    SL280 to SL55 conversion

    Hi, I don't usually post much on this site but I see there are a lot of fellow-minded people who like to "have a go" at making their Mercedes a bit different from the rest. I thought I would document as much as possible the process of transplanting an AMG 55 engine into my 2000 R129 SL280 V6...

    After market hid conversion kits

    I bought my E320 CDI a couple of months ago and the previous owner had fitted an HID kit to the dip headlights. The light of them is excellent:D Unfortunately I think this plonker has either fitted the wrong option lights for my car or hasn't wired them up correctly:fail The dip lights...

    What is needed for the C43 to C55 conversion?

    I've threatened to do the conversion on my previous C43's but neither of them were in the cracking condition this one is in, so I'm going to seriously look into doing it with this one. The obvious option is to buy a rusty W210 E55 and plunder it for parts. Or, correct me if I'm wrong, I'll...

    LED side light conversion info required.

    This is my second request for any info on replacing the front side lights on my C320 CDI Sport W204. I have not had a single response on my earlier request so I am assuming it is not a mod being carried out by others. So if nobody can help with this maybe you can help with letting me know if...
