Go to another dealer. I went through 2 other dealers before I found one that could do it. My xenon settings are present and I'm running on halogens. Just waiting for a nice day to mod.

I know a Vancouver area dealer that will do it for about $40. Won't post here to protect the guy.

PM me and I'll hook you up.

are these OEM Mercedes-Benz Bi-Xenon ?

if so, I might buy 2 pairs (one for a friend, and one as a spare set for me).

Only if they are the real deal !!!

If we need to confirm that we're buying a set before knowing who the seller is, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

I'd like to talk to the seller too, before I commit to something that MAY or MAY NOT be OEM. I know HELLA makes these, but they may still not be OEM MB Certified Parts with an actual MB Part #.
