The DDM kit is digital. Since I always read digital was supposed to be "plug and play".

My dealer wanted too much $$$ for Xenon=present. Cancellers are only $20.

kits are a joke.
Your headlight bucket and lens were not designed for them and thus the reason they only light up the road for 10 feet in front of the car.
A flashlight strapped to the hood would be a better driving light.
ALL SHOW AND NO GO.

no need for error eliminators with the xenon setting.

i used the vvme's till a week ago when one of the ballast blew. the shop blamed it on the eagle eye headlights i bought who knows if its true.

since i drove around with one 35w and one 55w, and no shops around carries 55w, i decided to swap both to 35w. apparently they are made by bosch with lifetime warranty.

I own a car with OEM Bi-Xenons and I have a 55w HID kit in my C230. The C230's beam pattern is not as sharp, obviously, but what you said in your post is complete . The C230 held onto the factory pattern, including forward range and width. Very, very nice illumination.

thanks guys. sorry for all the questions, but i just want to see what my options are. thanks.
dude, no need to get xenon set to present... the error cancelers help to delete the wrong infor from ur car computer (can-bus system) and the problem of flickering. some aftermarket HID bulbs are incompatible to your stock bulbs so the computer will sent out error message and your bulbs flicker....

just install this vvme error cancellers for HID (2 pieces) ...it is plug-and-play,very cheap and very easy to install as to the instructions...
