Xenon Halogens for GLK
Hi there,
I was recently looking into installing a HID kit on my non-HID GLK, but saw from a variety of forums that the installation would activate the sensor which thinks your light bulbs are burnt out.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem? Last thing I want is an electrical issue from an aftermarket light installation.
Also, as a work around, I am considering just getting a pair of xenon white halogens to replace the stock halogens to produce white light instead of yellow. Has anyone tried this? Any feedback on this?
Thanks!

Bottom line: Should have bought your car with factory HID's if you wanted them so bad.

Thanks for the reply! What is MB-Tech-COM? I've seen a variety of posts here of examples where people were able to install HID kits, stating that there were no errors.
Wow, really? I didnt know putting aftermarket bulbs would have such a huge effect. Better take them out! =P
