02' xenons on 04' plug and play?

Hello I purchased a set of regular xenons light assemblies from a 02' w203 to install on my 04 230 sport sedan. My question is , will this lights plug right in or will I need anything else to make them work, besides resetting the computer to read the xenons.. Thanks in advance

They are regular xenons for low beams only. Will they plug and play? Thanks

I doubt it would be plug n play, you will need some adjustment on the settings. I think its the same as BIX, but hey...unless you get them real cheap, I dont see why you want to buy an 02 xenon for an 04 that has BIX available. Anyways, you will need to take your car to the dealer to set "XENON" to "PRESENT", if you already know then go do it. It makes sense that xenon and bixenon should be pretty similar electronically....just except....... the BIX looks way better :p :p sorry

because they're heck of a lot cheaper than bixenon.

what's a good price to sell the xenon at? $400? I will sell mine when I get bixenon. I've been thinking about swapping for the 2005 taillight too.

Frank, you NEED to swap all the lights to go with the BiX look
