bixenon question

Friend of mine asked the dealer about installling Bi-xenon to his C200K. The reply from the dealer was they would not have the tool to do the auto levelling programme. Is this true also for C32 go Bi-xenon?

cntlaw,

normally when people retro fit bi-x into non xenon cars then the auto leveling feature will not be included. But if say you had a c32 which already had Xenons in it, and wanted to go bi-xenon, then I believe it will automatically adapt. The dealer will have to manually adjust the head lamps via screws....

Thanks. MY friend's C200K is alreadywith Xenons. I guess he was asking the dealer to install bi-xenons. That means, even he installs the bi-xenon, he will not have the auto headlamp levelling function right ? May be this was what the dealer's reply meant.

I believe this car's computer program is not compatible with the Bi-Xenon
