Hello,

I've been searching the threads and I can't seem to find how to change out my factory Bi-xenon bulbs to the D2S 6000K bulbs I have.

I looked in the owners manual and it says to have an authorized technician do it, but I don't want to spend the time/money to have the dealer do it.

I unscrewed the back cover off the headlamp assembly and I saw a transformer--- I then immediately screwed the cover back on...

I thought that if you just bought replacement bulbs (I have 6000k to replace the 4300k) it was a simple process--

I know some people have done this on the forum, but I can't find any threads that tell you how to do it exactly.

Any help much appreciated--

Unscrew cover from behind headlight. Unhook power cable from back of bulb. Unhook clips that hold bulb in. Reverse procedure, done.

The C63 takes a D1S. So it has the transformer built in.

It's a D1S

Thanks for the reply--that answered my question.


Now, can I use a D2S bulb instead of the D1S? Can you remove the D1S bulb from the transformer box and put in the D2S?

No. The D2S bulb will fit in the socket but you'll need a separate igniter for it to work.

Thanks for the help. I"ll be sending those back and getting the correct bulbs?

Does anyone know of any store that sells D1S bulbs locally?
