quick question about headlights...

hey guys i just wanna double check something about the headlights.

i just finished installing DDM 5000k 35w HIDs for my fogs, i havent seen them in the night just yet, but from what ive seen im thinking im going to need another 5000k set for my headlights.

im pretty sure the headlight bulbs are H7, but my concern was am i going to need error cancelers for the headlights?

please guyys any advice would be greatly appreciated.

after that my next mod might be painting the grill since i see how EASY it is for it to come out . lol

Yea I guess you'll need the error cancelers for the headlamps as well.

Yes, it's H7.

You can also take the light bulb out to check.

my fogs are 35w @ 5000k and wow do they get hot quick, so i want them to match equally which is why im going to get another 5000k, does the 55w give out a different color?

I have two sets on DDM and you definitely need the cancelers. I would guess the H7 in 6000-55W will match your fog lights.

Just curious, how did the install go? Was it relatively painless or was it tedious beyond all reason? Because I'm still debating whether I should go HID fogs. Don't get me wrong, I love the look, and I would definitely love the output, but the hassle of installing em (drilling, mounting ballasts, etc.) just seems to be risky for me to do alone.

On a more on topic note, yes you do need error code eliminators. Post some pics of your fogs on at night!

yea chicken the install wasnt too bad. i used these links to help me out:

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...g-hid-kit.html

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...rill-mesh.html

both of those can be found in the DIY section of our forum, thanks to spoolit and evilution.

the proccess of taking off the bumper and grill was easy, i am a NOOB when it comes to DIYing with cars especially i dont know too much but those DIYS helped out a lot. the bumper didnt come off completely but i had enough to maneuver. the only drilling i had to do was into the cap thing that covers the back of the fog light. and that was very easy. i had a little trouble wiring but i got it once i seen everything. the ballast and the error cancellor i taped them to gether and ziptied them together. hopefully they dont blow up lol. i will post pics tomorrow night, but i definetly going to buy another set for my headlights. im probably just going to go with the same thing since i want everything to match up perfectly . and chicken if you want to do it yourself ill be glad to help you out just send me a message and ill give u a way to contact me more easily and it wont be a prob !
