CLS HID Install

I know there are a ton of posts on aftermarket HID installs, but I can't find any specific to the CLS. I bought the MTEC system and the instructions aren't very clear. Does anyone have photos, instructions or know of another post that addresses install for the CLS.

Many thanks in advance.

Our kits are 100% plug and play, though I'm not sure about the Xtec kits. I would follow the stock wiring and simply plug the ballasts into the stock connectors, which is how our kits work.

Keep in mind you may need to be reflashed by your dealer if flickering occurs.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm here to help.

How do you access the headlight assembly and where is the best place to mount the ballast?

I think that's because your car does not have the xenon/auto leveling headlight option, right?
