The HID's take a few seconds to come up to full brightness. Mercedes
accommodates this delay by using them for the low beams and using
standard xenon's for the high beams and the HID's stay on when you switch
to high beams
The earlier low-beam-only Xenons use an 55W H-7 bulb for high beam with
I've 65w H7 osram bulbs in my 500SEL. Are those really 70w or 65w?
The 65w H7 osrams are actually h9 bulbs on h7 base.
Very bright, h9 was going to be best lighting, then xenon came along.
Good point about flashing, I wonder what I could do to provide that
feature. Normally on the H4 setup
