My C240 pics of Bix and custom dual exhaust
I finally received my bi-xenons this week. I installed them with my dad on Thursday. We didnt take off the front bumper so we had a hard time to fit them in. It took us about 2.5 to get them installed. The car looked so pimp once they were installed. I have to get them programmed.
The dealer by my house refused to do it. One of the service people acted like I stoled them. He asked me for my car's registration, my license and where I bought them. One of the sales rep told me that they have done it. He said that they refused because I look too young.
But I found a little trick on how to get them on without flickering. If you turn on the lights before you start up the car. Start up the car (the lights will go off) shut off the car and restart it again and the lights will stay on. It worked for me about 85% of the time. It buys me time till I'm able to go to another $tealer.
Jan. 31 was my b-day (turned 21) so my dad wanted to do a custom quad exhaust to my car. My dad took my car early in the morning to the muffler shop on Wednesday morning. My dad decided to do the dual instead of quad (He said that it look too cluttered) and asked to have the resonator taken off.. He said that it took about 3.5 hours to do it. The muffler guy had a hard time bending the piping.
So enough of the typing here a some pics.

Damn, you installed the Bix without removing the bumper?? Your dad must be a damn good mechanic or a plasticman 
. Should get a bigger tip for the muffler, looks much better.

Quick question. Does anyone know where I can take my car to program to xenon present here in S. Florida?? I went to a couple of dealers and they refused to do it.
Thanks again.

Wow, i am impressed that you didn't take off the bumper while installing the bi-x.... How did you get the tab with the sprindle on? That musta beeen a *****.... And as for the custom exhaust, you should have had them cut some of your bumper so the tips actually sit higher....looks good.....
As for dealers reprogramming the lights, they actually have to do it.... They can refuse to install the lights for you but its actually a road hazard if they let you leave the facility with out your head lights working properly.....

The dealer does not want to do the program the car to xenon present because my car did not come with xenons. So all the dealerships that I've been through they have refused.
Later on I'm going to change the tips for a bigger ones not that much and the resonator is off the car sounds so nice!!!
Right now I'm taking my programming test. I have to do a cashier and a payrol program
My prof. already caught me. I have 5 points off my test 
Thanks again for everyone comments

YoYito,
What I am saying to you is the dealership is letting you leave THEIR facility with a car that does not have functional headlights. That could possibly be a law suite waiting to happen because they let you leave with a car that is not safe to be on the road. Thats all i am basically saying....maybe next time you should play the whole " its not safe for me to leave" and its on your *** if i get into an accident!

Thanks for the advice. I did not think of that. I'm going to my lawyer today(I have give him my traffic ticket for speeding 45 on a 30) I will consult with him on that.
Thanks again.
