Hey guys, I just installed my HID kit and figured I'd pop a video and some photos of it up.
The kit is a digital kit assembled in japan and is 5000K. I've used this kit on my coupe and here it is on my sedan.

A very special thanks to Roland and Karo on this too.

nice beam, are you using projectors? what kind of kit is it specifically? looking to put the stock 4300k up to 5000k on my 05 c230 sport sedan, soon but i dont have projectors yet.

nrg_mike

Actually it's the sport headlamp w/ the all clear housing. I've had the same kit installed on my C230K w/ the standard headlamp as well and visibility was great! I got many many for my choice of 5000k too.
The kit I used was made by ONEX/Ibite. They are assembled in Japan and come with digital ballasts.
I've also attached a screenshot from a video of my totaled C230k w/ the same kit. It's just before sundown so the light isn't represented well though. sorry.

oh i just found this one too. lol

Looks great Mike! I looked into the ONEX HIDs as well but found them to be pretty expensive ($150), the ones that other forum members are recommending on this forum are around $30-$50, however some seem to have problems (with or without error eliminators). Personally, I would be more willing to spend extra and have less problems. Where did you purchase yours from and were they around that price range ($150)? Thanks in advance.

nrg_mike

That's about right for the retail price. I've actually seen them go for quite a bit more. I can actually get them for a pretty good deal. I get them directly from the distributor. I'll PM you some info.

is that 55 or 35?

nrg_mike

These are 35

akundaria13

you didnt run into any error codes with the 35(onyx brand) you used?

as mentioned earlier, id rather pay more and avoid any error codes than have that issue to run into.

nrg_mike

I ran the kit for a day by testing it at random intervals without any error or flickering. The next day, I met with Karo to do the xenon=present to avoid variable error that may (tho it shouldn't) arise

Looks good Mike. I never did Xenon=Present but for some reason I recently started to get errors. I did the Xenon=Present and the errors went away. Maybe the error cancelers went bad?

Anyway it all worked out well. I believe Roland was having this issue too. Out of no where he started to get errors. I did his Xenon=Present and I hope it solved it.

nrg_mike

Yah, I've tried the cheaper 30-40$ kits before without digital ballasts and always ran into some sort of problem whether it was flickering, or error codes. When I went to ONEX over a year ago, I never got any errors. One thing to note was that I installed the error canceling capacitor on the coupe and Karo did the xenon = present for my sedan just as a secondary precaution. I never got the errors and never had any instances where I'd get flickering or only one light to turn on.
I've actually helped dozens of friends switch to ONEX for xenon and bi-xenon upgrades and these seem to be the way to go. We've done them on everything from a Ducati Superbike, a few BMW (650, 840, E92/90), G35s, and lexus/hondas/nissans galore...

how much was that kit? thinking about getting one for the 204 now.

anthonyy

Thanks for the info mike! I'll PM you know once I get the funds together!

nrg_mike

HEY has anyone had any experience with the DDM h4 high/lo bulbs.
i want them because of the option but wanted to know of any problems or horror stories before hand
thanks

nrg_mike

BiXenon kits are good but can be a lil more expensive. Also, they're a little more work to install.

havoc_vulture

are the high/lo bulbs are only for BIX.¿¿¿¿

nrg_mike

Yah, standard h4 hid kits only have the low beam.

havoc_vulture

ahh good to know before i made the dumb move of getting them without having BIX.
I have the halogen
thanks
ohh by the way your lights look great

nrg_mike

Thank you! Hehe. I'm debating if I want to do the fogs and high beams now lol.

havoc_vulture

ive heard h7 for headlight but idk wich one for the fog lights

nrg_mike

Should be a 9006 bulb for your fog light.
Just to be sure

i put mine in too. thx mike.

just turned on.


after ignited. only 4300k so it looks oem. iphone camera sucks as usual made it yellower...lol

samaritrey

look great i love oem look. the w204 guys are lucky they all have projectors that look good and have good beam pattern. i do get a lot of comments on my bix about how they look to much like halogens. everyone seems to think that they should be really blue like ricer blue or at least have the blue glow like the bmw's.

nrg_mike

Frank they look good! I may do the same for my 204 now.
