i was checking my new headlight i ordered and they are bi-xenon 5000k i would like 6000k but the kits you guys are using some seem to fit my car because there no where for the bulb to stand.
is there a different solution to mine?
(Searching on ebay i found these,
those look more like mines, can i install those with any error of any kind?

hmm, i haven't came across phml.. is that a member here.. do u have a link to his post?
also, those bi-xenon you have, are factory, built in ballast that holds the bulb within it.. those bulbs should twist off.. it's nice having factory bi-xenon on cars, all you have to do is buy a different bulb with a different temp..

ok, so i got my kit a lil early.. went to my friends house to use his driveway and install them.. right is was easy to access but hard to see how i was locking the bulb in.. left was a bi^%&, but was more easy to lock in place.. didn't remove the wheel, but just turned the wheel to the right to get the tabs out.. also jacked the car up a lil too.. still was a pain to get to tho.. sad thing tho is that when turning them on, they flickered a lil, but they did stay on, but sometimes the left one didnt wanna say on, untill they warmed up a lil bit.. no error message on the dash, but still feel like i need a relay to draw power directly from the batt.. idk, might just buy the expensive one or keep these and add a relay, or a cap. idk about a cap, rather do a relay as long as it doesnt get any errors.. fml.. but it does look good tho.. my friend has a 6k kit on his GS and thats a lot more blue, compared to my 5k.. anyone have used a good quality kit with no errors, no flicker.. also, i'm gonna give mercedes a call soon and ask if theres a coding that can or needs to be done for the comp to recognize its using xenon and not halogen..

I went with 6k but have already ordered the 5k hids. I feel the 6k are too blue for my liking and with the w212 the bottom LED's dim to about 70% when the head lights are on so it really throws the colors off unless someone knows a work around to keep the straight LED bar bright. For the parking lights I ordered

They matched my 6k headlight perfectly and no error.

I just did mine. I bought this one http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=3893 6000K 35W and everything fit inside the headlight. No need to drill holes.

Finished my HID install in my headlights and fog lights.. 5k for both from the same brand so they can match. also both with resistor packs(warning cancelers) .. beautiful! also replaced my parking light to a error free bulb thats about the same 5k look..
