How to install an HID kit on your W204 Mercedes-Benz

[Aranu]

So what do we do with the spring? are we supposed to detach it to get it over or just thread the bulb through it?

Do I have to remove the wheel to install? also, is there any other suggested place i can place the ballasts? thanks!

@damnsonson

This is THE best place to put this so it looks clean, and oem. Most people just zip tie it in the engine bay and looks like crap.

@xxhotelcrazyxx Thanks for the reply, i totally agree on keeping it oem looking. Im just not that good at DIY stuff and it seems to be pretty challenging and so close to the wheel lol. Other than cosmetic issue, is there any problem with installing in the engine bay? like over heating or vibration?

@damnsonson Follow my DIY, i made it very simple and easy to do. They are protected in there and they are behind the wheel liner away from all the weather and road debris. A monkey could do it!

@damnsonson No problems at all where i installed them
