After talking to 5 dealerships and got rejected. I just straight took my car to get a wash and talked to my usual service advisor and he did it right there, without charging me either =D.

Total was 900 bucks via paypal. He sent it and I got it in 7 days. It comes with two headlight lenses, thats it. No extra electronic stuff to wire and install, just take off old ones, plug in these and you're set. Only problem I have is that the driverside is kinda loose inside and I gotta figure out a way to keep it stable.

Mine too have something broken off on the inside of the light on one side! What color blinkers are on your head lights?
My lights have part numbers 203 820 38 61 and 37 on the other side!

seems as tho alot of people are having the same problems, perhaps these are defective headlights and thats how he got it? I'm heading down to a dealership on monday to see if they can possibly fix it.

I guess few of us got unlucky and the lights were damaged in transit!
For those of whom that have the adjustments mechanism broken,, does your lights bouce around on rough roads?
Mine has about 1/2 inch of play up/down!

Yes mine bounces around alot. I manually move it down inside and every bump knocks it back out of place. I came up with a quick fix for it by using a rubber band wrapping under the high beam bulb and wrapping it the other end around outside the housing to keep it pointing down and putting the cap back on to lock the rubberband in place. Its ghetto, but it worked for now until I can take it to the dealer and see if they can do anything about it, if not, I'll have to take it apart and find out whats broken and glue it together.

I was wondering if the dealer will warranty the lights(since our lights should be European spec)! I have not installed the lights yet and I am still working on a solution with Steve!

Are the HIDs you guys are buying from Steve OEM? They'd have to be right? It must be a defective batch that the manufacturer was trying to offload...who is the manufacturer BTW?

The bi-xenons are genuine MB parts. But I guess they're all gone now.
I think someone "rrf" is selling his OE Xenon assembly in the Classifieds section. For those who have Halogen, it'll be a nice upgrade 'cause aftermarket HIDS will void the warranty.
I dont know his selling price, but I guess it wont be too expensive. I just sold mine! :p
