Hey guys, i know a lot of people have been asking but this is next up on my list of mods.

Can anyone help, as far as installing these? i am going to go to a shop but how does this work without getting errors with ecu and not having to worry about only one light working because i heard this happens if its wired wrong. Is there a preset that has to be made like if you were switching from non hid headlights?

I remember searching and pm'ing some people but never got answers.

You will need to install capacitor

i dont even know what that is.
what does it do?

store an electric charge

phranksmbz

how much do they run for a good one? have you done this yet tank?

Please search on here as well as the W203 for this work-around. It has been addressed numerous times. You are afterall a Senior Member and not a Noob.

I haven't done my fog lights, I did my head lights, personally I like the way the eyelids and fog light contrast with the HID head light

This shop i asked said that they just use resistors. Where do these capacitors come into play?

peet

Please don't do vogue lighting. Read up on the way and shade of light (temp) fogs work.

I know i know ... but it looks so good.

I only inted to use it for show and without my headlights on. Just the fogs and eyelids lit while driving sloooow

phranksmbz

for real though ... can we just do this with resistors alone?

So this is a fact?

Common people ... i know someone here feels me?

i know that our fog bulbs are 55w so if i go for a 35w hid kit for the fogs, the resistors will take care of that difference correct?

doesn't really matter whether you get 55w or 35w kit, it will still trigger bulb out warning in dash. but then i would go with 35w kit. 55w kit will generate too much heat for tiny fog light housing.

you will need something like this,

or

there are some hid kits with built in error canceler. something like

What i would want to know is about the The car in that pic posted above, its from japan i believe. And all the lights seen in that picture are STOCK. yea dont you wish you lived in japan now? haha japan rules but back on topic, if its stock do you think the actual fog light was modified to work well with HID's? I cant imagine they just threw them in Right? Cause im guessing if its stock than it cant just be cosmetic.

I dont have a C Class but im guessing that if you install these fogs, it might just throw out a lamp defective and they probably will work fine. In that case you will just have to throw in a resistor on both sides. Im sure someone has done it already. Search it. The HID's i installed didnt give a lamp defective error but it kept blowing the fuse that controlled my entire dashboard. It stopped blowing after i threw in a resistor i dont think you will have that problem but a heads up.

actually, this seems to be very promissing.

in that photo it looks bad ***, but pointless unless if you gonna turn off your headlights and drive around with just fogs on.....
i just feel that some people get a little TOO hid happy. i personally like the look of the lexus fogs that are yellow with the hid headlamps, when you have 2 sets of hid's on a car, and you see it coming towards you the first thing i think of is honda....

All four of my fogs are xenon and the shop just install the xenon conversion kits for me and no errors.
