Beating a dead horse about BiXenons
Sorry,
but I am wondering of those that have had the stealership order and replace their lamps with the BiXenons, how much did you pay? Also, when you install something like this, is it automatic that it has auto-leveling? I love the lamps on my wife's BMW X5, and I'd like the same outfit on the Benz. And yes...maybe I should-ve bought a BMW instead...:D |

Someone will probably chime in soon, but I think I've heard other members say they've paid over $1000 each for them. I saw some on ebay a while ago for around $700 and I think they were bi-xenon. I've heard that you don't get the auto-leveling feature unless you order P2. I guess that sounds odd to me since I would guess that functionality in built in to the headlights but maybe not. Be interesting to hear for sure one way or the other.

If you're used to BiXenons then you would certainly need the P2 package or else you'd be fairly disappointed with the lighting ?!?! When i got my ride there wasn't a car with P2 package unless you'd special order it and i didn't want to wait so i went the aftermarket route with Phillips HIDs installed costing me about $500 which i've been very happy with :) !!
In the future i'd probably just get the factory BiXenons just to avoid questions like yours and the countless of threads regarding them. Good luck with your choice :) |

But the light pattern with aftermarket HIDs is SO horrible! It's horrible enough for me to want to go with tinted halogens.
That's why I want to get the OEM bixenons, but they are too expensive. Does parts for the w204 get less expensive as time goes on or when the w205 comes out? |
:nix:
|
yes. used parts are already much cheaper now.
as of today.. full assemblies will cost you roughly $700-$900/pair for ones with no tab damages. |
