I will try the xenon = present first. it it does not work, I will be installing the error eliminator
Inform us! I really want to know if those eliminators work, Because I installed some 3700uf capacitors and its still kinda gay. But it still works, you just gota turn on the lights for 5 seconds before you turn on the car

We did the xenon = present today. and it worked. no errors no flickers. everything stable.

Good thing, since i am a student at wyotech fremont, one of the instructors use to work for mercedes. he got the star diagnose/is software and we did it.

not yet..... if you install the VVME HID KIT by their specification , it should be no problem....

anyhow, i searched in google last days and found there are so many posts in different car forum mentioning that they use VVME HID KIT or DDM ,and i found a funny post to compare VVME HID KIT with Speaker,DDM and VisonX4601 kit,,,,

http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thr...asp?tid=160631

in the post , the poster present different effect of these brand hid kit..........

by comparison, "VVME kits are cheap, reliable, and almost identical to the factory HID on the tractors and they are not blue like other kits."

so, what is your opinion ???? just post your fair judgement here........

I have factory HID's with xenon set to present and want to add this too my fogs. Do I need 55w or 35w? And will these bulbs fit into the fog lights? xenon bulbs are long after all..

You should get 35W. The small space of the foglight might cause it to melt using a 55w.And yes it will fit.

of course those bulbs fit into fog lights... as for which to choose, 55w or 35w , it is depends on what work effect do u need....

35w is digital ,, firstly, u can refer to the difference between 35w and 55w kits....

do i have to have the relay considering I have the xenon set to present?

no you wont need a relay. The factory wiring can handle the HID's and if you get a relay harness it only switches from one light so you will get a bulb out warning for whichever side you dont use for your switch.

Also, the xenon=present doesn't affect the fog lights. It's only for the headlights. And when plugging in the ballast on the foglight you may need to install the wiring harness backwards.

Yes do that. Mine didn't work the other way around and it needed to be switched around. Did you buy the digital ballast or the regular kind?

fogs are not meant to shine downrange. Don't aim it up. You will blind the hell out of oncoming traffic, especially with HID. The Hid fogs already glare really bad. Mine actually lit up the sky, about 75 feet high, so i actually had to cover the top half to reduce the glare.

THe fogs are meant to shine real close and wide for poor weather conditions.

well once you install them, they will shine very far to the sides. If you ever have them on in the snow or rain, you will regret shining them up. They will reflect so much light in your eyes that it will probably do more harm than good.

edit: I just realized you have the amg foglights, you might get better results than me since they are clear and designed differently.
