Why you shouldn't fit aftermarket HID kits

[219]

Light sensor keeps comeing up on my 2003 c200 kompressor coupe BUT all lights are working fine
Any ideas any one

If you mean the bulb monitoring warning lamp , this may be because you have the wrong lamps fitted .

Many Mercedes use 10W tail lamps , but you often find that people have put in 5W ones . Since the system monitors the current being drawn it thinks one tail lamp is out and triggers the warning light .

Same here. I owned a Renault 12 TS when I was a lad. The headlight were refereed to as Kangaroo type.(not sure if thats an official name). The main beams comprised on two bulbs. 1 x H4 and another H1. They came on together via a factory fitted switch on the dash. They blew everything else of the time away. All made by Cibie or course.

Must have been a face-lift one...mine barely had any light until I fitted a pair of Cibies.

Also had two main beam warning lamps when the extra ones were enabled.

They all had those...but the facelift had holes at the top. Mine was a '75.

Mine had holes. It was a P plate.

My brother later fitted the seats to a Morris Minor. To fit they touched in the middle.
