Thanks to everyone. As long as the weather is nice out I am going to give it a shot in the morning. Looks pretty easy really. The CD has a great dash with near perfect burlwood trim. Finding matching burlwood pieces for the center console and heater control should be fun........ Started changing the 300D over to the H4 Euro headlights today as well. I found the plugs are different. Does anyone know if I can just swap out plugs from car to car or if there is anything else that goes with the Euro lights(relays or the like) that might make the swap harder than it looks?
