C350 Sport - Hopefully Soon
Headlight Question for a Noob
Hi Sorry for such a basic question, I'm looking at purchasing a C350 and I'm confused on the headlights.

Are the standard headlights on 08s & 09s HID? or do you need to purchase the P2 package with the Bi-Xenon headlights and their auto-leveling to get HID headlights.

Thanks in Advance.

they are not HID unless you purchase P2 in US. If the package doesn't appeal to you, just get aftermarket HID kit installed for a couple hundred dollars.

Buy P2, the OEM quality and auto-leveling are far superior to the cheaper alternatives, plus there are a number of other nice features in the package.

This business about pimp confuses me. Does this mean I would have to wear one of those big hats and a purple velvet suit? Oh, and shave my head?

And take up saying "ya know whut i'm sayin" every 30 seconds?

LOL, it is sad that MB has become so cheap now that it has become a "pimp status" car.
