aftermarket kits are illegal. OEM kits are not. Someday im gonna gank a set of projectors from an E55 and fabricate them into the Max’s headlight housings. And even if they are, :gives: So is tint, test pipes (or fucking with anything that has to do with emissions), and all sorts of other shit that people do all the time. ---

Besides…you dont really want any German parts on your car, do you? :tounge: ---

Doug, you can order “true HID” kits online still. You have to order them through an overseas shops. Tuning companies not in the US. 🙂 Another option, however fairly pricey option, is to order a replacement set from a dealership. I’d bet you could go to a Mercedes dealership and order a replacement set. Tell them the set on your E55 burnt out. 🤣 ---

UNless you buy a set of projector housings, which all seem to look like ricey shit, you’re gonna have to retrofit so the possibilities are endless. ---

> [@Shaggy](#): > > wtf is so special about HIDs explain to me, Im stoopid you live damn close to sewickley, so Im sure you know what they look like. HID’s use xenon gas/metal halide filled bulbs. A big ass electrical charge is applied and the gases light up. There is no filament like a regular bulb. ---
