Once you've had BiX you will wonder how you did without them.

^ why even post?


That comment has nothing to do with the question asked except for boasting purposes and higher post count.




Anyways anyone know if the deference's between the stock xenon housing and the stock non xenon housing?

maybe you can just replace the actual light part and keep the housing?

C350
In canada, you get them on C300's and C350's (not sure if it's standard on on the C300, but it is on the C350)

Well parts got back to me ....

1920.00 per headlamp for c63
1500.00 per headlamp for c300/c350

This means in order to go forward with this i would have to sell my set for 2000.00 or more. WOW!!!

1. I dont think anyone here would buy bi xenons for this price
2. I would have to spend 2000.00 alone to upgrade.
3. It would be cheaper if i painted the insides but i dont want to open my headlamp period.

What do you guys think?

check with Steve/MBenzNL instead of going to your local dealership. It'll be a more realistic price from Steve.

Yeah but it wouldn't be significantly cheaper, would it?

it should be significantly cheaper.

i.e. the W203 bi-xenon. dealership's price was around $1300-1400 per lights. Steve's price was $1250-1350 for a set and he can install it for you when he's in your area.

of course the W204 bi-xenon I wouldn't expect them be as cheap as the W203 lights. I'll wait for the price to come down before jumping on it. no biggie.

You should open yours and painted a good sealer will do the trick.
