Replacing low beams with led on 2016 SL

How do you go about replacing the low beams with leds on a 2016 SL. Is there a video available or a step by step procedure. I do not want to remove the bumper.

Take off the wheel, the wheel well liner clips, and then you should have access to the headlights.

I didn't take my wheel well off. Just turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to change the left headlight, etc. there's 3 push clips I popped out & then just pushed the liner to the side & had access to the headlight bulb. I used the opt7 flux beams & had to install the polarity adapters that came w it. It's just an extra wire, nothing major.

Same here. I changed out my lights yesterday. All I did was turn the wheel and remove the wheel well clips. Took 10 mins total.

With HID's, you get what you pay for. Go for a good set. I haven't personally tried these, but I would recommend going with the Morimotos. Also, you linked an H3 bulb, make sure to get the H11. And 3K is yellow, go for either 5k or 6k.
