E55
Need some help with e55 lights.
Hello,
Not sure if im posting in the right place. But here goes. I would like to install the mtec dual xenon kit for my e55. Not sure if they offer a hid kit for the driving lights. (middle lights on w211) I want them both to match. Has anyone done this before? I also want to do the fog lights next.
Also on a sidenote. whenever my lights are on a green light icon is lit up on my tach is that normal? Also how do you turn the fogs on and off? Is it possible to turn off the middle lights off too? (dont know what they are called) when the headlights are on or in auto mode? I dont like how it looks.
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question. Any help would be appreciated greatly!

You have an E55 that didn't come with HID lights?
You propose to reduce your performance.
The "middle lights" that you call driving lights are halogen rather than HID because HID does not come to brightness quickly enough to serve as a daytime "flasher." It's that way on all cars for that reason.

The green light is for daytime lights, I believe. I don't have my daytime lights on 24/7 (I think this is the constant/manual menu in the instrument cluster).
