Shops in Miami
Guys, I want to install HIDs, but seeing that I've never worked with HIDs before, I'd really like to get 'em installed, I was just wondering if you guys knew any shops in Miami that you'd guys recommend. I drive an '08 C300 Luxury
Thanks,

I know a place called Wolfcars Motorsports that I know they can install HIDs but I'm the only thing I'm not sure is if they can do Mercedes but i guess it wouldn't make any difference. But I'm not sure look into it.There is also MercedesShop near Potamkin Honda. You can google both of these shops they both have websites. I've been to MercedesShop before and they're alright I guess I mean if anyone here has any better shops then you should go with them because that would be a big help for both of us.

Tony,
This probably isn't what you want to hear but when I went from my 2001 Buick LeSabra with halogen lights to the 2008 C300 P2 with the bi xenons, I was a bit surprised that the lights weren't as bright. Now on the Buick, when one of the original bulbs went out, I put in some brighter halogens which were probably only a little brighter.
Then a few months ago, I had a problem with my OEM bi xenons and it occurred to me that this whole xenon thing with a very overpriced option that is expensive to repair.
Knowing what I know now, if I had a vehicle with halogens looking for something brighter, I'd first make sure that I couldn't just do a simple bulb replacement and gain that extra brightness and avoid the whole xenon experience.

W220S430, Thanks, I'll check both of those out.
JimPap, I only have P1 on my car, so no Bi-Xenons, so I wouldn't know the difference, but are you saying I should just get lighter bulbs? I could try that.
