Thanks for the quick reply mate, I got them all working today :-) thanks to you. But now i'm having another problem passenger side fog light "led" bottom side of bumper flashed few times and went off not working! don't know if the light needs to be replaced or bad wiring? and parking sensors not working! I used the harness "wired for sensors"came with facelift bumper but there was no connector on the bumper to fit so i cut the connector from my damaged old bumper and joined it to facelift wired "8 cables" and connect it to car to power them up but no hope so i just left it for now as i was running late to work ;-) any idea mate?
Regards.

sound mate, i will check it out. Yeah that's what i'm doing as i have no other choice anyway :-( my brother crashed the car from front 2010 executive edition and there was a 2011 amg for sale as same color got hit by passenger side so i bought whole front from the seller! Bonnet, bumper, driver side wing, headlights, radiator, grill and subframe, engine mount :-( my car was damaged really badly and insurance decided not to pay as he was a learner driver! only good things he didn't get hurt and engine + chassis was ok so i decided to get it back together and cover the expenses from my pocket. anyway i really appreciated for your help mate, have a great night.

by the way mate, I already have this little parts came with amg bumper (2115451328) that fits into sensors, missing part is the power connector that the connecter goes into adaptor "harness" from the car to power them up? it has 8 wires on it.

Led lights came with the bumper, that’s how it looks like now 😎 next thing is to fix that ESP inoperative fault after the fog lights and parking sensors issues 🙈🍻

I cut off old fog connectors cables and wired them to the Led's connectors and fitted them to DRL's. kind of straight swap :-) but passenger side (left) LED flicked few times and didn't come on while driver side led was on and steady! I used fog lights switch, any idea where did i go wrong or do i have to install a capacitor? again appreciated for your help,

Today they were ok 👍🏼
I just had to adjust the bonnet and fitted properly as body shop did a crap job as you can see passenger side wasn’t looking right but I sorted that 👌🏼 They are working ok now but I will install the capacitors when they arrived just to be safe ;-) mate you’re a legend 🍻 can’t thank you enough ✌️ By the way for the headlights I just wired old cables with the 14 pin connectors cables and they working fine without faults only thing is auto dimming future is gone! Cheers

I can't remember for sure which wires, because I didn't even bother re-using that plug. I just cut the wires and used universal plugs. What I do remember is that you have two (2) wires for parking signal on the plug coming from the car. On the headlights, there's only one (1) wire for parking signal. I just wired all these together. As for the capacitor, what are you trying to use it for?

oh ok mate, and do you remember the color of those two wires for parking signal? ( I can see there are two brown wires coming from the car) would they be for parking signal? Also did you get parking lights faults when you finished rewiring? my issue is everything seems to be working as they should and when i turn on the ignition everything is good but when i switched off the ignition two parking light (left&right) faults appears on the dashboard! as I didn't use any capacitors yet and that's where i need your help if you can :-) did you install the capacitors to your parking signal wires and did that solve the faults issues on the dashboard? so i wanna use the capacitors for parking (lights) signals to get rid of the faults on the dashboard keeps appearing :-((
Best Regards mate.

Good job
Good job for you guys to complete your conversions I did also follow this through from the start but I also am having some issues firstly all the lights work apart from high beam indicator dark c low beam all work I fixed hyper flash using resistor I already had xenons pre face headlights so don’t get error for main beam which is good I get error for parking lights sidelights sometimes flickers what resistor can I use for this and I can’t get my high beam to work on the flapper on low beam

You might need to change your Sam settings or just use capacitors between 25-50v 100uf by the way what year is your car, can you take a picture of your wiring and share it? My 2010 had 10 pin with 10 wires and 2011 xenon lights has 14 pin with 9 wires!

Why do you have a plug in your car for a 2014 Mercedes CLS? I looked up that part number on there, and it's not even for a C-class. Check to see if this was a hack job, if so, I think that's your problem right there, someone probably wired up the wrong plug on your car. You will need to find the right plug and wire it up correctly. I attached the wiring diagram so you know what color wires go where. You'll have to figure out the pin-outs on the headlight side, I don't have that information.
This is the car. These are the headlights he had on. Everything is stock. Don’t know if I stated this but I bought the car off him like this except without the headlights. That’s why I don’t know how they were plugged in but picture above is the harness the car had with 14 pin holes. Idk why plug part number comes up from a 2014

thanks for your reply. But I believe that plug is what came with the car. I don’t think the person I bought car from wired or changed anything. This is why I’m so confused I also looked up part number. Very frustrating not knowing what to do.

I'm currently facelifting my 2010 C250 with xenon headlights, but i can't find any wiring harness diagram for it, or for the new one. (I'm switching from xenon prefacelift to xenon facelift, both has 14 pin connectors)
Can you please show me the wiring harness diagram for the old xenon headlights and for the new ones?
thanks in advance.
*edit* anyway i've read most of your posts about the diy facelift headlights. Did you just bypass all the control modules and ballast? I'm having a hard time figuring out what goes where.. please reply back to me if possible, thank you

BI-Xenon Conversion only
Hello all,
I’m converting a 2008 Bi-Xenon W204 pre face lift to the ILS BI-Xenon face Lift.
I’ve Installed the wiring harness from KabelDaviko, I’m a huge fan however the products don’t exactly come with a lot of supporting material.
On the KabelDaviko website it mentions that you will need a facelift light switch and the corresponding light switch wiring harness adapter,
which I also bought and installed, unfortunately without much success.
Currently my low beams work and my high beams work. I’m able to actuate the ILS system and that also works.
What doesn’t work are the LED’s.
The LED parking light/standing light blinks on the right side while the left seems to be fine.
both turn signal LED’s don’t work. (They actually come on and blink twice and then shut off and won’t come back on until the F-SAM restarts.
I’m clueless at this point and I could use some help from someone who knows how to tackle this.
Thanks
*edit* all parts including headlights are MB original.

There's no plug or play for this, what I ended up doing was making my own harness using the wiring diagrams. That's basically what you have to do. I ended up cutting up all the plugs and just using universal plugs to make my own harness for both the car side and the headlights.
