Azn Optics = Legit HIDs!

Just installed azn optics hid kit with built in error cancellation. Works wonders so far. Drove it around for about an hour. So far so good. Anybody else using these also?

but the install was seamless. only problem i think i'll have is that i don't want to drill holes into the caps. do they sell rubber headlight caps?

You could probably Macgyver something up with Home Depot parts or buy spare caps from dealer/junk yards. They're just dust caps. Just got to make sure the rubber grommets fit into the drilled hole to give it a clean OEM look.

Just drill it out. You don't want condensation in there and this is the best available way. You can order the dust caps for like $7 each new if you want to get rid of HID or when you need to return the car if it is a lease...

aside from the caps, anyone know if there's a wire harness so that we don't have to cut/splice into the original wires?

You're not cutting/splicing into anything. Everything plugs/snaps in...

C300.......my other car has a Hemi
I used Azn's HID's. All I can say is WOW!!!!! Simple install and the light patern is perfect. This is how our lights should have come from the factory! I did HID, eye brows and side markers (with clear conversion) I'll try and get some photos tonight, but unlike the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" It's not, but I'll try

the installation i think was a lot easier just removing the bumper, rather than the wheels and trying to zap strap stuff within the bumper...

just turn wheels from side to side to remove lining clips
use extension to remove bolts from fender to bumper
unbolt/unclip everything from up top
remove couple clips from below bumper.

done.

but the lights look awesome this is a super easy DIY
everyone should buy the HID's and LED's off aznoptics!!

You really think its easier to remove the bumper to install the ballast. You dont even have to remove the wheel, it just makes it a little more easier to work. All you really techinically need to do is remove the 3 fasteners on the fender lining and thats it, but i chose not to fight with it.

sure fair enough. maybe for a nice wide open easy to see work space, removing the bumper gets you access to lots of tight areas only accessible from the front. but either way works. wasn't knocking how you did it, you got it done, and it looks great!

i also put hid fog lights in. so the front bumper being removed was required.

NP, but you dont even have to remove the front bumper for the fog lights....you can do it right from the front. Just remove (3) torx screws holding the foglight grill in and its right there

Put those bad boys on. Installed mines yesterday along with the LED brake, signals, reverse, and all interior. I am loving it and I'm sure you will too.

Yeah, that Canadian Post office strike is pissing me off too. I've got boxes stacking up of Canadian customers that I can't get their orders to.
