6000K Xenon on my C

[Golden1245]

Thank You 714guy for helping me install them (or better yet, installing them for me...lol). I really appreciate it.

The setup hasn't been finalized yet because I'm still need to drill a hole into the dust caps. Also I need to make the inside more tidy. But the lights are pretty nice, except they aren't as blue as I hoped for them to be. They're actually more...white/purple :confused: Also, I have a funky arse beam pattern, but eh, it's still better then halogens.

looking good... i noticed you're still using the halogen housings... how bad is the spread on the beam pattern and do you have any pics?

be prepared to get pulled over. :P

[55 ON IT]

Most cops usually don't mess with Euro cars (Speaking from experience). They seem to like to pull over the "ricers" more often then not.

hmm, these don't even look that much like hid's, yeah they are bright as heck, but i was expecting a more bluish color. They're blue when they turn on, but after that, it turns into whitish purple...can i expect some more color change as i use it more and more?

are these bi-xenons?

[Golden1245]

zwaahhh? bixenons? lol, this is a w202, i ain't that high tech lol.

I'm ghetto and i'm still using the stock housing. From the hidforum, I hear that i have to make glare shields or soemthing, i dunno.

lol...bi-xenon means that both low and high beam is xenon...

some kits disable the high beam function...

I think it could be the fact that you're using halogin housing for HID bulb.
The reflector is not designed for it..


Below is my OEM/Bosch HID that I got from Bekker.
It came as complete headlight housing (with the proper HID reflector and ballast) and they're just plug and play with my OEM-eadlight wiring harness

As you can see the foglight is just a regular halogen bulbm the different is very obvious

wow, those look great J Irwan.

My lights are definately very bright and i see very clearly, but I'm just complaining about the color. I was checking with hidforums and everyone says Philips Ultinon is suppose to be whitish/purple instead of whitish/blue.

I was planning on getting hte OEM Bosch Kit but this philips kit was half the price of it heh.

Is there a way to get the OEM Xenon headlight housings, but without the xenons and all that stuff??

The reason it cost twice as much to get the OEM deal is because it comes with new headlights. Tough luck finding the lense only now.
