Well to make the story short, I had some issues with one of the headlights, found that the back cover of the bulb came off and I got some water inside the ballast. The surprise came when I call my local stealer to ask for price?????
$792.13
WTH ??? Are this things made of 24K gold?
Lucky me I found a used one on ebay for 115.00, let see what happen but sure I'm stay away from the stealer..........

Be glad you don't have the Active Cornering Bi-Xenons. Those are $1700.00 a pop.
Make sure that ebay one is OEM, and not aftermarket. Also confirm that it's a Xenon lamp, and not halogen.

the Active Bi-Xenon's on my 08 E550 ran $2400 including labor EACH. Both had to be replaced due to a very minor but costly (for the guy that hit me) accident. Nudged the front bumper forward = snapped off the clamps on the headlights = replacement of both headlight assemblies.
