NEW Low Beam HIDS and Fog Light HID Conversion
Hey guys I just got done installing some HID'S in my C280 for low beams and the Fogs I hard wired in also. I am ordering another set for the high beams which will be 10-12K.

Let me know what you guys think.

My friend owns a shop so I got the HID's from him, good price so I bought two sets. The Error and flickering only happens if you turn off the HID auto on feature. If you set the HID's to auto on the system doesn't think the lights are on, so you get no error. I am going to have the shop change the setting when I get my oil changed next week.

I got the HID's, two kits, for less than $225 so I think I did good especially since I got them installed for free also.

WOW 60 bucks is cheap! That would have saved me some cash but the install of the fog lights alone would have been worth extra cash. The damm windshield washer fill was in the way of the fog lights so it was allot of knuckle skin to remove the bulb!
