Dealership wont RECODE a car to recognize XENON??

Has anyone encountered or heard of dealerships basically refusing to code the car for xenon recognition despite using OEM parts?
Someone please help, I have called two different dealers I convinced one to do it (in person) but they would not guarantee the work
and advised I search for a dealership that has recently done the procedure (they explained this to me in good faith) but the two dealers
i called (so i visited one and called two others) told me they could not do that or mercedes doesnt allow it??
An Independent shop (a well known one) told me that the dealer could only perform such a recode and not to waste my time looking for
an independent shop that would have the means to do so.

please help, i cant drive at night basically.

I think it's just a setting to be changed in the fss plus menu in the xentry star software.

You might have better luck posting this in the W211 AMG section. Also, read the stickies about "STAR diagnostic how to...", the answer may already be in there.
