I've searched the thread's but couldn't find anything specific to what I need. Does anybody know a shop that sells and can install HID foglights for my 2005 C230? Preferably in OC, but LA will work too.

 

install it urself
it's only gonna take you 10-15 mins

 

I've tried and the last time I fried some wires and the city light went out. I took it to the dealer and it took them 2 days to repair. Not going to try again.

 

uh, while I agree with you as to installing it yourself, 10-15 minutes isn't close to enough time, especially if it's your first time doing it. have you done it? I've done it 3 times and it's taken at least 45-60 minutes. I'm not sure how different it is between the models with the AMG kit and the standard kit, but I can tell you 10-15 minutes for maybe the passenger side, then you got the drivers' side with the water tank...

how did you fry your city lights by installing fogs? did you not flip the connectors like it said in the instructions?

 

you know its not that hard of a job, its like changing the bulbs in ur fog's it's all plug and play u dont need to pay some one to install them u can most likely do it your self.

 

IDK, gotta look at the track record.

But really, that is like paying someone to fill your gas - Really, do it yourself. just take your time and install them right.

 

I have not install mine yet, only have the kit sitting in my room as well as all other parts..haha.

but, if you know how to change the bulb really well, this shouldn't be any different, it's pretty much the same. just need to find place to put the ballast.
It might be a little longer than 15 mins, say 30 mins

I will find that out when I install mine..

 

i hust installed mine
took me 30 mins, and it's actually the first time i install HID, but i've install headlight bulb many times already

good luck

 

Try mod-express.com Maybe Robert can hook you up.

 

their ballast looks different than techone's ballast
if you check tech1hid.com

 

dude, you installed an HID kit in the headlights. the original poster and I were both talking about HID FOGLIGHTS, which take longer than 30 minutes... I can believe the headlights took you 30 minutes, but the fogs are another story...

I have no idea how it happened. I just had a horrible time taking out the front right foglight. I wasn't even trying to install anything, but just checking to see what type of bulb was being used for the foglights. After this incident, I no longer mess with my car myself (especially the foglights). I know I should be doing this myself, but I prefer for a shop that has done it before take care of this.
