Can anyone tell me if these are Bi Xenon lights or the Projector Halogen one's?

Okay so they are bi xenon's. That's good cause I am picking up a c63 tomorrow and thought it had the projector lights. The right side bulb looked like it had a halogen bulb in it. Thanks!

Even for Bi-Xenon option, the high beam DOES use H7 halogen bulbs.

So if these are Bi Xenon's, what do the non xenon's in the 2011 C63 look like?

You are pretty much looking for the projector (the eyeball looking ball)

However, there are some cars like the c300 that has the projector but doesnt not have the xenon/ hid powering them so pretty much you need to go and turn it on to find out for sure

The pre-facelift headlight without the lighting package is not a black housing it is chrome and the high beam is giant not small like in the pic you posted. I have a 2011 without lighting you can somewhat notice the difference however I had my housings painted black. Your best bet is to search like eBay for 2011 you will see the ones that have the lighting package and the ones that don't that is your best bet. Both have a projector headlight but the high beam housings look way different.

Why oh why would they make a Black Series without the lighting package?!

Makes sense, that looks quite a lot different! Thank goodness, I didn't get stuck with one without it. It's absolutely ridiculous though that cars this expensive would come without such basic options. Even KIA's are doing this now for crying out loud.
