Bixenon upgrade
I know that there are tons of discussions ongoing but need a simple answer 
Im about to buy a 2012 facelift w204 but its with the ordinary halogen headlights. So can upgarde to the bixenon ones and is it plug play? Thank you in advance for your answers and excuse me for posting it again

I have the same desire to update my 2014. What I've seen is there is an aftermarket kit of unknown quality/complexity. Have not seen anyone who did it by getting OEM used lights and related parts, the way I'd prefer to do it. Apparently either way there's quite a bit of wiring that's different from the std halogen lights, so not a plug and play.

I looked into this myself when I got my car and the effort and money involved were not worth for me. I went with high quality bi-xenon plug-and-plug headlights for $600 and I couldn't be happier. Sure I don't have the turning headlights and the auto HI/LO feature, but they're not economically feasible for me at 3x the cost I paid.
