Just to reiterate - our kit DOES NOT REQUIRE the use of those resistor packs. Our kit is plug and play and utilizes coding for 100% OEM functionality without any errors or any other issues - THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE XENON HID, LED DRLs in the bumper, ILS / ADAPTIVE / ETC
As noted previously - those resistor packs get VERY HOT and can melt plastics and/or damage paint - we do not recommend the use of these resistor packs.

Well I bought this headlight facelift kit for my W221 from Sonic MS a few months ago and whilst most headlight functions work, the ILS/Adaptive function doesn't. I still get a message on the cluster at start up saying "ACTIVE LIGHT SYSTEM INOPERATIVE". They then suggested buying some kit from ebay to make it work which clearly didn't.
Anyone know the fix? Cheers.

Looking to do this on 2012 C class w204.
Any suggestions?
I have ordered OEM headlight housings, would I need a new wiring as well? I dont need any cornering or leveling features, just high and low beams, parking lights, and turn signals.
Also, if using a bi-xenon ballast with resistor pack, I should be able to avoid SCN coding correct?

221 led fog conversion
Put a factory 63 front bumper and led fogs on a s500. Did the capacitor trick for the lamps but they still flash and go off. Any ideas

bekkers headlight harness and SAM
I have now tried 2 different headlight harnesses and SAMs from Bekkers. Same symptoms with both. No crank/no start, ESP error on panel, Xentry shows SAM is not programmed.
