I just recently bought a 2006 c230 sport. i love it!!! i just have one problem, i tried to install an HID conversion kit and it's not working correctly!!! the lights flicker then go out. then on the gauge cluster it says default. my friend told me that the car is doing that because HIDs bulbs run at lower wattage than the stock bulbs so the computer in the car is reading the bulb as defective. is this true? what can i do to get this kit working? or is there a certain kit that i can get to resolve this problem?

To jinyoRS:
I also had the same flickering problem when i first bought my HID Kit. your friend is rite. Since the hid bulbs use lower wattage the car computer automatically tries to turn off the lights because it thinks they are defective and thats why they flicker on and off. You would need to buy a newHID kit. You should buy the one K1 is selling. I put that HID kit on my car and it works perfectly fine. I have pictures posted on the forums. Its probably on the 2nd or third page if u wanna take a look at wat it looks like. My advice would be to go with 4300K.
