question about my c350

hey i justt got my car back from a 19,000 dollar repair(sorry no pictureS .. i dont want to remember the horror.) and im ready to do some things to it ...

1. HID .. im switching my hid bulb to a mccullock 8000k and was interested about the fog lights... if i switch out my fog light to hid .. will it still have that effect where if i switch my right signal on the right rog turns on only??? is there any way to get rid of that so its normal fogs.? and will there be any error messages?

2. Lowering my car with H&R sport springs .. roughly how much is it and does it void any warranty.

3. can we play music videos that r dl'ed on frostwire and put on a cd through our command system??


THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Glad to hear that you've gotten your car back in one. Well as for the hid lights I think you would need error cancelers for the fogs as well. Also, I think you are talking about the active cornering light function. Don't think there is a menu for you to turn off that function but that function should not be enabled if you're fog lights are turned on. Sorry but couldn't help you out with the other two.

As far as your question about HIDs is concerned, Royce gave you a reply that should suffice! Now for the springs. 1st the price would be somewhere around $300-$400 for H&R springs. Mind you, the springs I'm talking about here are OEM replacement springs which would give you a drop of about 1". They are better than the stocks but you still can't push your car to the limits with those. About the COMAND system, any video disc which has a video format that is supported by the COMAND system can be played on it. Although i haven't tried but i don't think you can play a disc which contains videos in a DATA DISC format on the COMAND. It has to be a proper video disc with supported formats!

No problem yo! Why not go straight with coilovers? You can get error cancelers from DDMtuning. Alot of forum members are using their kits with no error at all.
