MBTECH - I just bought BI-XENONS to replace my standard halogen headlight assy and was curious if you (OR ANYONE ELSE) could give me some tips about removing the old headlight assy.

Please tell me its not mandatory to remove the bumper cover !!???

any help is greatly appreciated !

ok they're installed without removing the bumper...I did one side at a time...

When I was installing them I found 2 unused plugs near the windshield washer tank. I was wondering if those were the 2 other plugs for the BI-XENONS...maybe the autolevel ?? I doubt it but....you never know. Anyway these 2 plugs would need additional cables to go to the headlight assy - I went to MB parts counter and the guy told me there are 2 completely separate complete wiring harnesses for XENON versus Halogen cars....that there IS NO cable that can plug into the 2 that I found.

MBTECH can you check this out ??? what are those 2 plugs for a non-xenon car ?

thanks !
