Slim HID from ebay on a 02MCS, <$100

Hi guys,
I thought you might be interested by this.
I bought about a month ago an Ultra Slim HID Xenon kit to retrofit on my 02MCS. Because in 2002 the hallogen and Xenon head light shared the same casing it was no problem at all. Just adjust the higth, it will be perfect. Installation time was about:1-1 1/2 hr. Will post some pix when I find out how I can resize them. Enjoy.
Frenchy.
