Do your research and go to the web site and read the specs. They are Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge low/high beam headlamps and they are standard.

Just got my 2007 S550 AMG

The pics aren't that good since it's raining outside. I'll post more pics when the rain stops.

2/28 - more pics added, but still an ugly week.

Congrats on your new White S550 AMG sport that is the exact car I want to order please post more pictures as soon as you can I would love to see more exterior pics. how do you like your color combo?and have you had good feed back from others!

I think white with the black interior on a AMG is the way to go or Black Black if you do not mind High maintenance

Sometimes it's just the camera. I know that when I took a picture of my S-500's headlamps, with the dipped beams on, the picture came out with a yellowish white hue to the lights, not the blue that you normally see.

That's what I was thinking. And sometimes I see halogen headlights with a bluish hue.

that does usually happen. I photograph cars for ebay at a Jaguar dealer, and when I snap a picture of the headlamps I have to get it when they are first turned on to catch the deeper blue color.

Did you consider the Bentley Flying Spur, Did you Drive the Flying Spur if so how did compare to the S550 sport. I know its not fair to compare a flying spur to $190000 vs 100000

Are you happy with the white color S550 sport AMG how do you think it compares to black sport

I think your white S550 sport looks great , I would love to see some clear pics that really show off your new S550 if you get time to take them you can email them to me at brian@vecmar.com

Thanks alot enjoy your new ride, you must be one of the first S550 sports in white in the U.S.

Thanks,

AMGBENZ: i'm hijacking a little, but if you're able to pick up Car Magazine for March 2006 where you are there, is a comparison between the Flying Spur and the S550 (and the RR). In short, the S won In every objective criteria at least. They felt the Spur's interior is more special feeling (of course) but that's it.

anyway, here's a silver S350L sitting on the lot in Kuala Lumpur - now sold (listed at RM998k specced out - that's US$270k thanks to the crazy taxes):

IluvS500: you must remember they are the top of the range around here - though people don't expect huge engine power they do expect everything else for their US$270k

Sweet rides!

I love that shot. Can you take side profile shot of the S-class and CLS next to each other. I would like to see how the S-class looks from a straight side shot.
