first off let me apologize, cause i know some ppl had hid threads. decided to get a pair of bix for my clk350. swapped the original headlights. 1) sometimes the headlight warning comes on and sometimes it doesnt. problems now include, headlight warning, sometimes the wont turn on, blinking. Stupid dealer wont change setting (will try to ask others but just in case, they all say now) anyway i know some people install capacitors for their audio systems and i was wondering if i could install them for my lights. i know some of the hid kits have capacitors built in, but from my online reasearch i see capacitors the size of D batteries. From what i understand this MAY stop the problem? IF so, is this a DIY project? or are capacitors hard to install? any risks? thanks in advance guys

am quite sure that had you used the SEARCH function with keywords like
HID and CAPACITOR, you would have come up with some decent answers
to your questions. click the smiley face as a start....

honestly i'm probally not an expert on these diy things. I read the tread, sounds pretty good for someone who has the aftermarket kits, but what i cant figure out is where i might place a capacitor with the whole oem bix lights. i just pluged in the lights light like you would connect a toaster to the outlet. Do i open up the headlight and find wires in there?

You don't need capacitors, you need proper programming.

true dat. the cap is a budget, ghetto way of fooling the bulb malfunction interrogator.

iguess

lol trust me, nothing would make me happier than if those guys at the dealer would just change my stupid setting. I'm three mouse clicks away from working lights.

Where are you located? No more dealers to try? Also, look for an independent that has SDS.

if you're in Detroit, Houston, or Seattle....Sunil makes visits there and will
usually have his SDS equipment with him. he charges roughly $100.
