I think this may be what you mean.

This is my R170 SLK with an R171 headlight conversion!

A fabulous kit! Where can I get one? How much? I can do my own install an paint so at least I will save on those issues.

I bought a kit from Ebay that converts to true HID. The kit came with clear instructions, the bulbs, ballasts and wiring for $150. Other forum members have discouraged these cheaper kits, but frankly.....It works great! They are as bright white as the HID headlights on my wife's 2005 Pacifica at less than half the cost of one of her bulbs.

adelaideslk, What parts did you use for the install (besides headlights)? Was there a lot of bodywork to do to make them fit? That absolutely rocks!

Disreguard... I read the whole other thread. It is awesome though!

I agree and did the same. 4300k and beam pattern nearly identical to the halogen bulbs removed.
