Hey Jonas - I was trying to get away this past weekend to (among other things) visit my dealer in SoCal - the problem is I live out of state. Likely I will go next week, sorry! BTW the distance is exactly the same as from Stockholm to Bjasta (I couldn't resist).

Jonas - I will finally be at my dealer in SoCal on Thurs. I have a very nice gift for him so I know he'll be receptive to any request I have...as long as he can fulfill it. I'm asking him for the headlight-area wiring diagrams for '12 and pre-'12 model years. Let's hope MB policy allows him to give them to me.

Sohlberg

I got the wiaring diagram for both and i have connected all like the facelift lift

But it Will not work because My car dosen,t understand that i have facelift headlights

What scn coding did you do, also maybe it worth
Hooking the car upto a Merc star devopoling program to see if you can alter the software

Sohlberg

I did à scn coding with Mercedes star diagnos i work as a mercedes mechanic in Sweden and My car doesn't accept the new sam scn coding Can't be done

I'm rooting for you to make it work.

BTW, sent you a PM regarding the parts list to make this work; I may be following your footsteps.

hellasmania219

i have a 2012 C class without the lighting package. I want to upgrade to the OEM bi-xenons. Im assuming same process except i won't need to mess with the shape change just the harness and STAR programing. I am just waiting to find out more from successful retrofits.

@Sohlberg, can you share your parts list for the headlamps, connectors, harness, etc?

Noob here! Any Chicago members that are familiar with 2010 W204 headlight upgrade and housing painting? Looking for any suggestions of shops other than lightwerkx. They quoted about 500 for retro fit HID and painting the housing black. Anything in the Chi area?

hellasmania219

any updates on this?

Pavel Puti

Sorry no word yet, Just had a baby so this is on hold. My dealer quoted me 1,000 for bi-xenons. Can't find any local shops, thats the problem!
