Really quick question, i read everywhere that people are buying error free HID Kits for either replacing the ones on their Bi-Xenon, or switching from Halogen to HID.

my question is fairly simple, how can i make sure when holding a HID conversion KIT in my hands that they are error free for my CLK before buying them?
(we have tons of HID Kits mostly Made in China! i guess we do have very bad experience when it comes to such kits!)

or is it that people purchase this and they become error free?

Use the search LOL

 

I wouldn't buy anything from hidextra...

 

Why?

 

I remember going through one of their GB threads and ppl complained about their product being cheap and how poor their customer service was

 

Get either OEM Bi-Xenon headlights or the ones offered in GB a while ago. They are available on ebay for about 400-500$. Dont get hids into your halogen headlights. It will look ricey and is really annoying for the other drivers on the road

 

Personally, I'd buy OEM bi-xenon headlights. You should be able to get a pair for around $1,600. If that's too expensive, then you can look to buy used headlights. You will often find units with broken anchor tabs, bad bulbs or ballasts going for as little as $200 each. Usually for less than $200, you can fix those problems and you end up with OEM bi-xenon headlights for under $1,000, maybe even under $800 if you get lucky.

 

so OEM bi-Xenons do come with the Ballast & everything even when sold as second hand? not only the housing?

 

I'm still going through the process to get a working set out of HIDextra. Their customer service is terrible... I know there was a tread on here that listed another HID company in southern CA.

 

i have 3 sets of HIDs from HIDextra and they are all still functioning and working. i havent had a problem with them since i installed them about a year and half ago.

i will be letting them go once i install the bix bought from the group buy tho =/

 

You would hope so LOL

 

If you have the Bixenon already just get a D1S for facelifted w209. they are direct swap. if you wanted to do the fogs then you have to get the Error free HIDs I believe the pre facelift w209 bixenon used D2S bulbs.

 

I bought a set from them to convert my fogs based on some really good reviews, hope I don't end up having issues, it's a pain in the *** to get any type of customer service over here when something goes wrong...

 

I hear ya. Bheng hasn't had any problems with their HID kits apparently, so you might be fine.
