    HID in US ellipsoids.

    Fuzzy pic and the road turns up at the end but this should give you an idea of the amount of light these deliver. Thank you Mercedes warranty scrap 😮

    You say "Where are your other two cylinders?"
    I say "Where's your other camshaft?"

          Not really a brand you can buy. They are osram bulbs but the controllers are Mercedes benz. Mainly just showing that 25 year old projectors with xenon bulbs works awesome.

                Bumping this. He may not want to give up secrets. I have a friend that works as a mechanic for Mercedes and he loaded up his sandrail full of Mercedes hid lights from warranty parts, for freeeeeeeeee!

                  No secrets here, I'm just pretty busy. And my installation is a bit ghetto since I wasn't sure I could get a decent enough pattern from bulbs that don't fit. That being the case, I will work on a more permanent mounting. Here is a quick pic of the bulb type.

                    And the "installation" thank you zip ties. I want to make it look more permanent but the reality is that this works even if it isn't pretty.
                    I had to remove the steel clip on the back of the lamp, and grind down a few of the tabs that were keeping the bulb from sitting flush. After it did that, the brightest part of the pattern was at the center/top of the up tick, right where you want it. I believe I could go back to halogens any time since this is all reversible. But then they'd be too dim...
