C250 XENON LIGHTS

I recently bought a C250 and wanted to replace the headbulbs with the xenon ones. Is there anyone that has done this or knows what size bulbs should I buy for it?

C250 doesn't come with xenon headlamps, you'd need to get a HID kit. There are many threads regarding people changing their halogens to HIDs. What HID kits are the best, how to install, etc are all covered.

Is yours a P1 or P2? If you're not sure.. uploading some pics would help.

Canada doesn't have P1 or P2. All c230s (c250 now) don't get the option of having xenons, whereas all c300s and c350s come standard with xenons. So if the op want xenons, he's gonna have to go for HIDs or do a headlight swap.

I'm pretty sure that warranty will be void if you install HID kit. But i think as long as you take off the HID kit before you return the car you should be fine.

Thanks for the clarification patrick. We don't have the p1 or p2 package here in Brunei as well. Every option is more or less a stand alone option.

Ricky there is another option which you can take into consideration. You can switch out the stock bulbs to halogen bulbs which gives off that HID look which you are looking for. Philips Crystal Vision (4300k) and Diamond Vision (5000k) are what most of us are using here. These doesn't void your warranty and its totally plug and play as well.

Thanks for your reply. I was considering that option as well because its much easier and it kind of gives the same effect as HID if im not wrong. Just need to find the right place to get the bulb from. Do you have any suppliers in mind?

You can try doing a search here. I posted pics up on how they looked like. I was once in your shoes and I know it it feels like. Upgraded them and never been happier.. Unfortunately, I got mine from a local store here. You can probably try out ebay.
