active headlights revisited
i was wondering how many people have successfully gotten 04 cars retrofitted with the curve sensing headlights? i know one member got it for sure.
i was under the impression that as long as the appearance package was ordered, it included the active (as well as curve sensing) lights. the service advisor i spoke with said that the package does not include the curve sensing lights. can anyone confirm this? thanks.

FWIW, my '04 E-Class sales brochure states that the Appearance Package includes "Bi-Xenon low-beam and high-beam headlights with active curve illumination system". The brochure carries the usual disclaimer that M-B reserves the right to make changes at any time, however.

...we retrofitted active bi xenons in Scorchies 2003 E55 as well...fairly easy when the car already has regular xenon lights and you have a stardiagnose system at hand...

How does this feature work? I'm familiar with something on the w203 that allows the fogs to illuminate light in the direction the steering wheel is turning. Is it the same way on the E's?

is this something i should insist the dealer do? it seems that the dealer i bought it from is unwilling to do this and it will turn out to be a big hassle for me. anyhow, i guess the only proof is the brochure with the disclaimer right?

My '04 E500 w/App Package also listed the active headlights as part of the option, of which I never received. I ordered the car from MarcusBenz, and asked him to help me get the retrofit, but I never heard back from him on this.
I didn't have the time/patience to chase this down personally. How much does it cost to add it yourself, MBenzNL? Scorchie is just down the road from me - he's already done my OEM Sirius sat install.
