HID kit
Hi,

Does anyone ever heard of HouseofHID? Are they a good one? Do you guys have any suggestion which brand is good for my E350? I got a stock halogen and want to convert to HID. Please help me.

Thanks. So, have you ever try their stuff? I am thinking about to change the projectors as well. What do you think about it?

Yeah. I'm running on Morimoto HIDs. Quality and customer service is both very good. I'm glad I did the upgrade. Haven't got the guts to try out the retrofit but I'm really tempted to try it out.

I am still considering the retrofit of Factory HIDs, I was also considering the retrofit of factory Bi-xenon, but that required too much work and cost, even with recycled parts.

So are you using morimoto from retrofit right now, Nuru? Which one that you used for your E350 4matic?

I'm running just the hid kits itself. Been using it for a couple of months and haven't ran into any issues.

So, its basically plug-n-play? How is it with the auto lights. Did you have to wire the harness to the battery?

hid kit for our cars isn't as easy as plug and play. auto lights feature is normal and don't need additional harness for that but you do need to get error free/canbus kit.

hey chris, its pete from CL.

no need to wire to battery...direct install at the bulb. space is limited so install is best if you remove the wheel liner and zip tie it down. auto lights work normally.
