In adding HID's to the euro housings, does the lens pattern etched in the glass scatter the HID beam? Any complaints from oncoming drivers at night?

Nice mods! I like the black grill too.

What's a suede airbag? Does it feel better on baby-soft facial skin when it deploys?

The airbag cover itself will be recovered in suede to match my brabus suede steering wheel.

I used a flexible agent in the primer and paint to make it flexible, so rocks don't generally chip it, the rocks merely kinda bounce off it.

Find me a Supercharger or tubokit that isn't over $3000 uninstalled and I'll check into it.

lens pattern does nto glare at other drivers, and lights up the road well. The w140 s class with hid from the factory has etched glass too like my euro's.

Works nicely.

Ashman,

Your car took my breath away!

WOW.

I was wondering about your HID's...

I am dreaming about a set for my H4's as well. I know that 2phast has done them on his 190 so I know it can be done.

What candle power are they? Aftermarket or OEM?

Did you fasten your ballasts to the back of the headlamp housing?

Did you use relays to run to the alternator?

Keep up the good work on the pics too, it helps with my daydreaming!

Thanks for making those 124's look so damn good!

Take care,

Mike McKinney

my kit is hella ballasts and 600k bulbs. no need to run relays, it taps intot he stock h4 connector for power, and high beam flashing works when the lights are off.
