fairly simple... just get your car to the dealer and "xenon-enable" the computer, then install the lights.
Your xenons should be around $2k + install. However, you will not get active and range adjusting functions without spending an arm and a leg (your car is not equipped with the sensors and wires).

A few members on the board have done that. It is possible to get a set of bi-xenons and put them on after delivery, the install is really a plug-and-play job. The most important thing is you have to make sure your dealership can change the computer settings for you 'cause a lot of them dont do that. I do have very good pricing on W211 bi-xenons, if you are interested, shoot me an e-mail.

So that's why I would like to know how one could tell whether that person had the sensors or not.

The sensors are needed for airmatic and the original poster did not mention whether he has airmatic or not. So maybe the person who originally asked DOES have the sensors.

Are you saying that since I have airmatic, but don't have factory BiXenon's, I will still get auto-leveling when I install the BiXenon at a later time?
