OEM 01-07 SEDAN bi-xenons for sale!!
I've got a set of OEM Mercedes Bi-Xenons for a 2001 to 2007 SEDAN only that I will have for sale in a day or two - bought them new 4 months ago. I am selling my car so I've put the stock frosted headlights back on. $850.00 shipped by Paypal only to KonTourSeat@cs.com. Best price new you will find is $1250.00 shipped - if they are still available.
OEM is the ONLY way to go for this upgrade (which dramatically updates/changes the look of the car) ... the other knock off stuff (Depot) is just terrible quality and not even worth looking at - really miserable optics and fit. The light just sprays all over the place instead of focused on the road.
Here's the deal: they have EXTREMELY SMALL pitting on them, so they are NOT perfect and I could never represent them that way. If you get them and don't like them I'll refund your money minus shipping charges. If you stand more than 2 feet away you could never see it.

Well, got 'em out and here they are. I would rate them a 9.75 out of 10, and like I said if you buy them and don't agree send 'em back and I'll refund minus shipping charges - around $30.00 in the CONUS. Good stuff, these pix are terrible because of the size restriction on the upload - they look like they are TRASHED

They have adjustments for up and down and left and right, which are very easy to adjust with a Phillips screwdriver. Give me a minute to do some quick research on this... somewhere I seem to remember the optics of the lens were different - seems kinda strange but I want to check it out before shipping them half way around the world!
"The "bi" part in bixenon is to be found in a steel plate in between the reflector (with D2S bulb) and the projector lens. This plate is controlled by a solenoid and changes position when high beam is activated. At low beam the plate covers about half of the reflector opening allowing a limited amount of light to escape through the opening towards the projector. When the high beam is activated, the plate tilts forwards (away from the reflector) which creates a larger opening for the xenon light to escape through the projector.
The topside of this plate is shaped differently for Euro spec, UK spec and US spec headlights. This results in a different light pattern on the road with dimmed lights. In the UK and Euro spec lights there is an additional blinding strip inside the light attached to the tilting plate. This is controlled by a lever found in the rear of the headlight, after removing the bulb access cover. It's function is to modify the dimmed beam pattern to flatten the "peak" found on the non-oncoming traffic side of the pattern. It is intended for use by those Europeans who drive their car in the UK and vice versa. With this strip, the UK spec light pattern \___ and the Euro spec light pattern ___/ can be changed into a non blinding straight cutoff line ____ . The US spec bixenons come with a slightly different pattern (although the US and Euro spec cars are all lefthand drive) which looks more like __-- and does not have the additional pattern modification lever."

There are literally almost microscopic dots on the lens - Polycarbonate is incredibly soft versus glass or acrylic. I'm a Commercial Pilot by trade and just a WEE bit **** retentive.

Ron, I'm gonna move this to the Classifieds, but I'll keep an expiring re-direct for you, so that people who haven't seen this will be able to see that it has been moved.
