Helped someone swap out W210 OEM's for eBay aftermarkets. Came with HID's for somewhere around $300? They worked great, had the HID cutoff and everything.

The beam pattern wasn't so great, however. Drastic improvement, but not nearly as consistent and precise as a Bosch unit.

I think it also caused some problems with the headlamp circuitry, not properly detecting the ballast as a lamp and reporting a headlamp out.
