Sorry, Can't help with that but am curious why you want to do that.

On the S-class, the clear headlights provided a huge visual improvement (aks great looks) over the old style (plus Bi_xenon of course), but on the CL (which already had Bi-Xenon in Europe before), the visual difference was rather insignificant...

Just wondering...

I think it looks better with the clear glass, and I don´t have bi xenon before either.

I was mostly thinking of the main headlights which already were clear glass before, but you are right, they do look better.

Was Bi-Xenon an option in Sweden? Wonder why you didn't have it...

As long as the connectors have the same number of pins, swapping should be easy. I have heard/read somewhere that the Bixenon's have one more pin on the connector, but this may be a non-issue.

Good luck!
