2008 GL450 Halogen headlight housing to Xenon headlight Housing?
Hi Everyone,

Recently I found a pair of OEM 2008 Xenon headlight lamp with self leveling feature headlight housing for the GL.

I was wondering is this a drop in and plug? or I need to go to dealer have them activate the self leveling program in the car computer?

Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Thank you
