Bi-xenon installation

I've been searching through the forums but can't seem to find directions to removing the front bumper to install the bi-xenons. I was searching through the ML and found that somone even posted pictures of how to do it. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place? I also heard that some people can reach the bolt on the outer side without removing the bumper. Does anyone have pics and/or instructions. How can I do it w/ out removing the bumper?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Where did y'all get the bi-xenons? I have a 2003 C240 4MATIC I might want to do this on.

TIA.

contact Steve at s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com I think? He offers an unbeatable price for the lights. His e-mail responses are quick and he is very informative

Do not try to install the lights without removing the front bumper...you might end up with a broken headlight tab...you wouldn't be the first one to get stuck with that...

Honestly, I can't really say because it's not my personal car and so I've never driven it in the snow. My mom says it handles very well, though... I think it might have come with snows on from the dealer, since the tires say "M + S" on them. (BTW, is that normal? She did buy it in the winter, but I would've thought it would've come with all-seasons...)

Take that FWIW.

greetingz,
I wanted to bump this because the link doesn't work anymore. Besides the first link for the bi-xenon install, does anyone else know of others? I think I am going to attempt the install myself.

EDIT: The link works, but the bi-xenon install link doesn't.

Buellwinkle gives great directions on how to install the bi-xenons. I used his directions. I installed them myself, and they are beautiful.
