i read in a post by 'class c' that this setting was changed to 'xenon present' b4 the real xenon lights were on the car. i would like to make sure that the stock lights would still work until i receive and install the bixenon, especially since it gets quite dark in calif this time of year! thanks for your response!

wow! you guys are awesome!

if only the benz dealerships in norcal were so helpful and fast....

by the way, does anyone know of any dealerships in norcal, preferrably in the bay area that would do this setting change without any hassle?

thanks again for helping a newbie to the forum out! have a great weekend!

I consider most of the "Mexican" food in the US to be Tex-Mex. I guess because I've eaten "real" Mexican food in Mexico, probably only in the southern states are there enough Mexicans for people to actually be aware of the difference.

Smythe European in San Jose removed the No Phone MFD message on my car with no problem. Not sure about the Bi-Xenon setting... still worth to ask though.

Bi xenon installation question

Hi,

I was trying to do a self install for the new bi-xenons. I found the post by SLKBoy and it helped out for a while. Until I got stuck at the point where I need to pull out the bumper. (Step 6 on SLKBoy's instruction)

Does anyone have an idea how to pull it out? It seems to be hooked onto the round thingy on the sides, but dont know how to pull it out.

I think Silver_Lana is referring to the bi-xenon assembly for the 320, not the CL203.

I am just trying to see if there is enough demand to send to Steve and then he can create a supply if he can.
Doesnt look too promising though since there are hardly any responses.
Thanks anyway chaps!

AlBoston,

Because my car was an early production, even though it was a 2003 model, it was produced with 2002 specs. Really pissed me off but oh well what are you gonna do about it?
