Only the last one is a true HID kit.
It is the best thing out there next to getting a set from the Stealership.
I dont like the projectors, so cannot help you with that one.

I didn't know they went for $1400 damn that's expensive.
With the first two choices tho, can i use my stock bulbs and whiich one looks less ricey?

id go with the second option which is the black projector ones and get an aftermarket HID kit installed in them wont cost you more then $500.

the bekkers hid is the same as oem right? Can someone please either link to explain the 4-5 pin difference and how we are able to use the city light instead of just breaking the pin off....

Im with Denlasoul on this one... I dont like after-market headlights (especially projectors). They look ricey no matter what car theyre on. I would personally get the third choice, the Bekkers HID setup.

Right now I'm purchasing the AMS Crank Pulley from Omey plus a full exhaust setup so i'm a little low on fundsOriginally posted by ludachris

Save up and buy the best thing you can afford.
Trust me, you dont want to skimp and buy something you "kinda" like and then go and replace it a year later with the real thing.

how easy is it to install? And did urs cost $1400??
If I get the Bekkers, it will be in the fuuture, my first priority is performance. I have some anti-roll bars and HP-surging mods in mind for now

yeah they cost $1400, i had to save up for a few months too, believe me its worth the wait. install is a breeze, just take out the old headlights and put in the new ones, i snipped off the city-light pin so that the 4pin connector would fit, best part is that the ballasts go in the oem locations, one under the passenger side headlight, and one under the drivers side fender, so no ugly ballasts or wires are cluttering up ur engine bay
what can you do so you are able to use the city light?

Theyre bulbs in the headlight housing that are about as bright as a dome light and are used to illuminate the headlight housing during dusk/dawn or any other low light (not dark) situation to make the car more visible to other drivers.Originally posted by Nelson Lago

I used to have a set of OEM Xenons with my old 94 280. I got the city lights to work by buying a headlight connector for a 190e and adding a pin.
Now that i have my C36 I'm going to get the OEM Xenon again. Was thinking about checking Steve @ Mbenz.com
