After Market Hid For Ml

has any one done after-market HID on their ML? i heard from some that the dealer has to set the lights on HID mode or else lights will flicker.are HID plug and play or a no-go,because i daubt the dealer ship will set my computer for HID,since its not OEM.

ViKTORiOUS- Is there any chance you could take a picture of how your HID bulbs are mounted? I would only need to see a picture with the rear cover off and the HID Bulb installed on the passenger side. Any picture like that would be greatly appreciated!
