"Because HID lights are on high-end cars, they've become a fashion statement. Auto-parts firms sell blue-tint halogen lights that resemble the HID color, for those dying to have their $9,000 Kia Rios mistaken at night for $120,000 Mercedes-Benz S-classes."

That IS very interesting, and informative.
So are they correct in saying MB is not right in marketing or selling Xenon or Bi-xenon lights - they are in fact HID's and the Xenon is just there as a starter gas?
