Good video and inform.Your idea is nice, as I used to think the same that I have done something better in my w211, but if you look above the cutting line of light, you will see the branches of trees, even the roof of a tall building, this with certain lamps, the original ones are not visible. This is incorrectly reflecting light and it can be obtained not from the quality of the ice lappa, but from the position inside the headlight where it scatters it. Sometimes dependence on the condition of the headlight can also occur, but in this case it is probably the lights. Now I'm back with halogen but I'm not sure if with HID it won't be a compromise option. Unfortunately, one has to go the hard way to find out
Smart observation. Your comment mirrors what I mentioned in the video. The beam pattern for retrofitted LEDs won't be identical to that of the OEM halogen. However for high beam this is less of an issue. As long as visibility of the road is the same of better, other drivers won't be adversary affected because you will switch them off for on-coming traffic.
My first headlight modification was W5W LEDs. They were canbus safe but after a few weeks they started flickering and one of the bulbs stopped working. I didn’t feel confident about the replacements that came across and I accepted that halogen bulbs can never be as white as LEDs. My solution was to entirely remove the parking lights and change the settings in the onboard computer for the low beams to always be on. Thanks to upgrading them to newer and white xenon bulbs, they are whiter and better DTRLs than the parking lights were :)

Awesome got 04 W211 got a steal with the Sylvania red pack from auto zone H7 and the H11 going to see how they are first.

I hear that mine are all halogen no xenon going to try them when amazon gets stock back great video 👍
Gonna have to try them do your H11 yet?
Yes. They are white LEDs and have resistors. I installed them 3 months ago and so far have not experienced any issues.
