w203 hid conversion

Is there any possible way of converting the headlights without ruining the computer? Because I called racefactory today and they said it would ruin my computer.
Should is changing my bulb the only option? or go to mercedes and get them to change it? is that even possible?

Yes..I did it for both the headlights and fogs. It's mostly in the ballasts and with special relay harnesses which both trick the computer into thinking it's a complete circuit which will also stop flickering which is caused by the computer thinking that the bulb didn't get enough juice...so it tries to start it again:

there is a special relay you can buy that goes in between the factory harness and the ballast that tricks the car to thinking it has factory hologen bulbs installed in the car.

I don't stock them, but I do bring them in. Just shoot me a pm if you're interested. To turn the fogs on you need to pull the switch out as you turn it. There's 2 different "stops" as you pull..the first turns on the fogs, the second turns on the rear fog.
