Xenon's for the '02

Looking at options for the '03 C230, I see they have Xenon's available. Does anyone know if it's possible to get these added to an '02 coupe by the dealership. I try to stick with factory items as much as I can (except when I can get another 30hp with an ASP Pulley). Just curious if anyone's mindset is similar to mine. Anyone have any advice on a good set of Xenon's to get, if not from MB?

look at my lighting FAQ in my sig. It will tell you everything you need to know. As far as I know, there has not been anybody who has personally seen a 2003 coupe with projector style assembleys. You can easily add xenons to your stock 2002.

Not in Canada they don't. I just picked up the brochure and they are not available as an option. But they did not remove any content like they did in the US for 2003.

I've made an inquiry to my dealer about Xenons for my 2002 Coupe. I'd rather have them do it if only not to risk the warranty and the related hassles. They are looking into parts. I've been quoted a "ballpark" figure of $1,000. This is for parts and labor.
