Want to do Depo E63 style with EvoXRprojectors.

I've read 100 threads on this but can’t find solid info pertaining to mycurrent set up. I know you can do it on non-dynamic setups.

What is the easiest way to go this? I can swap the guts & lens of thedepo into my stock housing if need be.

E55
Coding and the harness needs to be installed for the Active-Headlights. I looked into it a few months ago.

Depo does not make active headlights. Use a heat gun and swap the lenses from depo E63 headlights.

That was my plan B for sure. Is there anything I can do to the stock projectors / bulbs? The stock HID's look nothing like the newer models. Output and color.

Get Depo lights - use the cover and inside

Get new lenses - swap active proj lens
I used these

Or these but double check they are compatible

D2S Bulbs - not the "new style color" but the Osram CBI are true 5000k and among the best you can get but about $160

Bulb and lenses you can get from theretrofitsource.com

I have the E63 facelift buckets they are brand new. they have my old plastic covers on them that need to be polished. I want them our of my garage and will make a deal. The box is large so if you're socal local you can save a bunch on shipping

I could be wrong but I remember people posting about dynamic compatible DEPO lights but they do not come with the ballast or modules so you just reuse your own.
