2017 cla250 halogen feeling dissapointed

So now I'm kicking my self for not doing any research and just thinking I can replace the halogen bulb with HID

After hours and hours of looking online I have come to the conclusion that I screw up basically right? and changing the headlights for the xenon/hid one is a no go?

was thinking of getting this to see if it would work

or would just buying a normal h7 6000k work?

You're right in that you can't just simply plug in HID bulbs for it to work.... you need to do an HID conversion, particularly, a canbus HID conversion kit kit. We carry top end Morimoto canbus conversion kits if interested that will work. Offered in 4500K OEM soft white, 5500K white, and 6500K white with a slight bluish hue. Shoot us a PM or email us directly at aznoptics@gmail.com for info. We also offer retrofit kits if you want to really dial it in with projectors.

bixenon won't be plug and play. Would need to recode. It can be done, but not trivial.
