All I can say is, "Don't buy from xtralights.com" These guys refuse to stand behind their product and website. I bought a conversion kit for my high beams in October 0f 2007 and the ballast on the driver's side started acting up a couple months ago. They said I have the wrong kit for my car. I said, "I ordered the kit listed as one available for my car, on your website".. In fact it probably still shows up that way.

If you go to their website, select 2005 MB C230 kompressor, then click on the bulb for the high beam conversion, it will take you to a page with several different choices. When I bought mine last year, it was over $400.00 It's now on sale for half that price. Funny, cause they say it's an issue with european cars and that kit doesn't work on MB, yet my passenger side has performed flawlessly since I installed it. The driver's side will only ignite first thing in the morning. (Yes, I've checked all the connections, switched bulbs, swapped sides, etc..)

These guys suck and will take no responsibility for their mistakes.
