DDM Tuning Kit - 6000K, 55W.

You'll also need a set of error code eliminators.

IS that a good quality one is only $85+ $40 for the error code eliminator?

Define "good quality" . . It's far from being a $30 ebay kit. Their customer service is great and so far I haven't run into any problems.

Compare to the Philips and the MTEC ones that are over $250 for the plug and play.

A lot of people who have the MTEC kit praise it for the longevity . . aside from that there's hardly any difference that I know of.

DDM Tuning provides a lifetime warranty for their kits.

I was thinking about this. I plan on getting the 6000k 55w DDM Tuning kit for the low beams and Philips CrystalVision Ultras for the fogs. What about the hi beams? I don't just want to leave them stock. Do people put HIDs in those? Is that practical?

Do you still have to drill the hole to feed the wires through?
I found it on amazon but it doesn't specify whether it's 35w or 55w.

for the fog lights you have to drill a hole. For the low beams you can just file down the caps on the side and have the wires coming through that. Also i have an extra set of caps if u would want to file those n have your other caps as an extra..

Can't water get it in if you just file it?
Leaning more towards DDM Tuning because they offer 55w.

I know there aren't any errors from this kit, but there's no 55w kit.

You keep talking about no errors with this kit.
I know the promax kit throws no errors.
I want to know if water will leak in if you file the cap.

Yeah. I've never seen an HID kit that isn't plug and play.

I found the thread with the filed down cap. https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...tall-c300.html
But there's not much info on filing it. It doesn't show how much he filed it.
Do you just file and you're done? No extra measures to seal it off so no water gets in?
