IVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR A YEAR TO DRIVE IN THE DARK. THANKS MAN!! IM GLAD IM A SUBSCRIBER!!!😁😁
+Axel Gonzalez Happy to have you as one!
@@RaymondUrias please help, my 2014 glk 350 Allen knob doesn't increase the height when I turn it counter clockwise
I have the exact same car and I love what Youv done to it , the way you explain things saves me a lot of hassle when I can DIY , keep up the good work bro 👌🏽 implementing my own project on the Merc by viewing your videos .
+Showeb Akhtar Thanks man for the awesome comment!!! Tag me on Instagram so I can see what you have done @raymonduriasjr
Glk350 is what you need, its a just a lifted w204,they literally share the chassis and about 90% of parts with more interior space and clearance.You could keep most of your mods from the c300 and just put them back in the glk.
You are spot on about those cheap LED lights, they would stay on and one morning I woke up to a dead battery cause those cheap lights would just go on and off all by themselves even when my engine was off =(
Thank you so much for this video..!!!😎🙏🏼
Thank you very much, this was very helpful!
Great Job My Bro, Every Video I Learn I Lot Fron You!!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
+hernan astu Thanks man! Enjoy all that good food I saw on Instagram!!
Raymond Urias 😋😋😋 Yeah All That Food I Prepared For Today i was Very Good!!!! Have a good night with Your Family My Friend Enjoy.....
I use Hose Grip pliers, they are almost a perfect fit to get around the little bulb housing and it does not break anything :) Of course you still need to be careful and not crush it and use the same pressure you would if you were using your fingers, Just put some electrical tape on the ends for added grip.
I somehow pulled the whole light housing out and it broke in half LOL
My friend you helped me a lot, thanks
Hi, like to check with you.. at the back of each 2009 W204 headlights, there are TWO WHITE screws. One of the Screw, which you explained is to adjust the heights of the projector lens. What is the other WHITE Screw for? Is it to adjust the DEPTHS (Forward or Backwards) of the Projector lens? My right lights is currently very dispersed, there isn’t one solid concentration. The lights is spread until like there isn’t any. Hope to get an answer from you. Thanks.
Very helpful video, thumbs up for more videos like this. Now i know how to adjust my headlights 👹
When I'm adjusting the Allen key clockwise or even counter clockwise, the headlight doesn't seem to adjust. Is it a fast process and just requires a bunch of turns ? any ideas?
Were you able to fix it?
If you're still monitoring this site, I made the clockwise adjustments as you suggested but nothing happened. I'm wondering what the actual mechanism that I'm rotating looks like in a breakdown? I'm also wondering if something is stripped that won't lower the lights? Both headlights are in the same condition, simply too high and won't lower.
Thank you for this 👍
First of all congratulations to the parents and hope that it is a baby with great health is the most important. And lastly do not leave Mercedes, I was also father in June 2017 and I have a C350 AMG stationwagon and I love this car, the driving is the same as the sedan and you have space for the baby's things for the mother thing ....
Mauro Kintela I would totally rock a wagon!
I've had the R-class 320 diesel for 11yrs now. It's a 6seater, with trunk space. or it's a 4 seater with a large trunk space. Wouldn't change.
Awesome videos Raymond, the quality and details you put into the videos to make it 100% viewer friendly is incredible. I have a 2012 C300 4matic and was wondering if you use the Morimoto 194 for not only your headlights but also as your high beams? I'm conflicted on whether or not to buy them for my high beams since I rarely ever use my high beams.
I'll be sure to tag you in my pics on instagram when I have everything done. Thanks again, please keep up the videos!
+Baylor Wilson Thank you for the awesome comment!!! I would not use this bulb as a primary headlight, I would opt for the Morimoto H7 HID canbus system. If you want to be the brightest car on the road get the 55w system you won't be disappointed lol. Don't worry about the high beams, it's not worth the money to change them out since you rarely use them! I can't wait to see your mods on Instagram.
Thank you for that great lessons.
Subscribed and liked...I just need answer to one question: Are you still using Morimoto 194 bulbs for eyelids? Or do you have any other recommendation?
Yes the morimotos are still in the eyelids and still alive
The reason why the right low beam light is dipped a little is so that when you drive past people your not blinding them. Congratialations you have now blinded every single person you have drived past XX
Perhaps in the UK, South Africa, Australia, etc you would be correct. In the US, the left (aka driver side) is the one that should be lower as it will be the one closer to oncoming traffic since we drive on the right
Are you using the morimoto 194 xb? Or 2.0 ? Where did you purchase?
Dude you’re badass. That’s such a cool shirt!!
Great to see your name here!
Awesome video. Thanks
Thank you sir , great job analysis///////😀
Best video!
Hi Paul
Do you how to adjust head light for Mercedes Benz Bclass 180 model
you did a great job on this video
Hello
any idea or video to explain how you blacked in your headlights ?
Thank you for the info :) keep it up!
Mazen Joumaa here you go:
mbworld.org/how-tos/a/mercedes-benz-c-class-how-to-black-out-headlight-housings-388516
thank you so much man
Ok I've learned that there is no side to side adjustment, helpful! Now what if the lights when installed correctly point left? My lights look new and are MB but the light is shifted. Any thoughts other than replacement?
I'm having the same issue any solution?
Great video. Will try it tomorrow 👍
E class 220 can you adjust from RHD to LHD bixenon lights. Surprised that Mercedes dealers were not familiar with that
great video man thanks, any idea how to adjjust the hight on a gl450 2007, besides the left and right, thanks
Does this adjust the high beam too, or is that a different screw?
Same process but it's a different adjustment screw
Great Video!! How do you remove the cover that sitting top of the headlight under the hood?
In Jones little plastic tabs need to be turned 90° to unlock them then lift up
Hi man! Could you tell me which brand of h7 are fitted on your car?
Morimoto
Is it the same for the E220? My son has just had his car failed the MOT. The failed bits were headlamp aim too high on both front headlights.
Also the headlamp levelling device inoperative Nearside Rear.
Any ideas what they mean by this last bit?
The garage said once he has got the new headlamp levelling device fitted, it will then automatically adjust the level of his headlamps??
Is this correct? What is the levelling device they are talking about please - I have tried to see where I can get one, but it comes up that the part can't be recognised.
Thank you so much if you can help with this.
He has a 2011 Mercedes E220 Sport CDI BLUEEFFICIENCY 2.1Ltr.
Many thanks
If he does have auto leveling it is built into the headlights. He could always buy aftermarket headlights that don't have that feature. His headlights should still have a manual adjustment
@@RaymondUrias thank you for your quick reply. I'll get him to check.
please help, my 2014 glk 350 Allen knob doesn't increase the height when I turn it counter clockwise
That was excellent. Thanks
QueStion about your Morimoto XB led’s. Do they give you any error message when installed ? Have you installed these on the side markers or license plate lights ? Any luck? Looking to purchase these Morimotos just want to make sure I won’t get an error
Xb led?
The only led running is on the eyebrows Morimoto 194.
My main lights are hid with a canbus system.
Side Marker has a kit with a resistor, there is a video of it on my channel
Why would there not be a left and right adjustment screw?!?.
What about adjusting headlight beam hight on a merc GL that have automatically moving headlights?
Hey ray what lights did you use for your fog lights? I’m assuming they are white or xenon correct thanks!
+Andy Aragon S.M.D LED with Canbus decoder. Video coming soon
Sounds good!
I know this is old news but you should get an Audi q3 or q4 I want one. I'd tune it for easy get up and go power when you need it. Do a front mount intercooler I don't suggest q5 or 6. Q3 is very efficient and plenty of room. My c300 is 2011 paddle shifters with a injen pedal commander it's a nice awd but it's my first automatic transmission vehicle and it is quite bland. I'll never buy a v6 vehicle again.
Hello 👋
I always look to fit those sport coupe seats in to my w204 2012.
Do you have any idea if i can fit them ?
Thx
+Mirea Georgian I don't see why they wouldn't fit in the floor bolts. But I know the seat has a bigger back which may hit the rear seats.... Then there is the whole airbag in the seat mechanisms that may not function as a rear side....ugh this is beginning to sound like a nightmare lol. But hey I have seen crazier!
come on, man ! what year is this c class? w204, w205 ? led intelligence light or halogen. so I know if I should follow this direction or not
2010 halogen
Hi, do you know how to adjust or align w203 2001 headlights? Thanks.
thank you so much man!
im thinking of swopping mine out but i have no clue why they made such a little bulb so hard to get out it just kills your finger tips.. whatever happened to the twist to get out ones..
Hahaha 😂 these are your screwed bulbs
Thanks for the video bamboo ass red. Currently aiming my headlights
Raymond, do you know where I can get a base replacement? Mine broke and now the bulb won’t stay cause there’s no base keeping it in place!☹️
Oh the actual base broke. You are better off ordering new headlights honestly. You can try to go to a junkyard and get what you need but then you will have to cut and solder in the new connection
Raymond Urias I think I will go with option 2, I will try to find it at a junk yard. I’m from Wisconsin, and I hope to find them around here somewhere . Wish me luck ! Keep up with the c300 videos. Mine is a 09 C300 4matic sport sedan.
osl77 gotta respect a man on a mission
Raymond, where did you get your eyebrow LED’s from? I looked in super bright LEDs website, but no morimoto 194 led. Or is it under a different name?
Thank you.
Where did you get your light up floor sills and the door logo lights that project the logo when door is open?
Please share links

Raymond Urias thank you sir. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, very informative. I need to rise my headlights.
my 2016 has L/R and Up/Down adjustment
Should have which model in the main title....
help!!! these bulbs are flickering in my 2011 c300 eyebrow! what do i do?
Great video!
Question for you! I have this lighting system on my 2015 GLK. Drivers side low beam headlamp was pointing low towards the ground. I removed the circle black cover as to gain access to the light. The bottom of the light is secured but the top is not and I am able to move the lamp around by hand. Easy fix or does the entire assembly need replacement?
Make sure the headlight housing is properly secured with all bolts on tight. Then check and make sure the bulb is seated correctly, it should not move. A 2015 should still be under warranty
@@RaymondUrias yes it is secured properly. The high beam and entire housing is secure. When I remove the circle cover to gain access to the low beam light I can reach inside and move the low beam assembly around. The bottom is secured but it seems the top is lose. That is why the bulb is moving and pointed downward.
Adam G it should not be doing that. You may need a new headlight or if you are lucky you can find the screw inside and tighten it
@@RaymondUrias thanks. The vehicle is still under warranty. Hopefully the intelligent lighting system is covered.
Great useful vid!
Maybe get a GLK350?
+dcharizard91 I was looking at them last night, it may work....
Do you have HID or LED lights? And what brand
Hid Morimoto
Thank you.
Great video Broo !! 👍🏼
+Snoopy4156 Thanks man!
Raymond Urias too bad we can’t get the 2012 led C lights 😭😭 those are so damn nice
+Snoopy4156 we can! If I can get them at a good price ill show you how
Raymond Urias wait wait we can how I’ll get some aftermarket if it’s possible I herd you had to get a new hood and stuff
+Snoopy4156 no new hood needed lol it's simple but pain in the ass with the resistors.
amazing thank you!
Where can i buy these bulbs ? Can you please tell me ?

Does your low beam headlights flicker? I installed some led and my lights flicker even after installing anti flicker canbus
Nope these do not flicker. They are morimoto HID
Raymond Urias did u have to reprogram the computers or anything like that. Mine is really sensitive. Mine starts flickering after like 5 minutes.
@@jithinmathew6326 no, did you use get the canbus version?
Raymond Urias I installed a anti flicker canbus on it.
@@jithinmathew6326 what year and make I'd you Mercedes
is the 550 the same.
Did you black out the housing on your headlights
Yes
How did you do it
Raymond..u are w204god
will Philips 127916000KB2 work with the parking light on c300 2011?
No
Are the headlights on bright or dim??
Low beam
Thanx
so i have the gle 350 and qhen my car is off and has been off for quite a while my car stsrts humming n the headlights start moving on thier own, WTF IS THAT? why does it do that?? anyone?? i should mention i have the 2018 GLE 350
I know its easy, but i don't have a wall!
I don't have a car😂😭
Could we align them by using obd2 device ? how
No, not possible
Newer headlights 2018+ have to be adjusted this way + computer adjustments for auto leveling
Would be working on w203
Mans had a stroke at 15:00
Thanks man
+Youssef Zaiter Glad it helped
Raymond Urias yes it helps me I have w203
what size allen key is used?
I think 10
@@RaymondUrias its 6mm allen key. I tried
s class
Please don't move away from Mercedes Benz, maybe a MB Van 😂
+Sohayel Nafi hahaha a van, that is never gonna happen.lol
I thought the mercedes has self leveling headlights?
Xenon headlights are self leveling on every brand per dot requirements. But c classes without the xenon bulbs have manual adjustment.
Stay with the c300
+Tim Swing Don't worry ill keep the car, but need a bigger one lol
Too much talking 😡
Thank you for your explanation and information
Do you have a link to your led handheld light stick ?
