At least you don't have to worry 'bout the auto-leveling.

yeah, that's a big plus.. auto leveling is awesome.. but the clear lens + projector xenons = hotness. my car feels like it drives better.. or maybe since I'm able to see further down the road I trust going to higher speeds.

Fogs
Hi guys,
I have a question. Actually I am upgrading my 01 C 320 to bi-xenons as well.
What I don't know is how it works with fogs. Someone told me that it is enough to buy just clear fog slide and replace the old one. Is it gonna work ? Or should I buy complete facelift fogs..is not the bumper/fogs from facelift different ?
Thanks

hahaha I really thought that was real. I was going to go home and try it out. They look really nice!! My headlights are actually clear from the '05 model but I don't have the bi-xenons which really suck. How much did you pay for the lights themselves?? and where did you get them from? I've been looking on Ebay, but they really don't have much.

Can you direct me to where you got your Bi-Xenon Head Lamp Conversions? I just recently picked up a 06 C230 with OEM Halogen head lights.... i hate them!!
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks...
