Headlight total replacement
I have a 2011 E350.
I found out that the high beam subassembly has come loose and moves around inside the main headlight. Causing my high beams to shoot up at the top of trees. My headlights are halogen anyway and a bit lackluster. I know there is HID options etc. If I source some completely new headlights (assembly and all), is there some special programming I am going to have to do to swap from halogen to xeon or projector? Any recommendations?

i no you can fit the intelligent led ones as a upgrade so i would have thought xeon could be done , do you have a option to change the light type in coding , i cant remember were i saw it but when i was looking round my car ,
