it will most likely be a direct plug and play (if in fact the CLS bixenon assemblies include igniter and ballast - i'll double check on this) - what you'll probably need is the version coding from the dealership who, I hope, will be very kind to you.
I've upgraded CLS lowbeams to 6000K before, trust me, you'll want small hands to do it

. For those city lights just get some PIIA extreme whites, you'll never perfectly match because they're not HIDs themselves (just small 5Watters).My 6Ks look like this at night (it's more blue in a picture, but pure white in reality).
