Always willing to help you out I have xenons from factory with upgraded PIAA fogs - check out the other forums though, there's plenty of talk on HID kits and which are actually worth buying.

whats the eight fixation buckle of wires?

question for MBHustla858, You installed this kit in your w202 with no issues? was it true plug and play? Did you have to run a wire to ground and hot? did you drill holes in the headlight housing for the extra wiring or buy the OEM HID housings? any response on this upgrade would be great.
