I had emailed that guy and he said they were plug and play. He said there would be no error msg if installed correctly.

I've just posted a thread concerning these headlights from this person.

The bodyshop told me the fitment is good, they work good and everything is good BUT they don't know how to adjust the beam as they're for left hand drive vehicles. Please does anyone know

Plug and Play on a Mercedes ?????? Everything on this car requires the dealer, the Pope and $$$$. You cant even go to Mcgard and get wheel locks, because they have an agreement with Mercedes that you have to get them from the dealer. Turn the alarm chirp on or off ...... go to the dealer. Want to plug your Ipod in, no problem the radio is ready......but ya got to go to the dealer and get two wires (that cost more than the Ipod) then have the dealer enamble the feature in the cars software. Great car, but I really didnt want to spend quit so much time at the dealer in the service department for Non-repair work.
