I was about to post a thread asking who may have installed an HID kit in their C Class. There are a few kits avaialble in eBay. It appears that the one claiming having the best kit is MTEC. I beliee these kits draw only 35w. They come with a ballast which helps intensify the light. Search eBay for "Mercedes C Class hid kits". The most expensive I have seen is $300.

They come as low as $69 but I think the cheaper ones do not have the proper adapters and connectors for an MB. My brother put one in his Honda and is very satisfied with it. It was a direct fit.

When ordering these, the 2 important items to know is the type of bulb i.e. 9003, 9004, 9007, etc and the bulb temperature (or intensity) you want. The popular choice is 5000 or 6000 for a white light. Too low will give a yellowish tint while too high will be bluish.
