Great Vid MIKEYZ. How different is a w204 bumper to remove ? Cheers

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

very different ..i did a video on that too .. check it out...imho its easier doing the w204 bumper cuz there arent clampsnto remove just bolts and it comes off so easily... also differenr types of front bars will remove differently..slighly

[@michaelleroy4218]

Its a bit different but similar in different ways ... he did a video showing how to remove the w204 ..check it out its very detailed

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

What is the air hose used for?

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

which air hose are u referring to... if your talking about all the air hoses coming from engine bay area...mercedes use a vacuum technology for certain parts... for headlights I believe it's the hose to let air out so it doesn't build up and fog up. the. there's the hose for ac..to drop water build up...and thered also hoses for headlight washers which only certain models have

[@bartoszlaga4743]

@@MIKEYZVLOGZ I was reffering to the headlight hose. My W203 has bixenon lamps, and I bought biled projectors. Now I'm figuring out how to connect them. And I pray that computer unit wont see broken bulb. I thought this will be plug and play. I have 4 wires from bi-LED and a lot cables inside lamp. Also I have 3 conenctors for the lamp. Do you have a working wire diagram for W203? I tried looking for it, but its hardly avalible. My idea is to open stepup unit, cut 12V in cables, get voltage from there and get "long light or shutter power" from H7 cables. This way it shoud teoreically work, but im not sure if computer will see it, and maybe cut off power completly.. thats my bigest gripe. I wonder why isn't there any video whatsofver on the youtube about mercedes bi-xenon to biled conversion with how to and step by step.

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

@Bartosz Laga cuz its is usually halogen to halogen..then u just use led bulbs instead ... like what I did... my headlights were the standard halogen ..no leds..then I bought a set of halogen but bixenon looking.. and changed all the bulbs to hid and led then went all leds for less heat and less fragile... if u tried to go bixenon..that's why ur having issues..cuz ur trying to plug a headlight that is actually bixenon to halogen connectors... most ppl actually just buy a updated version of lights that use halogen bulbs or leds..but always ensure tour plug is the same ..same amount of pins and same plug port

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

@Bartosz Laga wbe. I bought mine I made sure it was dire t plug and play..no errors no issues..and if it wasn't I would return it..simply because it's abit of a hassle..wen u spend thT much money it should just work

[@bartoszlaga4743]

@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Let me rephrase. I have original W203 bi-xenon lamps, with sprinklers and autoleveling. It is oringal HID system. I bouthg BiLED projectros and was hoping to plug and play, but since they just have cables - I have to connect soewhere. And this is my question. Since LED works on 9-16V and original HID is 85V or more :) Why isnt there even 1 video on the whole internet from someone who did this. There has to be someone. Do you know any LED lighting forum on the web ?

[@saulmoran7369]

I got an older W203 as a Christmas gift and it came more than a bit scuffed. I wanted to ask if I should keep it automatic or try to do a manual conversion?

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

that's ur personal preference its really up to u .. what u prefer driving etc.. only u can answer that..manual is fun to drive ..but its all about what u use ur car for .. then u can answer it

[@yunusgul8161]

How do I remove it when I have front parking sensors?

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

once u remove everything else ..u will find a plug that plugs into the sensors... u wont have to remove individually .. all the sensors are wires together and usually it has a main plug harness which is usually in the front right side near the fog lights ..u will see it when u remove the front bar ... just don't rip the front bumper off ...look and be careful to alwaya slowly remove so u don't damage any connections... I didn't have front sensors ..but if I did it would have been just another plug thats it

How to put clips back on Mr nigga fix couldn't find the install video

[@MIKEYZVLOGZ]

what do u mean

[@absmith4639]

​@@MIKEYZVLOGZ couldn't find your install video, you said you would make in next video, just went by upload date but didn't see it, but didn't check too carefully, but checked the one after this. the bracket around the 8 minute mark, but I found another video explaining it again for just putting back on. You removed the wheel and more of the fender, but many people want an easy way to do it, so if you remake your video I think you can make more money. there are a few popular videos they do really quick with no explanation and remove minimal things, so I tried that at first but got stuck because couldn't put back in from doing it blind, I still have the piece but will try it later. and many people have parking sensors that fail so need to remove bumper for DIY or have different mercedes models but all use the same bracket but almost nobody explains how to put back. is very trick to do it just by feel if don't know what you're doing.
