Default Anybody used Mercedes projectors?

I have a pair of headlights from a C230 that have projectors and was wondering if anyone has used mercedes projectors for a conversion? Thoughts or comments?

In today's standard the euro projectors are generally inferior to the japanese parts. People get better results from using Lexus, infinity projectors than the hella or valeos that are commonly found in mercedes and other euro cars. Check hidplanet.com/forums there is a lot of useful information on there.

Agree. The Hella, Bosch, and Valeos projectors were once dominant projectors used on BMW, MB, and Audi. The Japanese uses Koito and Stanley projectors which are a lot better due to the internal design of the projector. There are some comparison tests done on hidplanet/forums showing the light output. Check it out.
