KompressorKev

yes you can install bulbs yourself, and maybe you already know this, but make sure to wear gloves or hold the bulb with a towel so the oil from your fingers does not come into contact with the bulb, cause when it heats up, it will blow out. don't touch the bulb with your bare hand

Are these for the fogd to match the HID healights? If so, where did you get them?

Thanks!

Just a note, theres no way to change the Fogs to real HID via kit. Many have tried this including myself, even with a capacitor it still wont work. MB just will not accept the voltage for the kits. The hid's will work with no engine power only, once you hit engine power they will just flicker like police lights. Do a search for hid fogs and you will see the posts.

Unplug old bulb.
Plug in new bulb.

Done!

Interesting. I was thinking of doing this, didn't realize there would be issues. Thanks for pointing out.

Some HID retrofit kits are wired directly to the battery, with a relay to turn on/off. Is this how you hook yours up, or is it one of those plug-n-play deal using existing wiring harness? The relay wire harness will draw power directly from battery, thus eliminating the problem you described. I think.

Do you really need HID fogs with the BiXenons?

steph280

No you don't really need them. Bixenons are bright enough already.

But then do you also need all that horsepower in your E55?
