Advans, looks very good. Take another pic from further away with all the lights on. I'm curious to see how they look from an "oncoming traffic" perspective. Either way, looks very nice and looks like they match your HID's well.
Hmmm...maybe I need to start my lighting projects and stop being so lazy...LOL.

Perfecto!
matches great man, you have 8000k hid right? they say 8000k looks more deep blue, i think it looks perfectly crisp clean WHITE with a hint of blue. good match man love it

25 Watt resistors are an overkill here as the original bulb is rated at 5 Watts. Would be enough to get 30 Ohm / 10 Watt resistors in aluminum heat sink housing - more compact and draw less current than the 25 Ohm ones.
Can be ordered from Mouser Electronics, http://www.mouser.com. P/N 284-HS10-30F.

If it happened as the person described, then he must not have done it properly. Either the resistance was wrong (25 Ohms would get you 5.76Watts - need to use 30 or 35 Ohm), or the resistors were mounted in a tight space so they got overheated and the solder points melted. You have to mount these resistors to make sure the heat can dissipate freely.
Again, 30Ohm/10W resistors are all that is needed here.

2002 C230 coupe , NOt THE AVATAR!!
Hid ! City Light Install!! Picture!!! (done At Carlab)
better than my old one lot lot more
hella far range!!!
blue city light!!
close up city light pics
with HID on
side view inside my garage
that's how a pro install it
a confusing pics, but that's a hole been drilled thru the light cap if u look closely....
YUP THX DARWIN!! REMEMBER TO SHOW THE FINGER TO THE INSPECTOR WITH A STUPID PRUIS!!!
