So do they sell bi-xenons upgrades for the 04' C230K coupes?

Carlab sells the kits for $260 as part of the group by on the "other forum" in 6000K or 8000K, it's what I put in my car. It turns out no matter which kit you buy, some cars require the "Xenon Present", many don't. I can tell you that my car did require the programming but most people that bought the kit didn't. Also some people also got additional kits for the fog lights.

I did the 6000K MTECs in aftermarket projector housings. No coding required and fairly easy to install. I will be adding them again for the fogs in the near future.

Can you post a photo of the beam against a wall? Would like to see what
the effect of this bulb in the stock housing/lens. Usually you get hot spots
and uncontrollable glare if they're mismatched. So am curious how well
this match is when used with MB equipment.
You said it's good...but I'm less concerned about the look of it vs the
function and light spread/intensity/usefulness of the output.
