Flexx Alexander flexx i have a question do they ship it to belgium?
I just got the same ones installed on my W204 not too long ago, absolutely love them. I personally know Chris from USR....he's a great dude!
discount code still works! 10% thats $40 savings, thanks flexx
😎🤙🏼
Boy!!! it looks so fucking amazing, the Led on the headlight matches the diamond grill
Love those Leds !!!
Love that diamond grill too!!!
Good work flex !!
So pumped I found this video, even more excited the code still works 2 years later saving me $50 (basically equals to free shipping)
The code is ongoing. It will never expire. Haha. Welcome.
@@TheFlexxGarage that’s awesome man. Love how detailed all your videos are. I will be ordering these lights next week for sure
c300 gang just bought this with the code!! saved me $50
Bro, that look sick. I'm jelly.
Those are dope brother! If I could double like this I would 🤙🏼 now I really want to upgrade my headlights to these!
I didn't like the diamond grill but the addition of those headlights with the diamond grill look so good. May add this to my C350.
Awesome tutorial, wife car looks sick👍. I have a 2010 W204 w/ a panoramic roof. I want to do a headlamps and change the AMG fog lights to the LED DRL for an update dated look. My question is will any of the updated light assembly’s fit?
Looks sick bro, makes it more aggru
Agreed
That Grill matches well with the projectors! Link for the grill?
Details are in the grille install video on my UA-cam channel.
I have a question Flexx. Do the seats and headrests also creak with you? What can you do about it. Where can I grease Can you also make a video about it? There are certainly many people with creaking driver's seat and headrests.
I'm sold on this. great vid. thanks for posting
Hey flexx, really quick question. Did you disconnect the battery prior to installing the headlights? I plan on installing Depo V1 headlights on my c350 and swapping the bulb for the Philips halogen bulb you previously suggested in other videos. Appreciate the content !
Do you have review on this car? Pros and cons? Is it reliable? I am a bit nervous as I am buying a 2014 C300 AMG package with 50,000 mile on it.
thanks flexx just purchased mine always extremely helpful !!!
Very useful I install it completely just following the steps here 👌🏼🔥💯
MrFelojoker can I do it if I have less rite now
MrFelojoker leds
Pretty cool, I'm watching from SA
Awesome video, the new lights looks amazing. Just picked up a 2012 c300 sport and this will be my first mod.. you got your self a new follower! I’m also from Mass..
Nice pick up and welcome. Don’t forget to take advantage of my discount code. Should help knock off a few bucks if your gonna get the lights.
@@TheFlexxGarage for sure, appreciate it. Stay blessed!
Subbed! I got my cla 250 pimped out cuz of ur vids 😅 pls keep goin bro, U killin it!!!
I love the grill!
Just purchased this. Question, do you like the HID upgrade better or LED? Thanks!
Led
Can you make a dedicated video on how to wire daytime running lights. For example my GLK 350 had stock halogen fog lamps but i want to upgrade to led drl. Can you make a vid?
Hey FLEXX I was wondering how do you adjust your lights up and down or right or left ?? You pointed it out in the video but didn’t explain witch one is witch and how to do it ?
Flexxx imma getting those cuz of ur video!!
Most of these upgrades say they don’t fit for Factory HID models. How do I know if I have HID or Halogen?
Thanks. Great video!
Hey flexx i got the usr from ebay was like 499 because the usr website showed not available. Do u recommend changing the bulbs coming with it to led or the philips u always use?
Brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You have help me so much thanks, where did you get the bottom front lip from? I will appreciate 🙏
eBay. It’s called the w204 godhand lip.
Do we have to replace the light bulb in order to get that LED WHITE BRIGHT LOOK
because I see that’s the light bulb look a little yellow
You can since it’s a halogen bulb inside. I replaced mine with low temp LED white bulbs.
Hey man I just bought a second hand C250 coupe that came with the Depo lights. The car is throwing headlight codes. Any advice how to clear them? Did you get any after installing these?
Hello!! I just bought 2013 c300 its hit in the front so I am replacing hood and bumper and grill and lights . Do you have any recommendations on where I can order a grill like your wife ? And hood ? For a good deal? Mine is red color . If you can help! I’d really appreciate it :)
My man, I could use your advice or help lol. I have a 2014 c300, all custom... Ironically my Benz is white to, but I have just bought OE replacement headlight assembly after a year of constant adjusting the LED bulbs i had to mount inside the unit's, with custom made clips that always come loose. I live in Massachusetts as well, I noticed the license plate. Maybe we can link up, my car is pretty dope and I've also done most of the work myself. Thanks, Scotty.
Finally ordered these 😍
Hope you used the discount code.
Flexx Alexander heck yea that discount came threw
Flexx Alexander I have a question does depo sell replacements for cars with the lighting package already or do they only sell projectors
Question more then comment, I have also a C300 sport 4matic, Avangarde, with the same headlight V1, I replaced the 9005 halogen with LED, not HID's, but Depot states that we should not replace the halogen bulbs? would like your impute about this subject.
Hey man, I own a 2013 C300 the Australian versions. It came with factory xenon lights, but they have gone dim now. Just wondering can I change the bulb in those too or just the aftermarket ones because I can’t find a video online for it.
My 2014 c250 sedan has a bulb for high beam and another one for low beam. Will I only need one bulb with these headlights.
That’s great 👍👍👍👍
Ordered these using your code over a year ago. USR told me I couldn’t use an LED but I refuse to believe it so I went for it anyways. Did you ever try an LED in these or kept it stock halogen?
I’m not sure. Probably. If it takes a normal halogen bulb, then an led bulb will fit but do at your own risk.
Honestly, I don’t even remember if I upgraded the bulb. It’s been like 5 years and that cars been long gone.
LED'S will not work with XENON HID lighting systems. It's a hit and miss, mostly miss. I had to learn that the hard way when I bought a c350. I mod all my lighting on any vehicle I purchase. The c350 was the 1st auto I ran into XENON and it took me for a ride. After making a ton of purchases (which I ended up returning 90% of em) in new lighting I learned XENON is a whole beast of it own. You must buy resistors to run LED'S on it's system. After doing alot of research, moding an xenon system is tricky and it's not a lot of aftermarket out there geared towards it. Some aftermarket companies aren't even thoroughly knowledgeable about it. I learned to take that into account when shopping for a vehicle now. Although it's said that XENON is a great lighting system to have overall it's just not popular.
First come , great bro
Hey! I live in Louisiana and would love to do the up graded headlights for my C250. I just wouldn’t know who would be able to do such a job. Would you have in recommendations for the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area?
Thank You flexx this.is my project next week . great video
Really important question 🙋♂️ but can you tell me how did you mount your front license plate in the middle of your car? Tried to find videos about it but no luck. Thank you in advance
1. That’s not that important. Lol. Your car is not gonna break down cause of it.
2. You buy a license plate plastic bracket from Mercedes, mount it to the front bumper, and then put your plate on. Mine came from the factory this way.
@@TheFlexxGarageappreciate it bro
They are currently out of stock... would love to know if USR is bringing them back.
im looking to buy a set too. waiting for them to be in stock again...
Have you bought them? If so, have you experienced any issues or defects??
are there any side effects after 4 years of use?
Loss of focus
Clouding up on the surface overtime or anything negative?
Nope. Zero
If I used LED 9005 bulbs instead of the halogens bulbs, would I have to take off the lid permanently?
This is still on market for sale? I just got a 2012 C300 sport and I would like to have one of those.
As mentioned in the video, link is in the video description.
Hi. Flex. Great video. I am 63 and just got into a 2014 facelift c300. Noticed right away that night visibility is a serious issue. My 2007 Caddy lit the road up for me. The Benz feels like I am driving in the dark. Is this upgrade the way to go, to give me improved visibility? My cClass is very basic as far as options go and the lights are definitely not xenons. Improved cosmetics are always a bonus but this is all about safety at night for me. Btw - is there an upgrade for better fog lights? Again my old Caddy really lit the pavement up in front of me and always made me feel like I could see what was going on.
Keep up the good work!
Quite an old video, but do you mind me asking from where did you get the front bumper without the headlight washer system and caps? Or did it come out of factory like that?
It’s a stock bumper that came with the car.
Omg that grille? 😍
I hope you’re still answering questions on this video... I was looking for the same thing for the W205 version but I don’t see it on USR website... Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated thank you
Hey did you ever find out? Looking to put these on my 2016 too 😅
What bulbs did u use? Would leds work?
My mother is looking to upgrade to this on her ‘13 c350 with factory halogen.
Will it be plug and play? Also, how’s the output of the projectors?
All your questions were already answered in the video.
Hello flexx, do you recomend any LED bulbs for the low beams for the USR version? If so, do you have any link where I can purchase them? Thank you so much.
they have an upgrade at checkout for an extra $10 if you want the super white version
Flex!!! I bought these lights for my 2014 C300 and I got a slight flicker in my driver side DRL. Any recommendations on how to fix?
You need to contact USR for support. Somethings not right. Could be defective or something wrong with the wiring.
Did you have to do any specific wiring/fuse change to get the switch between DRL and signal lights? Mine only lights up for signal turns
Nope. Everything shown in the video is what was done. If you need tech support, contact USR directly. It’s their product and they can help you solve your issue.
do you need any type of adapter to convert from stock to LED?
Did u put silicone too on them to seal better ?
Beautiful car
do i need the side light for the high beams because i don’t see a light in there , mine just came in
Hi ! Can I install those headligths on my 2014 Mercedez ML350 ? where I can buy it? Thanks
Hey flexx, do these headlights need a ballast?
Everything is in the video that’s part of the install.
Hey just wondering, yesterday I installed Spec D headlights and the led strip isn't as bright as it should be and it's throwing codes for the blinkers and stuff, the blinkers will work for about 15 seconds and then shut off and won't work until I restart the car, any solutions
Hey flexx where you bought your front lip? I really need them for my c350!
eBay. Just search w204 black godhand splitter
Ik it says w204 but is it compatible with the 2009 because title says 2012+ and would it look dumb without a facelift?
Damn definitely wanna get me some, so expensive tho $900😭 but worth it
People forget these Cost less than replacement oem headlights. Plus after upgrading, you can sell your old headlights and easily make a few hundred bucks back.
So these don’t need to go to the dealer to be programmed? My stock halogens took a poop and imma just upgrade to these
As mentioned in the video, they are plug and play. There’s no programming for halogen headlights.
what's the fitment mate 10 pin or 14 pin connectors? cheers
Was that the smoke housing or the chrome, somehow I can’t find the DRL switchback in the chrome housing style, they only have the smoke. Can you help?
Unique style racing only made 1 version. The one shown in the video. If you have more questions, you need to contact them for support and they can answer your questions.

@@TheFlexxGarage just to make sure that was the black housing shown in the video?
mano, those are noice!!!
For those upgrades do we need to hot wire/ run a wire to the fuse box ?
Everything is in the video. If you don’t see something, then it’s not needed. Can’t get any easier than that.
Hai buddy! I was wondering if you know where i could get similar headlights for a CLA 180
Hello Flexx, do you have the option to leave the headlight DLR unplugged?
Just don’t run the wire to the fuse.
Hi Alexander
Do you know where i cand find this headlights ? Since, the company that you say does not have stock from this item now ,
Thank you
There's a few on ebay but I don't know about them and if they have warranties. USR said the W204 headlights should be available again around August 1.
the headlights are still working until now?
Hey i have the same ones but my lights dont have the daylight connected. Is this a problem or does it work fine like this?
I live in Germany and dont want to risk that :D
The daylight running lights is an option. It’s not needed.
I replaced a broken one from my c300 2012 but my car doesnt want to start anymore...whats the problem you think?
Whoever installed the headlight
Does replacing a headlight assembly void any factory warranty?
Probably. You gotta check with the warranty people. Usually installing any aftermarket parts voids a warranty unless it’s a body part that has no connection to the electrical or mechanical parts of the car.
Can you put LED bulbs in these headlights or bulbs only? I like the blue color of the H7 LED bulbs
You can put whatever you want. But you void the warranty if you upgrade to anything besides halogen bulbs.
@@TheFlexxGarage Is their such a low beam bulb that's halogen but shines bright like an LED? I just recently purchased my first Benz C300. It's a 2016. Any advice would be great and really appreciated. Thank you and great videos.
Hey flex do you have any idea abou c300 2012 4 matic if i disable the esp does the 4matic disable or still enabled
hi, how can i keep the daytime running lights on at night? Please
I have a 2017 Mercedes CLA 250, do you ha w any links so I can upgrade my headlights?
USR doesn’t support cla
Dude that grill at 0:16. Where did you get that and does it come for the C250?
Yeah, I have same grille on my w204.
If I have leds rite now will they work with leds
Does the link headlight include both or just one..because it says headlight not headlights?
Both. If you have questions, just email them and ask.
Can you use HID bulbs with these?
Will this fit on a c63?
If only it had sequential indicators, would of been perfect.
hello flexx i have w204 2011 model and i cant use my drl lights at night.when i use headlights, drl light automaticlly turns off. how can use it at night,and how can i use it with headlights too. i hope u can answer as soon as possible thank you
It’s set that way by mercedes. Every country has different laws. Some countries don’t allow DRL to be on at night.
The headlights are nice but congratulations on having such a beautiful wife!
Hello Flexx will this fit on a C300 2016 ? Thank you 😊
Heck no. Lol. It’s not even the same shape
Thank you Flexx. Could you recommend me one ? Appreciated
hey i have a question do those headlights work the hi beam because i bought two pairs of headlight and the hi beam doesn't work for me and the signals don't work properly thanks for help me.
Of course they work the the high beams. Not sure what headlights you bought but I never heard of USR headlights not working like you mentioned.
Hey bro. You got a link for the grill?
if the grill is still available for sale, the link should be in my w204 diamond grille video.
Is condensation an issue with these headlights??
No
When I go to order headlight is says do I want it with or without module.
I’m not sure what that means, do you know ?
No clue. I would recommend you contact them and ask.
Website says Out of Stock 😢
Mercedes Benz c300 4matic 2015 Remplazar headlight .?
Where’s the link to order them ?
