Stock C230K (non-sport) Pic request & HID fogs question
First off, does anyone have any pictures of a pre-facelifted C230K sedan without the sport suspension riding on 18" wheels? Preferably 8.5 & 9.5.
Second, for anyone who has installed HIDs in their fog lights, have you had any issues with them dying prematurely due to them lighting up from use of the remote entry? I haven't installed mine yet, but it's just a thought that came to me, seeing as how I know HIDs aren't mean to turn off and on often like that.

Yeah I ordered a set of error cancellers for the fogs, but my car came with BiX from the factory, so one would assume that xenon is set to present on it... didn't think it would be needed.
And alright Xhale, if you don't mind privately showing me, I'd like to see. That's what I'm worried about since right now I can't afford to get coilovers so I may just get a set of springs. My only issue with that is the springs I've found for the C230K only drop like 0.6" and 0.7", whereas I'd like 1-1.5". Any solutions here? Are the springs interchangable between the C-classes?

Remember that most pre facelift US cars ran the nose higher than ROW due to local legislation.

Are error cancellors necessary for all HID fog installs? Doing this next on my 07. Was searching around last night on here for a good solid brand and specifics. h7 or 9006.
