LED headlight bulbs???
Has anyone successfully gotten LED headlights to work in the C230? I have a 2007 and I have tried them with "canbus" error boxes but I still get the error and the lights do not stay on.

yes and it works fine, don’t forget to drill your dust cover so the wire can get inside the headlamp if you want to put the ballast outside

It will need to be a canbus enabled HID conversion kit to work correctly, not just any HID kit. We have canbus kits that work fine. Easy install, error free.

we have two offering. Our personal preference is the Hybrid kit that pairs a Hylux ballast with Morimoto bulbs, but some prefer a full Morimoto kit. Both are high end, reliable, and great performers.
Hybrid HID conversion kit

Morimoto HID conversion kit
