Yes it's possible, just get the Philips Diamond Vision, which cost close to $100. But it won't be as white and bright as HID. So after a few months of changing to Philips, you'll still find it not bright enough, then you'll go and change it to HID! And then you'll try to sell your Philips bulbs here! Hahahahha!

i suppose the installation should be much easier than HID...right? ...and there shouldn't be any error msg too? :whistle:

Yes, installation is much easier, direct plug and play.

I think you should see at the GTG first before deciding. There are both types there for you to compare. I'm pretty sure you'll go the HID route after comparing, haha!

With the K-Box - U gonna lose some of your low end torque and regain them after 3300 rpm. That's not very nice if U drive around town alot

and not goin very fast on the highway which we normally cruise around on the lower 2000 rpm.

The little Korean or Jap car tailgate U on Lane 1 - U slam your pedal...KNN car hesitate dun wanna move....hehehe!!!....down manually to gear 3 with your "tiptronic", then with the higher rev. wack the pedal & see your car moves......hahahaha! :Cry:

Below Dyno on my old W203 C180.

Won't be much diff. in characteristics on the newer W204.

Dun believe arh!!! Go & Dyno before & after lol....hehehehe!

Ah Wong got it from Eric when he was stationed at AutoSpritze.

Probably Benzline will direct U there for installation too.

At the same time U might also want to consider Ah Wong DRL mod

with those from the new W212. :whistle:
