I am helping one of the fellow from Benz forum to retro xenon package into the Depo headlight, I have purchased all the parts already (Depo headlight, and xenon projector & bulb from BMW X5, and ballast from Infinity G35, all the good part). However, the person just got into a situation that now every penny count, and he would like to cancel it.
As part of the deal, since I already bought all the part, the deposit is really not refundable, but knowing his situation now, I would prefer to return all back to him. However, I have no need to have a set of headlight sitting around (would be at my cost had I return all back to him). So I wonder if there's someone on this forum who's interesting in taking over this deal. In summary, the package include:
- Depo headlight for 96-99 model, purchased from AutoDynamic
- Infinity G35 ballast,
- BMW X5 projector (identical to RS6, but not bi-xenon), and bulb
Ballast and projectors bought from source who work at bodyshop.
The light output is much better than Mercedes OEM xenon (reflector). The BMW projector give a great purple hue when you drive at night (as seen on BMW & Audi), and there would be lot of useful light. You won't need to program car to recognize xenon, there's lamp failure message whatsoever.
If you're in SoCal, I could even arrange to have it installed & align for you (probably at no cost). This would help to save w/ the shipping & payPal fee, and minimize my lost, his lost, and your out of pocket.
In addition, I have quite a few person who contact me in the last 1/2 year, asking for help w/ retro headlight. I turned down most, due to my move, and expecting baby. Now that my boy is almost 4 months old, I have some free time again. So if you contacted me before, and got no help, pls PM me again.
I just wanted to say Zam has done a retro for me (bi-xenon) recently and he is really a professional at doing retro. I just got back the headlights from him, almost looks like OEM, he did wiring harness, etc.. what an excellent job, now I just need to install (plug & play). He is great to work with as well, I ran into issues with ballasts (flood damaged) I bought from some e-bay seller, he even fought for me and got a good replacement.
Guys.. if you are even thinking about a retro, go for it... don't know the price but you can't go wrong! I know the guy.
do you have any pictures of how it will look...i was thinking to update my lights because i got a 96 320 and the lenses are killing me...how gross they look... thanks

That set of headlight is sold within 30 min after I posted. I can definitely do another set for you, as I just order part to do retro for other forum member. Usually, I take time and it takes about a week or so to complete. Most of the time is to wait for the sealant to dry up.
I'm doing three sets right now, all are bi-xenon. One of the person who ordered will be going on a vacation, I can ask if he agree to pick it up later. that way, you can take his.
Diego97 - when you get it hooked up, hoping you can take photo of light pattern,
spread, on foreground as well as wall pattern.......low and high beam. i'm about
to do same using RS6. my slight hesitation is the great high beam i currently have
with my Depo/E55 bix combination and wondered if I would be taking step forward
or back....if I went with RS6. supposidly, the cutoff is sharper and more colorful but
that is secondary to me vs light beam placement and pattern. tnx!
