The lamp housings will fit. If the car you are putting them in does not have Bix at the moment, the car will need a software change at the dealer to tell the "lamp out" controller that xenon are present.

FMVSS 108 requires Bix equipped cars to have a headlight washer system, and a self leveling device to be legal.

Bi Xenon Lights (part #)

Hey guys got another question for you ....
Can someone with a w203 2001-2003 sedan model please help?

I want to get some bi-xenon projector headlights but i dont know the which set of part numbers are for my year/model .... now from my research these are my options:

A203 820 37 61
A203 820 38 61

203 820 4161
203 820 4261

Now i think one of these are euro specs?

Thanks for helping out.

All C Class headlights are the same fit for 01-07. You can buy any headlight from 01-07 and it will fit plug and play on your car.

I'm not sure if Steve from MBenzNL has any Bi-Xenon's in stock, but if he does, you can buy a set from him. Sometimes he has US Spec, sometimes he has Euro spec. It will be almost half price from him compared to the dealer. I wouldn't buy from the dealer for any reason. They cost $2600-2900.

Light pattern for US Spec looks like _--- and Euro looks like __/

I bought mine used on eBay for $800. They normally range used from $800-1200. You can also keep a watch in the classifieds on this forum for a used set.

The set you are looking at is Euro Spec. They look like they are in good condition. All used headlights are going to have some pitting on the headlights. It's normal wear and tear.

I think $750-950 is reasonable for that set.

I hate to mention this, but some guy on this forum was trading in his car, and sold a set of Bi-Xenon's for $475 about 2-3 weeks ago. They were sold in less than 2 hours. That was definately the DEAL OF THE CENTURY.

C230k coupe 500sec convertible
Well one month later and the buyer didn't recieve his headlights---some BS story from the seller about taking a while to cash a "cashiers check" what a crock and get this the headlights are now damaged and fed-ex has to cover the damages--- "The check is in the mail back to you" message is the final reply from the seller It is a mess so STAY AWAY from this seller and his aliases!!!!!!

The lost funds are $650.00
Looks like the Boston based seller might now be paid a visit by some Southie friends in the area to have it extracted!!!!
