[@kamf9817]

Hey flexx, really quick question. Did you disconnect the battery prior to installing the headlights? I plan on installing Depo V1 headlights on my c350 and swapping the bulb for the Philips halogen bulb you previously suggested in other videos. Appreciate the content !

Omg that grille? 😍

Hey FLEXX I was wondering how do you adjust your lights up and down or right or left ?? You pointed it out in the video but didn’t explain witch one is witch and how to do it ?

Most of these upgrades say they don’t fit for Factory HID models. How do I know if I have HID or Halogen? Thanks. Great video!

[@user-em6mc7mp9k]

Can you make a dedicated video on how to wire daytime running lights. For example my GLK 350 had stock halogen fog lamps but i want to upgrade to led drl. Can you make a vid?

[@yns7425]

I have a question Flexx. Do the seats and headrests also creak with you? What can you do about it. Where can I grease Can you also make a video about it? There are certainly many people with creaking driver's seat and headrests.

[@TheCloser2023]

My man, I could use your advice or help lol. I have a 2014 c300, all custom... Ironically my Benz is white to, but I have just bought OE replacement headlight assembly after a year of constant adjusting the LED bulbs i had to mount inside the unit's, with custom made clips that always come loose. I live in Massachusetts as well, I noticed the license plate. Maybe we can link up, my car is pretty dope and I've also done most of the work myself. Thanks, Scotty.

[@daryls357]

Hey man I just bought a second hand C250 coupe that came with the Depo lights. The car is throwing headlight codes. Any advice how to clear them? Did you get any after installing these?

[@moeyishak1618]

Hey man, I own a 2013 C300 the Australian versions. It came with factory xenon lights, but they have gone dim now. Just wondering can I change the bulb in those too or just the aftermarket ones because I can’t find a video online for it.

[@oneemotiva4975]

Question more then comment, I have also a C300 sport 4matic, Avangarde, with the same headlight V1, I replaced the 9005 halogen with LED, not HID's, but Depot states that we should not replace the halogen bulbs? would like your impute about this subject.

[@burjanroli98]

This headlight fit to Wagon (S204 T-modell) ? Thank you!! Pls answer

[@jeremiahhahn5107]

Damn definitely wanna get me some, so expensive tho $900😭 but worth it

People forget these Cost less than replacement oem headlights. Plus after upgrading, you can sell your old headlights and easily make a few hundred bucks back.

Ik it says w204 but is it compatible with the 2009 because title says 2012+ and would it look dumb without a facelift?

Hey just wondering, yesterday I installed Spec D headlights and the led strip isn't as bright as it should be and it's throwing codes for the blinkers and stuff, the blinkers will work for about 15 seconds and then shut off and won't work until I restart the car, any solutions

[@richarddeans3134]

My 2014 c250 sedan has a bulb for high beam and another one for low beam. Will I only need one bulb with these headlights.

[@Thatdude305]

If I used LED 9005 bulbs instead of the halogens bulbs, would I have to take off the lid permanently?

Hello flexx, do you recomend any LED bulbs for the low beams for the USR version? If so, do you have any link where I can purchase them? Thank you so much.

[@lexanink]

Quite an old video, but do you mind me asking from where did you get the front bumper without the headlight washer system and caps? Or did it come out of factory like that?

It’s a stock bumper that came with the car.

[@MafiaGaming-mh7rw]

Did you have to do any specific wiring/fuse change to get the switch between DRL and signal lights? Mine only lights up for signal turns

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nope. Everything shown in the video is what was done. If you need tech support, contact USR directly. It’s their product and they can help you solve your issue.

[@henricelestine6855]

Flex!!! I bought these lights for my 2014 C300 and I got a slight flicker in my driver side DRL. Any recommendations on how to fix?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You need to contact USR for support. Somethings not right. Could be defective or something wrong with the wiring.

[@cuneytcinar2406]

the headlights are still working until now?

[@janellemichelle8451]

If I have leds rite now will they work with leds

[@higherconsciousnessmeditat6861]

Can you use HID bulbs with these?

[@NicMars-uj8ns]

Ordered these using your code over a year ago. USR told me I couldn’t use an LED but I refuse to believe it so I went for it anyways. Did you ever try an LED in these or kept it stock halogen?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I’m not sure. Probably. If it takes a normal halogen bulb, then an led bulb will fit but do at your own risk. Honestly, I don’t even remember if I upgraded the bulb. It’s been like 5 years and that cars been long gone.

[@megatron3]

LED'S will not work with XENON HID lighting systems. It's a hit and miss, mostly miss. I had to learn that the hard way when I bought a c350. I mod all my lighting on any vehicle I purchase. The c350 was the 1st auto I ran into XENON and it took me for a ride. After making a ton of purchases (which I ended up returning 90% of em) in new lighting I learned XENON is a whole beast of it own. You must buy resistors to run LED'S on it's system. After doing alot of research, moding an xenon system is tricky and it's not a lot of aftermarket out there geared towards it. Some aftermarket companies aren't even thoroughly knowledgeable about it. I learned to take that into account when shopping for a vehicle now. Although it's said that XENON is a great lighting system to have overall it's just not popular.

hi, how can i keep the daytime running lights on at night? Please

[@hagengocht3891]

Hi. Flex. Great video. I am 63 and just got into a 2014 facelift c300. Noticed right away that night visibility is a serious issue. My 2007 Caddy lit the road up for me. The Benz feels like I am driving in the dark. Is this upgrade the way to go, to give me improved visibility? My cClass is very basic as far as options go and the lights are definitely not xenons. Improved cosmetics are always a bonus but this is all about safety at night for me. Btw - is there an upgrade for better fog lights? Again my old Caddy really lit the pavement up in front of me and always made me feel like I could see what was going on. Keep up the good work!

Really important question 🙋‍♂️ but can you tell me how did you mount your front license plate in the middle of your car? Tried to find videos about it but no luck. Thank you in advance

1. That’s not that important. Lol. Your car is not gonna break down cause of it. 2. You buy a license plate plastic bracket from Mercedes, mount it to the front bumper, and then put your plate on. Mine came from the factory this way.

Does replacing a headlight assembly void any factory warranty?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Probably. You gotta check with the warranty people. Usually installing any aftermarket parts voids a warranty unless it’s a body part that has no connection to the electrical or mechanical parts of the car.
