OEM Xenon light constantly flickerling after OEM halogen conversion

Dear All,

On my E-class W211 2008 model, I have converted OEM halogen lights to Working OEM Xenon light came off from 2008 plate model car. They switch on fine though constantly flickering,

Is there something i need to do to get them working ? Such as preset in the computer or change of fuse to make it compatible ?

Any help would be great thanks

If you use an oem xenon stup you have to set your SAM to Xenon via Star Diagnosis.

Star diagnostic is what the dealership use to see whats wrong with your car. They have to tap into your ecu to recognize the xenon its very simple but you have to ask your dealer to switch it for you. I had it done on my C219 when I had the conversion it took them like 5 mins to do it.
