Also adding these kits to a halogen setup gets mixed results. You may get the Xenon look but your beam may be terrible.

Hopefully the 300 is not setup up like Mercedes. When owners retrofit or use the OEM units they get a warning light that bulb is out and the dealer has to recode the computer to look for the xenon HID instead of haloagen.

It may be better, but more costly to buy the 300C OEM units from dealer parts and install yourself but most HID require auto leveling. Anyone know if the 300C has HID auto leveling?
