lol, badblack has the regular stock bulbs. I have the error cancelers and have never had a problem with the drivers side. I think the connector is what's going bad. Not sure on the wattage of the kit.

I don't know if a slim ballast is even necessary, plenty of room to work with behind the fog light area.

Yeah, behind my fog light housings are two perfect metal mount points that I zip-tie my ballast brackets to. The ballasts then just snap into the brackets, which makes them easy to remove when...A BALLAST BLOWS OUT, (sigh).

I'm working with HIDExtra to get them replaced under their warranty.

Speaking of, anyone know where to buy a bunch of replacement rivets? They ones that are on the underside of the bumper, as well as everywhere else on a Mercedes? I've ruined the ones on my car because I don't have the proper removal tool.

Also, where can I get that tool? LOL
