thats why I don't like buying stuff from ebay. You can never know what will go wrong. Unfortunately I don't know much about HID problems. I've had mine in for 6 months from DDMTuning and I've never had a problem. How much did you pay for you HID's?

I installed them with these resistors and still am having problems. I had to put in the stock bulbs for reliability.

I am going to upgrade at top sport, and get one of their kits online. thinking 8000k. then I have to figure out to match the bulbs for the eyelids, and foglights. I wish there was a all in one kit!

kit comes with everything you need for an install but make sure u get a digital kit, it comes with all the wires and it leaves no need for a canbus decoder which takes a lot of space.
DO u kno what bulbs ur fogs are? mine are 9006 but I have a w203 idk about the w204.
just get the correct bulb sizes and call them up. U should buy both kits from the same company and ask for a special price.

I believe you need the error cancelers, but not the wiring harness. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I heard DDM has a batch of bad ballasts. I don't know if they are still in circulation. HIDextra.com also has good kits.

I have a set of 55W DDM Ballasts from my old car, can I just buy the DDM H7 bulbs for my c300 and plug n play? Or do I need error cancellers and all that? They told me I might have to cut up the factory bulb holders, is that true?

I think you should be able to use it. Just buy the error cancelors. You do need to drill a hole on the cap so u can run the wires through
