This is not meant to be a tutorial but rather a simple documentation of a successful retrofit of Sprinter halogen headlight assemblies. I would actually go as far to dissuade you from attempting this if you do not work with your hands a lot, or have the necessary tools, or a basic understanding of 12volts (because polarity matters). That being said, I will answer any questions if asked.
However, I will say now that all the pain and aggravation of executing this mod was well worth it because I can actually phacken see down the road now! FAR down the road and so much more on both sides. The halogens were terrible (I recently acquired this van). For those of you without factory HID's, I don't know how you can drive this van at night.
I didn’t know wtf I was doing and either had to think a long while about the end assembly in reference for the next step, and/or just made it up as I went along. There were several reasons for my approach to making each modification, some were well thought out, and some shortsighted and I was pretty stressed out about every step. But if you must have retrofit HID’s, practice on somebody elses vehicle first before performing on your own. Im only half kidding.
But, if you too want half a chance at avoiding catastrophe at night and are intent to make retrofit a reality, you should watch a lot of youtube on the subject, and then find and watch even more reference material - this cannot be understated and will make your experience much more enjoyable.
