2011 c63 HID upgrade headlights

so i just bought a c63 it came with halogen headlights.

does anyone sell a direct plug and play hid kit for the bulbs?

i have seen peoples upgrade where they have to drill the dust cap and cannot use the original bulb holder. they have to make the bulb fit in the hole they make in the headlight dustcap.

I dont mind making a hole in the dustcap for the wires to feed through but i would like the hid bulb o sit in the original bulb holder and held in place like original halogen bulb?????

If would try and fit slim style ballasts into the headlight housings, if they don't fit, then just purchase as extra set of dust caps and drill away.

On my previous C55, I was able to do put everything inside and close it up without drilling. In the C63, it looks like the housings are a bit smaller though. Good luck.

All of em will require you to drill hole to get the wiring through. Mine come with rubber grommets that you can fix on to keep it sealed in and clean looking.


Here's a video one of our customers made installing on a w204: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVw1XsDFDUw
