I sent him an email. They are good kits, I have a couple friends that have his kits. Top quality stuff. I'm all about saving mioney though
if we can get them cheaper through Mr Jung I'm all for it. I'm still curious though how cheap my contact in San Fran can get them. But I'm sure we will go with the cheaper seller.

I think the D2S bulb is used for a non-projector housing like the non bi-xenoned housings while the D2R is for the projector housing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Brabus: Could you explain the way you installed the xenon kits you have done. I think it is as simple as basically putting the ballst inbetween the 12v power connecter and the bulb right?

I wonder if you can replace the whole headlight housing with the MY03 style (with projectors), and how much would that be.

HELP with HID Installation
Just received a set of Stage II kit from Hids4less and searched last night to see any installation instruction. I found the one Young posted in 3/30/02 but my wiring is different than his. My came with a resistor with 4 wires. 2 of them I couldn't figured out where to connect to. ( I don't have igniter box like the one in archive) I'd seen on BMW board that you can make a sand block type resistor to eliminate the low beam warning light. Will this work for My C320 with factory Halogen light? Thanks in Advance

Planning to ask my dealer how much a retrofit would cost but I'm not holding my breath - the answer will probably take it away.

ALSO, for the rest of you. I wouldnt recommend installing it yourself. Go to some audio/ stereo shop. Lots of things can go wrong. Ive seen one car that all the electronics went dead.

I wish I could help you. A lot of people compained about the HID4less kits. They are confusing. Can you take a pic of it and maybe I can tell you what goes where. I can look at my kit and see. Lucky for me, all my lines just snaped into place and all the connectors were different and colored so you couldnt possibly make any mistake. I think I got the HID kit for dummies. LOL!

That's probably a relay+resistor, not just a resistor - resistors have 2 wires (unless it's a resistor matrix, which doesn't make any sense in this case). Check hid4less.com site - there should be some instructions on how to hook up the relay unit.

Tim: add me to the list. That misterjung kit also looks promising.

Just give us an update whenever your friend gets the pricing info. I have an 2000 S430. According to Jung's site, it seems that they are recommending the 7000k. Some of the folks here seem to prefer the 6000k. Decisions...decisions.... What's the OEM color for the S-class, anyone know?
