They do however make alot of lights for Mercedes and he means put custom projectors in for the hi-low's not just the fog's that usually come on the after market lights.

i'm sorry i don't understand. i dont see how you sound like an ahole. are you asking how to retrofit the projectors? there are several ways to do it. and yes i got the ebay fog projectors and added the low/high beam projector. but you can also use your stock headlights and add projectors to it. you pretty much just take off the lens and put a projector in there. there are a lot of ways to custom it, i know remolexi has the stock housing with halos and a projector customed in. this is why i made this thread to see how others have retrofitted their headlights. it has nothing to do with luck. if you have any questions just feel free to ask.

yeah that's pretty much what you do. you get projectors from another car, the best out there would be the stanleys from a s2k or the tsx. if you want to keep your high beams then you use the TL. and then you mount it into your own headlights. you would need to take off your original lens and make clear ones or purchase clear ones. I believe there was a member on here that made his own clear lens with plexiglass. search for it and i think he had a diy.

depending on which projectors you use, it should come with a bracket. like the s2k and then you can glue the bracket to your headlights or you can bolt it somehow. i use bondo and fiberglass. but that's just the back of it, the back part of the projector to just hold it to the headlight housing.

yeah. if you're not good with cars or fabricating then i won't recommend retrofitting headlights. it takes a lot of time and money to do it. i'm a lights fanatic so that's why i did this. i love my lights, i always want the brightest ones. if you're not crazy about lights then i dont know if this is worth your time and money. the projectors are usually going to cost you around 200-300, then you have to get HIDs which are another 250-300 dollars. and if you use new headlights then that will cost you even more. so you are already looking at, at least 450 dollars.
