Nothing MB related (sorry)
Bi xenons have the auto level system. Halogen headlights don't. That's why the bix come with more plugs.
No need to connect these extra plugs. You can simply swap the headlights, AND DO MAKE SURE to get your car programmed with stardiagnose (xenons must be set to present). Without this programming the bi xenons will only flicker when the engine is running, which can seriously harm the headlights.

So Its a case of just getting my car programmed to recognise that i have xenon's would this have to be done at a local dealer or could a handy man do this .
will it stop warning lights on the dash comeing on ? , and one last thing with the auto level system will it not matter that nothing is connected , thanks again for your time and help
