    yeah they dont look too bad

    which one is the low beam? would that be the projector? and what's all the other lights in there used for? Looks good so far can't wait to see it on the car. Also can you please take a picture of the light beam pattern?

    Low beam is projector lens, below that is high beam, next to projector is fog light and that little one in the corner is parking (or city) light.

    I'll take several pictures with heads installed, don't worry, that will be by the end of next week, I can't wait till then too.

    I have to tell you guys, the only thing I suspect is some kind of plastic material instead of glas (outside cover) and I really dunno how it's gonna look like when it lights on the road, I hope that I won't disturb other drivers...

    And yes, those are 6PINs connectors heads.

    what's the size of the low beam bulb then? right now for oem i have a H4 for both high and low. so that would mean it's a different bulb right?

    Low beam H7, high beam H1, fog light H3, parking light W5W.

    Btw, do you guys know exact size of 3rd brake light? Can't pull out that bulb, I'd like to replace it for some LED bulb...

    Isn't the little section under the low beam the Fog light and next to the projector is the High? and What exactly is the little circle? a blinker?

    Someone finally bought one of these Headlights on this forum! Would like to see the results and the lighting of this product! Something new! Yay.

    There were some vehicles before mine...

    But, headlights are installed, just came from my mechanic.
    Information?
    They look AWESOME!!!

    However, projector is low beam, next to the projector is high beam and below projector is fog light...

    Pics will be available next week, probably tuesday, I can't wait too.

    Hm, it seems that this is gonna be a potential trouble for me.

    Bulbs for low beam aren't strong enough (we tried only in garage so this has to be taken with some reserve) and I should buy some new bulbs. There is almost no light 2m in front of the car, that is maybe usual for projector type headlights, dunno.

    What do you guys recommend in that case, it's H7 bulbs.

    Well, car isn't painted yet, that's the point, don't worry.
    Hehe, I'm driving my friend's (he owns that mechanical garage) CLK 200 Cabrio atm and, I'd like to say that I'm not in a rush any more.
