C-class needed for Xenon lights

At hids4less.com, we are looking for a local board member that is interested in getting a xenon retrofit kit installed in his c -class. We have devolped a xenon retrofit kit for the c-class which does not throw off any error codes and works well with the computer, but we need to do our final testing on some more c-classes. Anyone who is interested, please contact me directly @ 401-722-1945 ext 14. We are willing to provide a very good incentive for anybody who is willing to allow us to use their car for a testing for a few hours!

Mike

Well he said they are looking for 'local' people to test for a few hours...most likely at their shop...so I wanted to save you people a long distance call...unless you guys are driving 40+ hours to save a few $'s.

xenon guniea pig found

Thanks for all that volunteered to help us out. We have already found a test bed from one of the forum members and will hopefully have great results and an hid kit that will work with the c-class within a few weeks

Told you it would be a while. I had HIDs for my last car...they sat in the box for almost a year. I sold the car and never put them on. I am glad these HIDs will be put on for me so they wont sit.

Erik - let us know how it goes, with pics of the installation, if possible. I can only avoid the hid bug for so long, and if I don't have to drive down to Princeton (and possibly run into Rick ) to get the "Xenon Present" thing done, all the better.

I will take plenty of before/after pics, as well as pics during the install.
