today as i was driving my car at the turnpike ( 80mph ), my left orange corner popped out but i didnt realize until i reached my destination. im like what the F**K! so i lost it and replaced with my old clear corners. i've waited 3 weeks for that orange corner and now i might have to look for it again.

anyway, i'd love to get HIDs for my car and i would like to get suggestions from you guys. i have a couple of questions before doing so.
do i have to change the whole headlight assembly?
are those HID kit i see on ebay all original and safe to buy?
van you provide links to HID headlights pls. THANKS!

I have no budget so i'd rather get the best one !

* i kind of inclined on getting the crystal headlights. im not into the projector ones.

im attaching pix of my car . i really appreciate your suggestions.

Hey if you want an orange corner, I have a pair that I took off my car to update to the clear. I am the other side of the pond.

Shit man. the same thing happened to me 2 days ago!! I was driving on the highway (85mph) and i heard a noise go from my left side of my hood to the rear. Just like u i didnt realize till i got home, when i saw it i was like WTF!!?!? So i also put my OEM corner in and when i was driving to my friends house i heard the noise from the right side of the hood and go to the rear!!! Now i was pissed cause i knew what it was! So i pull of and hit the brakes to a screeching stop to look for it. NOTHING... So now im driving with one crytal clear and one OEM.

Dante, I live in south plainfield. I dont really go to those cities, but if you want to come to SP that would be cool.

I also am a detailer if you're interested. My details are on the higher end though, usually $250-$350 and take about 14 hours.

Exterior full detail is usually 12-14 hours, average interior is 3-4 hours but I have an assistant for interiors.

I do not have a business website but I do have some pictures of some cars i have done here

I have done many more cars than that (4 other w202s as well), but I think you get the idea from those pictures.

Give me a call about the detailing, 908 930 5054
