you HAVE TO set to 'xenon present' BEFORE the mod .. i got it done at mercedes benz on boundary for about 60 bucks. the service manager there told me that it doesn't work on the newer models .. so it's best if you brang your car there before doing anything. they will check if your car is compatible for free and then if you want to go ahead with it, they'll charge you the money.

Whoa, 60 bucks? I got mine done for free. In any event, all cars should have the xenon present setting. As all cars have the xenon or halogen options and without it, there will be errors even on OEM Xenons.

Other than REV, there's deutschtech motorsports, and I think Flying Tiger in Richmond. They both do a good job, but are more expensive than others.

REV is a good place to visit but certainly not the best out there.

Out of curiousity which install shop do you guys use? I was recommended to use Garage5 down in Richmond. Where do you guys go to install your mods?

Always go to Boundary Road, and get to know some of the advisors.
