Can I fit LED headlights to my Mercedes SL350?
The headlights on my 2003 Mercedes SL350 seem dim in comparison with the headlights of modern cars. Is it possible to convert them to LED units and if so, what suitable products are available?

LED conversions are available for some cars, but it is model-specific and depends on the age of the original vehicle. Newer vehicles that were not offered with LED lights may be more problematic, as the new lights will need to be wired in as well as programed into the vehicle's systems.
You may find it easier and cheaper to replace the existing bulbs. We would suggest Osram Night Breakers or Phillips RacingVision bulbs which offer superior brightness to standard bulbs.

Looks good and make you look rich. 2006 models with increased power vastly better cars. 388hp 500SL plenty fast enough and makes a nice noise.
