Selling w203 OEM wheels (new tires) and OEM Bi-X

Here are the links fellow w203'rs

Trying to free up some money for stuff.
Vegas in 5 weeks...
Summer vacation... Ugh...

Wheels I'm selling just so I can get something objectively better looking
It's a good deal for people who need new tires and don't mind OEM rims much


OEM bi-x

OEM wheels
https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-ti...ml#post4677468

May work out a slight deal for those who have helped me out before.
But I feel like these prices are pretty fair


** is there a DIY for removing headlights?

negative on the bumper removal. Just remove the two bolts on top of the bumper. And the bolts along the inner fender and underneath bumper.. And that big metal bracket inside the fender.. give it a tuck and the side pops out enough for you to reach the third screw on the side of the headlamp

bi-xenon means low and high but the low and high come out of the same projector thru a movable shield

The bulb next to the bi-xenon bulb is both a city light, and a high beam light.

W203 bi-xenons are a little weird in that there are like 'two' high beams.
The lens/projector in the bi-x open bigger(?), as well as the high beam bulb in the lights closest to the grille turn on.

Someone explained w203 bi-x very well in one of the threads in this forum (FrankW?)

Thanks for all the help on the DIY guys. Much appreciated

I'm having to resort to OEM clears until I have more money to re-buy bi-x or retro-fit some Japanese projectors

the projector lights are very weird, cuz i have a 2006 denali that has them yet they are not xenon, so i dont really get the point of them vs a regular yukon, they dont seem to put out more light

Xenons are gas bulbs, right?

Thanks for all the info guys, took them out today.

Pics are now up in the Bi-X sale thread.
Go check out the difference, and decide if you want them or not

Updated my Bi-X selling thread:

$950 shipped, insured, packed to the CONUS.
First come first serve.

$850 picked up.
$10 installed, or 2 cases of Crystal Geyser Water

And to add to the information already posted, I used this DIY with Pictures to help swap headlights in less than 30 mins each side:

http://mymbonline.com/forum/187-c-cl...eadlights.html

It would probably take me less than 10~15 minutes now after having done them once
