In past I had a Xenon issues too and a lot of other issues. But I fixed them all!

@RPB
Do you know the sense of a forum? It is not designed to help just you but to help each other. So why do you delete your question instead of telling your solution?

There was discussion? Must of missed that part. The guy posted the problem, nobody said anything. He then fixed the problem by himself and now your calling him out by saying he doesn't know the sense of a forum?

Thanks Super B, some of the people on this forum never cease to amaze me and I cannot believe what I just read. Like you said I had a problem that I posted then fixed it shortly after, so I would have deleted my post but its no longer an option. I did not want to bore anyone or waste their time, but some still felt the need to post bashful remarks. Those posters just got too much time on their hands. People in this section used to help out, this is rarely the case anymore and its a shame. Now I know what I need to do in order for people to reply. What a joke!

Especially this guy Popey, go eat some spinach and get a life. Olive Oyl must have put you in the dog house huh. Zayed you shocked me though as you have helped me in the past and that was unnecessary. DRBC43AMG has always been a jerk and thinks he is big stuff because of his high post count. This is a guy that calls his car "T Rex" lol!! You are all shameful people. Enough said, I have better things to do unlike this trio.

Now I know why there was no Diskussion.
If we would delete all the threads solved, the Forum would be empty.

I had to increase the low beams fuses to 15A, problem solved. I think this might be due to the fact that the H4 kits only plug into one headlight, so it puts higher draw on one light. I have ordered a H4 flex bulb that will plug into the other light and might solve the need for the higher amp fuse. Trial and error. I would not go above 15A, its just the initial start-up of the ballast that requires this higher ampage. After that the lights use 70-80% less power than halogen, I would recommend a 35w kit. The results are amazing w/ the Philips kit! I did not have to adjust the lights or anything, if you have any questions let me know. I can finally see clearly at night.

Sounds sweet. Where did you get your kit from? You just have the HID on the low beam or fogs also?

PhilipsXenon.Com, but the kit was missing the grommets and I am not 100% sure if its genuine for $215! Very happy w/ the results though.

Double check what bulb you run, I heard MB switched to H7 in 97/98 on the C-Class. I have been talking about H4 kits and want to make sure you get the right one, let me know if you have anymore ?'s.
