Halogen vs Bi-Xenon casing difference?
Hi,

I need to replace the lenses on my headlamps, and I have bi-xenons. My question is, how different are the casings? Could I separate just the lens from the casing and use that? It's really all I need.

Lastly, I'm eyeing these but I have no idea if they'll work with my bi-xenon lamps. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W219-Headlight-Assembly-Halogen-Left-Right-Side-OEM-HELLA-/360599299736?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53f564a698&vxp=mtr
Thanks guys!

Yeah you can but why? Get used ones and have them re-done.

My plastic is cracked from being in the vegas sun for several years before I bought the car. They're pretty deep cracks.

So the casing will work with my bi-xenon? Or will I need to separate the lenses (the clear portion of the casing) only?

You can buy a tab repair kit from the dealer for $30 a headlight. I did this and got used headlights for $300 for my W211 before
