I have the regular Xenon HIDs in my 2000 ML55, and they are yellowing and did polish them, but they still look yellow.
I saw on Ebay with Bi-xenon and LEDs by Depo for like $450.
Anyone tried them?
Are these any good and since mine did not have bi-xenon, can they be wired
to my car?
The Hella's are quite expensive, almost like $800 per side.
and they also come in Bi-xenon, did not know if they work in my car.
Any suggestions would be great.

The key to restoring headlight housings is to have all the oxidation sanded out. I recommend the 3M kit with the drill attachment as sanding is more effective with a drill. Then you use the sealer and the clear coat to protect the housings from the sun's rays so they stay looking sharp.

OK, will try the 3M kit, I think I did it once like 2 years ago. May be I did not take all the oxidation off. I cannot remember if it comes with the sealer.

Yea you need to really sand the oxidation off, the drill attachment works best as the drill sands better than doing it manually by hand.

After I cleaned mine up with the 3M kit a couple of years ago I the sprayed the SEM UV protector on. Still looks new after two years. It is $45 a can, but IMO well worth it.
