like I said above. JT's fine. there were no passengers. it actually happened about a month ago, so insurance has already taken care of everything. most likely the HID shorted out and caught on fire after he hit some debris (blown out tires maybe) on the freeway.

that's what we think started the fire. he had both HID kit for headlights and the fogs. I believe they were McCulloch HID kits.

My dealer said that HIDs in the existing fog light assembly is a bad idea because of the type of plastic surround used down there.

Oh my God. Pics came thru now. You're right AndySays...I definitely didn't want to see these pics. Truly a major loss to the W203 community. What a nice car it was. A moment of silence.....
