Hey Guys .. Im in desperate need of guidance.. I had a 91 yr old guy plow into the front of my 07 C230 w/ AMG Package .. Since the car is in the shop I decided to upgrade from stock headlights to the Bi-Xenon Projects.. But now they don't plug up .. Please HELP .. Don't wanna go Back to Stock

plug in? you mean the bulb... you need different bulb..

Sorry for hijacking your thread.
I have just installed OEM BI-Xenon on my 2005 c230 sedan.
How come i dun see any Error message, I thought Halogen Headlight use 55W and OEM BI-Xenon need 35W? Should i go to Dealer and have it changed? Or it will be fine without changing it?
Thanks in advance.

Its fine as long as xenon = present..

I did not set the xenon=present. (I did not bring it to the dealer, I installed the headlights by myself.)
Is it okay to run 55w on my OEM Bi-Xenon>

You will get errors/problems. Do the Xenon=Present.

The toughest part is finding someone (either MB or indie) willing to do the mod with the MB Star Diagnostic computer. You ABSOLUTELY need to have this set or your lights will flicker on and off, making them useless at night.

Welcome to the bi-xenon club.

The Wiring Harness Plug for the Headlight does not plug into the Projector Headlight

can anyone out there help me ??

then either your car or bix are messed up it will work there are a lot of members including myself that did it.

Car is 2007 C230 Sport w/ AMG Package and Bi-Xenons are from Hella Brand New

I dont see why there is a problems... post pics.. that helps alot...

well not a thread hijac, but i have the same car. im really interested in upgrading to bix or depos for cheap. please if you get this fixed link me haha

just buy... its a straight easy swap.. I dont know what happened to his..

Post pics - Don't know what has happened. Should just plug in & require Xenon set to present. Maybe some late cars had a plug change?

there should be two connector on the headlight i think! make sure you try them both and see which one fits..

two on left three on the right

^ That is correct.

On each headlight, there are 2 plugs. One is for power. The other is for Auto-leveling. They look similar but the # of pins and the plug width are both different. Good luck.

Hella does NOT make Bi-Xenon's for the W203 Sedan (I believe Hella makes the Bi-Xenon's for the Coupe). I'm sure that has something to do with your problem.

The only manufacturer of the Bi-Xenon for the W203 Sedan is Automotive Lighting, which used to be owned by Bosch. Bosch recently sold AL to Magneti Marelli.

And if you want help, you need to take pictures of your Hella Bi-Xenon, along with closeup pictures of the socket and harness that don't plug into each other.

Re-living an old thread.

So the only way to set xenon present is to go to an indie or dealer? Any chance you can do it without the star diagnostics programs?

Also I was told that the levellung system on the OEM bosch bi xenons are not compatible with 2001 up to 2005 due to different methods of levelling. The older cars use vacuum system while the newer use electrical? Any chance to get it to work?

The way to get the xenons=present setting is to.either go to the dealer or find someone in you're errs that has the STAR machine and cab do the setting for you... don't think it can be done without it...the second part of you're question, you will have to wait for someone else time chime in about but I think some members with like '03 w203's have BIX but don't take my word on that one lol

In situations like this it helps to update your profile with your location, so people in your area can help point you in the right direction to find an indie or STAR system.

Sorry, I don't think there will be much people in this forum that lives around me. However, I have already located an indie not too far away..

Will wait on the motor/levelling part though..

From my research on the us models the leveling system is the same from 01-07 on the us w203's cars with xenon lights It is all electric. The difference is that outside of the usa you guys have knobs that adjust height on the light switch inside the car. I don't know much about that system but assume it is what uses the vacuum system.

Yes we have a levelling wheel down here, and I think mine is kinda leaky since its making a hissing sound if I put the lever on the higher clicks..
