Bi Xenons
Guys,
I am planning to install bi-xenons on my C320 2001 model that has halogen headlights. I was wondering whether I can still have auto-levelling and 'same performance' as if I buy the bi-xenon along with my car (OEM-equipped); e.g., in a 2003 model.
I am not exactly sure how the auto-levelling works, it would be great if someone can explain it here.
Also, what is the difference between Euro bi-xenons (purchased from Steve) and US bi-xenons (from MB)
Any pictures would be great too...

Forget about the auto levelling....way too much work (did it on my own SL) for whatever you get out of it.
The main difference between euro and US bi xenons for the W203 is the lightpattern...
euro 203 bix headlightpattern
US 203 bix headlightpattern
As you can see the euro one has a upgoing rightside lightpattern whereas the US one has a less sharp line in it;s pattern...
furthermore there are some small optical issues:
difference in blinker bulbs
difference in chrome cover behind lens
