VVME HID's
I just bought my pops, for father's day, a 4300k 55w HID kit from VVME as I have bought HID's from them in the past for my previous cars. I have never installed a kit on any Benz and would like some input before I go. I have searched the forums and found some great threads on 'how-to' install them. My question is, since I didn't buy the relay harnesses for the kit, will his car be pulling error codes? and did I make the correct decision on purchasing the 55w kit opposed to the 35w kit? Thanks guys. Happy Father's day (in advances) to you fathers out there too.

I searched and read up on plenty of threads including yours blownv8. I just want to make sure that no error codes will be thrown. I also went in to the stealership my pop bought the GL from and the employee that helped me was *****y, to say the least.

Yes, I used an inline resistor. The resistor makes the car's computer think the bulb is working correctly and has the right resistance. The HID kit draws less voltage so without a resistor of some sort the computer thinks the bulb is out.
If the kit has a resistor built in, try it without. If it still trips the bulb out warning, use a resistor.

pteam, i think that is why most people haven't gotten the 55W ballast. I had a 55W kit and a 35W kit and so in the left light i put the 35W kit and in the right light i put in the 55W kit just to be able to see the difference... theres not much of a difference from when i was looking at it.
