xenon headlight conversion
My stock halogen headlamps are badly yellowed. I spotted these headlamps on ebay and am think of trying them. They look pretty good and are a couple hundred cheaper than the new OEM halogens off of ebay. See Link

What is it going to take to make these work? Does my 03 have auto leveling
feature? Do I just need an aftermarket HID kit that works with D2S bulbs?
Thanks

I found the oem ballast on ebay fairly inexpensive. I think I also need ignitors. There would seem to be some wiring missing as well?

The auto leveling is controlled by the same sensors as the airmatic.

Swede thanks for your replys here. Keyword is should work. I think that is all I will need to do as well. I saw a couple threads on other mercedes boards, a w204 and a Gl, where they had swapped them easily and just reprogrammed xenon=present. So I should be fine.
I'll post up before and after and any issues that arise. So everyone knows for sure.
Stuff will be in this week, but I need to have the bumper fixed and repainted as well, so it may be a couple weeks.
So far I'm in for:
$405 for lights
$275 New OEM ballasts
$80 New OEM Ignitors
$100 Phillips D2S 6000k ultinon bullbs

Yes, should work is the word. I haven't done the conversion myself since I've already got bi-xenons with active cornering. But when looking in to the possibility to upgrade them to facelift units (doing my E63-conversion) I understood that it should work like that on pre facelift.
Good luck and keep us posted.

I think its the other way around, halogen setting should be 55W so if you have the setting on Xenon only 35W should be fully compatible.
