SilverStar, i just purchased and applied x-pel to my bi-xenons last week. it was relatively easy to do myself. if you're thinking of getting them and applying yourself, go to their website www.clearbra.com and request for a free video that shows great examples on how to do it yourself. according to X-pel's claims, their "products are so strong that they are guaranteed not to yellow, crack or peel for 5 years after installation." i figured that for $45, getting a "5-year $1000 Light Protection Guarantee" was worth the money to protect the bi-xenons and the fogs. i purchased mine from performanceproducts.com.

so if it ever does turn yellow on you within 5 years, x-pel will most likely replace them with a new set.

Xenon present setting

it needs to be set to xenon present on your car if your car doesn't come with Xenon option.
Otherwise after you replaced to Bi-xenon on regular Halogen system, the headlight will turn off and on itself while engine is on.

i thought that if you didnt set the computer to xenon present it would show a warning of somesort due to the low current the xenons draw.

i think it all depends on the dealer. after i had my COMAND installed, Hoehn MB in Carlsbad didnt charge me for activating the Navi feature on the MFD.

Ok dealer is charing $95. Stealer is stealer. Now if anyone would kindly tell me the cheapest way to do it. I know someone bypassed the sys by adding a relay to the parking lights, wondering if you will get a malfunction when u try to turn on your headlights since I guess the original harness is unplugged? Can anyone here on the forum knows how to program it and would love to help out a fellow member? Thanks

Check with Harris or Steve/MBenzNL on the forums. They should give you the best price around.

you'll be paying more to get them anywhere else, but here's one of the cheapest online sites i found selling bi-xenons. $1,350.00.

Sounds like a good price BigJ if they are NEW. As far as a lower price than that I believe Steve does sell them for 1150,

Bi-xenon install??

Hello,

I'm thinking to retrofit the bi-xenon headligts in to my coupe, but I read in the forum that beside the istallation and activation by the dealer its recomended to levelling the ligths, that's rigth??

how can I do it?

The inside buttom with the levelling mode will not work after the xenon installation?

thanks.

Is it legal in Portugal to have those without the headlight washers and the self leveling feature?

I don't know if factory pre-installed bi-xenon have headlight washers, I think its an extra too but the self leveling feature comes with the bi-xenon.

They are legal without headlight washers, I have a CLK 200K of 98 with xenon and the washers was an extra too.

CitronC230K_03, do you have some pics of the bi-xenon installation??? I searched every where with no luck

It's really need to do the leveling? and how can I do it?

also congratulations for your car, you have made a excellent mods, I hope to make someones too, like the bi-xenon, command, 05 Tail Lights,grill, Turn Signals and C30 CDI AMG tailpipe

thanks
