aftermarket hid upgrade

just installed a set of mc culloch hids. works fine with the engine not running but when its running, one of the lights flickers then goes out and on. according to the posts in this forum, i need the car's computer to be set on xenon. mb at arcadia and pasadena will not change the setting (they actually have no idea what i'm talking about) any dealers out there that will change the setting? cost?

Just go to MB Star in Walnut Heights, CA. They are not a Benz dealer, but they have the equipment to change the setting. Just give them a call @ 626-913-0780. I had my OEM bi-xenon installed there. Good luck!
