How does one detect if they have active corning headlights.
its 2006 e55
vin if that helps WDBUF76JX6A960078

crack drivers side headlight frame want to replace both sides.
Xenons are expensive but if I have to I will but have seen discussions about conversions to halogens, is that viable?

Anyway please ask questions if necessary and thanks it advance.

Whole new assemblies are about $550 each. I just got a pair to tear down and upgrade as my orig 2005 wires inside the housing disintegrated .

Also another vin decoder is lastvin.com

When you do the upgrade would you mind posting up the steps you do to the headlights.

This is something I’ve been interested in doing also.

Thanks!

Go to mbepc.net and search by VIN. The data card for your particular car will come up. Everything you ever wanted to know about it is available from that site.

yeah I can. It’s pretty easy to do either a lens swap or replace the whole projector once it’s open. The brand new hosings were a pain to open I am told. I had to have a friend pull them open for me bc I hurt a finger on my right hard and wanted to get it done finally.

so I will get them in the coming days and then remove the projector and swap in the Morimoto EVO-R and will adjust the lens spacing if needed to get a sharper focus but I don’t think I will needs that.

I will be using the Osram CBB bulbs bc they look amazing and damn close to newer LEDs. Below is the CBB bulbs on our LR3 that I a did a simple ZKW clear lens swap, few spacers to get razor sharp and a small adjust to the shield.

Nice! Yeah please do post your details. Also pics as you go if you can. Mine is an 05 and my sons a 04 I’m sure one or both will need some attention.
