With the error cancelling modules you are good to go. You won't need anything else

You'll need these for the fogs, yes they are for a BMW but they work.

Those are more than twice the price of DDM, how's the quality and warranty? I've had DDM kits on my cars for the past 4 years and necer had one burn out or fail.

I don't think Mike is carrying HID kits anymore, just LEDs.

I did take a look at ddm but the only reason I'm considering precision led, is that they have done a kit on the new facelifted model so I'm guessing it will fit...so far there hasn't been any news on HID kits for newer W204s

DDM sucks... I purchased a set with the error cancelers. Their parts are faulty, had issues with flickering, at times, one would turn on and not the other. etc. I had to send parts back three different times. But, you get what you pay for. I got rid of them and purchased a pair from http://www.aznoptics.com, and they are great, never had an issue and they have built in error cancelers.

The morimoto kit I have has been superb. Customer service has been exceptional and warranty replacement requires only a picture of the malfunctioned part before they ship your replacement.

I've read about ddm's customers service and felt that the headache wasn't worth it. I also figured that 5 years with one morimoto kit equals out to the price of 5 years worth of ddm kits, minus the headache.

I have no knowledge on whether they have made a bulb for the face lift model or not, but I'd recommend them for any earlier model.

Aznoptics doesn't offer a whole lot of bulb choices...

I recently installed a $100 kit from xenondepot.com Seems like a quality kit. Many lexus owners use these with good review. Don't forget 35V 2200uF capacitors from radioshack if you don't want errors/flickering.
