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?

19 viewers and no one reply it? no one has depo head light here or something??

Now hold on a second there sir.. do you actually HAVE an HID kit?

viprsx

the depo has HID 6000K in it, but my old head light doesn't have HID

mig888

Have any pictures of how you wired up the DEPO 6K kit?

viprsx

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?

mig888

When you turn them on, do they flicker or just stay on solid? You may not need to if they just STAY on . Good luck (otherwise, visiting the dealership sounds good :\).

Not flicker at all, just stay solid, and so I turn off and turn it back on and still stay solid, eventhough i didn't put my car key in it.
So If it start flickerin than time to visit mb dealer?

mig888, by any chance, are you Indonesian? Coz I saw ur car's pics w/ SFKREW

mig888

Haha - no.. I'm one of the rare people who isn't Indo who was a part of SFKREW (have to fix up another car now). They're a great crew though if you were wondering. Are you local?

Pashap5

are you talking about the LED turn signals inside the headlight...if so..do you mind posting the link of where you got them and weather they have the load resistors on them already..thanks..

atai888

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!

atai888

Hey ViprSX,

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!

viprsx, what year is your car? hopefully it'll fit with my '07 c350

atai888
