W209 CLK55 OEM Xenon Facts / Fiction
Please correct me if I am wrong on any of the following. (US W209s)
To my understanding...
1. OEM xenons were a 990 dollars option for all years of the w209 CLK55.
2. All OEM xenon equipped W209 CLK55s also came with the high pressure headlight washers.
3. There are no aftermarket xenon/projector headlight housings for the W209.
4. You are able to install OEM xenons on a non-factory equipped W209 CLK55 as it is plug and play, but will require a reflash from the dealer so the PCM accepts your new hardware.
5. The temperature of the OEM xenons is 4300K
6. C55s recieved different Xenon Headlights, as they were not concurring Xenons.
7. All W209 OEM xenons were also self leveling.
Does this seem correct? Also any know the part numbers between the CLK55 OEM xenons and C55 xenons?

Don't know about most of your questions, but I do know that if you have OEM xenon lights you also have washers and self-leveling. They are required by law if you have xenon lights. not sure who's law it is but they all have them.
