Default Projector Beams removed

Well, all is not well, the law of unintended consequences is in full force. The light pattern at night is dangerous on low. High is fine. There is a nice crisp Xenion like beam that unfortunately goes dark about 6 feet past the hood (after maximum adjustment). I should have waited to get a set of MB lights from the junk yard. Lesson learned, now it is a simple matter of getting my $300 from this ebay company who seems unable to answer emails.

Well, thanks for "taking one for the team". Important lesson learned here...you often get what you pay for. $300 seemed to good to be true for for those headlights.

Took it on the chin for sure, made in Taiwan, they look great but perform like crap, you just can't see.

Stay away from ebay lights, some are $600 some even more for Xenons, no way to know their quality. I can say for sure the $300 range is poor, if the $600 lights are twice as good they would still be poor.

Were I to do it again, I would get a set of factory MB projectors from the boneyard. K1 is a sponsor here, you might look thre too.

I was considering getting those $300 lights from ebay. What exactly was wrong with yours?
