Help with my DEPO headlight
I just bought the bi-xenon depo headlight from ebay and when I install the head light, does the HID supose to ON right away when I turn the switch on or what??
I just installed mine and when I tested it out, the HID won't turn on, is that because I have to go to MB dealer to present the xenon off to on first?
the depo is pretty much plug and play right? 3 connectors from the ballast, and 1 big connector attach to the headlight?
What did I do wrong?

Crapp I got it!, actually that large connector to the back of the head light was just loose, and then I put the key to the 2nd position and turned the switch on, and HID worked.
But do I still have to go to MB dealer to set the xenon present ON or not?

WTB: Depo Headlights with HID kit
Any chance anybody know of any cheaper places to get DEPO Headlights with HID kits?
Also, when installing, do you have to take off the bumper?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Does your HID beam straight? Or does it shoot the beam out of proportion?
I've had bad experiences in the past with HID kits.
thanks!
