Thanks!

Eventually I plan on Dark Rims and Dark Lettering on my car. Since my grill and muffler are dark...I was leaning towards the dark to fit the theme.

I'll think on it...

Very Nice.

I've been browsing the XTC site recently and theres some nice mods at nice prices.

Anyone have any idea of the performance of these lights compared to stock? Would be tempted by the clear/chrome lights...only works out at £200(ish).

Was also tempted by the Chrome Roll bars at £115.

My understanding from what I have read is that you loose your ability to use your high beam with some of the lights out there on the market.

If this is big deal to you, you may want to look into other lights.

I seldom if ever use my bright lights and I do lots of night driving. So it is not a big issue to me.

If you loose your bright lights, you can always use the added use of your Aux driving lights. Mine are as bright or brighter than my High Beams. LOL

I am not impressed with my stock headlight either, Looks or performance, so I am looking real seriously at getting these.

Does anybody have the black set fitted to a black car. I would like to see a picture of them installed and with just the Angels on.

Default Black Projector Halo Lights...

First post on here (have been on Benzworld.com forever - but recently bought an SLK).

I just ordered my Black Projector Halos and have photoshopped them into my SLK (first pic) they should be here any day...

Also - I've attached a photo of the Black on a Black SLK (as requested, looks sweet! Second pic)...

So we have a horizontal elipse (the driving lights), a diagonal elipse (the E-Class effect), three different size circles and an orange slice turn signal.

So much going on there.

In the light, they look cute, cute, cute! In the dark, they make it look like it's a French car. Still cute, but with a bit of a lot going on.

Eliminating the little top circle woudl make them look a lot meaner, I think.

I'll have to reserve my judgement until I see it in the flesh, as pictures can be misleading without seeing it in the proper depth.

My only gripe with these that is preventing me from jumping on them is that the "angel eyes" don't light fully all the way around, with the rather unslightly tab showing.. makes it look a bit tacky in my opinion. I wish there was one that lit the whole halo
