S320 Headlight upgrade (2003+)

[Chas]

I have spoken to these people in Germany -Ernst-Car-Design, Birkenstr. 37-39, 50374 Erftstadt, Germany Tel.: 0049/2235/955743 http://www.ernstcardesign.de/ you can download various MB mp3 engine sound files here too http://www.ernstcardesign.de/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,72/func,select/id,1/ (good English..probably better than mine being a Scot )
and they are confident these clear projector headlights will fit and no additional wiring is required.

They are made in Germany with a 2 year guarrantee.
I think these are my best option, having trawled the net for months avoiding dodgy non european ones.
The MB OEM ones require rewiring and with labour=£1150, and quite frankly MB local dealers aren't interested, they would rather I bought a new car .
So if I can install these myself (6 pin pug and play) I think this is my last hope of an upgrade without the wife whining .

Anyone any experience with these folks in Germany, or any comments before I take the plunge.... I am no technical genius but good at DIY so i should manage ok .........with help from folks here :Oops:

I think I may have to remove the front bumper, to install headlights. I can only see 4 screws, 2 on bottom and one either side. Is this easy enough, are the headlamp washers going to present a problem?
