55W Xenon HID Can-Bus Questions

[biggeordie]

Firstly, a big hello to one and all, I picked up my 2002 C320 yesterday and I am absolutely delighted.............................WHAT A CAR!!!!!!

I paid Mondeo money to get an imacculate C320 with AMG wheels and a nice AMG badge on the back............Woo Hoo!!!!

Anyway, I am installing a Xenon HID kit (yes, I realise the legalities etc), I have installed the 35w systems in the past and had error messages popping up etc, however my question is based around the following;

Does my Merc's factory non Xenon lighting system run at 55W??

If so, would I be minimising the chances of getting any errors by installing a 55W HID kit???

Would I need a Can-Bus HID KIT also?

I appreciate anybody taking time out to assist me and look forward to getting to know some of you via the forum over the coming months

Cheers All

Mike

Halogen run at 55w, but Xenon run at 35w.

Not sure about the errors.

Welcome.
