I found Jay (631.592.4333) through this forum. His profile is Auto Addiction. He just serviced my pre-owned wagon (out of warranty) and did a great job! I would highly recommend him.
Just tell him you need the drop off and pick up in the Bentley
or else your going somewhere else!!
Are you planning on a HID kit? I was thinking about this since discovering I don't have Bi-Xenons. Please post back with how you get on with this, and what solution you opt for. I'd be interested in all the details.
Thanks,

No error message if you use the newer kits that come with the ballast and a built in component to trick your onboard computer. It work great, and can come with a 2 year warrantee.

I've already got two McCulloch kits for fog lights and headlights from www.xenonking.com just need to get them installed by a pro.
I went to this website and I"m looking for 4300K Fog Lights for 2008 E350 but it seems they don't have it out yet..

2010 E350 4Matic w/sport package
I would like to best match the Bi-Xenon that the P2 package comes with as well as change the other lights as well. I searched and come up with so many variations that I do not know what is what. I know we have the headlights, fog lights? or do the call them driving lights? then in the lower bumper/spoiler another set of lights.
Sorry for the noob crap

FreshBenz mentioned HMS. I would recommend these guys.
I had Mcculloch hids installed on low beam and fog lights. They worked perfectly fine for about a year and half and then the right low beam went out. These guys located the problem and installed a new kit. They also put capacitors on each of my lights to stop any flickering. Everything works perfect.
HMS is Harbor Motor Sports in Santa Ana. Thanks FreshBenz for the referral.

since this post it is about headlight and foglight. I'm a new owner of 2005 E500, I'm just wondering how come my foglight does work with the headlight when my headlight it's on? how do you turn them(the foglight that is) on? Thanks in advance.

That was a terrible reply of mine.BTW, where did you get the 4700uF capacitor and for how much?
I checked my local radioshack, but their 4700uF capacitor only rated at 35V, which does not provide adequate protection from ballast ignition to computer. (evidently, they require 80V to 150V during ignition.)
Instead, I put two 2200uF 50V for each side.
