Autolamps-online 6000k HID installed finally !

I finally got the HID to work after getting dealers to reprogram the car.

The autolamps-online 6000k HID is great ! Just like all other OEM MB Xenon. It only cost 589 USD with free shipping.

The installation is at done at a bodyshop that specialize in MB cars, it cost 180 CAD to install and 80 CAD for reprograming the car by MB.

Thanks for giving me some advice on this matter, Randy !

david,

so they didn't work at all before you changed the DAS setting?

young,

They don't work at all before the reprogramming, the car would only flash the HID every 15 sec or so in addition to the error msg.

Randy,
Did you re-aim your HID after your installation ?

I didn't re-aim it, but the driver side light looks a bit "bluer" than the passenger side, I think this may be due to the fact that the driver side is aimed higher than the passeger side.

How did you re-aim your HID

13 mm plastic nut on the side of the head light assembly. I did re-aim them it is easy to do. I did not use any measuring tool just my eyes and driveing in traffic, I rarly get lights flashed at me, after I adjusted them.
