Hello, i have a 2003 slk 230 kompressor and i want to get aftermarket hesdlight housing like this: https://a.co/d/5BfszYP

will this work on my car?

#

it says compatible with factory halogen lights, not HID… idk what i have or how to check

Can you pull out one of your headlight bulbs and post a picture? Then we can tell. Or if you e ever replaced a headlight bulb and it was less than $20 then you have halogens.

It should plug and play if its for your model. Be forewarned that the light output of aftermarket headlight housings is usually trash. Not always, but often, esp for ebay/Amazon purchased housings.
There are better options to upgrade your lighting but it will require opening up your headlight housing, risking ruining the only housing you currently have.

If you do buy this aftermarket set, Id strongly suggest you test your skill at doing a retrofit.

^^^^yep, that. Don’t do anything destructive in the install process, and hang on to your factory headlights just in case you want or need to swap them back in.

I highly recommend doing the supercharger pulley. $100 and a whole lotta power

does mine natural aspirated or supercharge

tight karma
#

Supercharged

#

If you do an intake you can hear it

#

I just love the platform and it's reliable as hell

Smaller pulley ratio, supercharger spins faster, more boost, more power

#

and cold air intake?

tight karma
#

$100 for 30ish hp

#

Not much but you need to make an adapter for the throttle body

#

I did it with a $8 PVC cap
