HID Question for Renncpe
I just talked to hid4less to see if they've worked out the socket issue you ran into with their product. The person I talked to (don't know his name) stated he wasn't sure about this issue and suggested I go through you / Brumos as your're a hid4less wholesaler. Is this true, or can you provide any other insight about who you talked to at hid4less so I can talk to someone who knows what's going on?

Randy, if you don't mind, could you answer his question about the mod to the socket that you had to do here? I'm assuming that there are others here as well as me who are on the fence on this issue, and this would impact their decisions.
Thanks.
What's your price on the kit, btw?

heh, i just called him! 
randy stevens (sp?), and he very graciously answered my questions for me. he said that the relay issue wasn't addressed yet so i'm going to wait until they do. and he's convinced me that this is a DIY job. the hardest part was to remove the fender liner (which i've done before so its not a big deal).
he's going to find out about the daytime running lights issue (how is it affected?).

There is no difference with the Xenon between daytime running and normal operation. That makes since because the is no filament whit the Xenon’s, when they are on there on.

There is no issue with the relays they are not necessary on a 203 body car. The only snag was the connection on the wiring harness and the guy’s at hids4less are taking care of that.

oops, i knew that the relays weren't needed anymore. i meant that once they get the 'proper' kit together, then i'd get it. that is, the connection on the wiring harness is corrected.
<strike>do you know if the oem hids kit is a bi-level xenon kit?</strike>
also, i'm assuming that the stage 1 and 2 kits are the same except for the bulbs? i'm thinking of getting stage 1 hids and i know you got stage 2.

i contacted autoclass.net and they had sent me info that they had oem hids for the coupé about 2 months ago but in actuality, they do <b>not</b>. so the hids listed must be for the sedans at $1598.

Hey renncpe,
Do you mean that a HID retrofit kit will work on the c-coupe without the relay ? But does that mean that if we don't use the relay, we have to get MB dealers to reprogram the car to avoid the warning light issues of the on-broad computer ???
Will the HID kit work without both reprogramming and without the relay kits ?
Thanks.
