Default AHHHH!!!! Check VSC Error!!!!!

So I decided to be brave and change the OEM bulbs in my headlights and was only able to get through the passenger side, I had to remove the filter to get access to the housing. Now here are my problems:

1) I am not able to get the driver side done because I dont want to mess anything up....its too cluttered, there are too many things in the way preventing access. So if any of you have done it before, please let me know what how you did it. Or if your in the Burbank/Glendale/Sunland/Tujunga/La Cresenta/Flintridge/North Hollywood area and dont mind meeting me up and helping me, that would be great too! Im in Cali, in LA I live in the Valley.

2) The damn Check VSC error came up...now, I read posts and this is what I gathered:
Either:
a) Go to the dealer and have them fix it

or........

b) Disconnect the battery, but here is the problem I have with that. I've read that the windows need to be reprogrammed after a reset and I dont know how to do that.

If anyone can help please let me know, any info is better than no info. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Howzit Kruzer21,
I changed the bulbs in my 250 with no problem. Driver side, you need to remove the washer fluid fill tube. I believe it's a 10mm bolt, unscrew and pull out. That should be all the room you need. As for the check VSC, take it to the delaer. If you wanna try the battery, after you hook it back up look in your owner's manual. It tells you how to reset the windows. Something like going to each window, roll it down halfway, then pull up and hold for 2 seconds till the green light on the switch stops flashing. Hope this helps.

LoL, Sorry as I was reading this I had the same problem just yesterday doing the same exact thing. I changed out my 4300k D4S HID bulbs with some new 6000k D4S bulbs I purchased. I had to take the whole intake system apart to get to the passenger side bulb. I changed everything out and started my car only to realize it was lite up like a christmas tree with Check VSC, redtriangle and the skidding car icon lite. I was worried and decided I must have messed up and decided to take it in the shop this morning. I started the car this morning and the errors were gone. My solution was to drive it around 15 mins last night and then let the car rest looks like it fixed itself.
