I have grey seats and my indigo jeans rub off on it. I wipe the seats with a wet disposable cloth once and awhile and the cloth turns blue. It doesn't wash off completely. Maybe I should try some oxiclean.

It's leather - not a porcelian toilet bowl. There are leather cleaners that you can use (followed by a conditioner so that it won't crack after you strip off the oils that keep the leather soft and elastic).

As for the Xenons, I would pass on the aftermarket garbage. I've seen way too many buned out wiring harnesses and melted headlight housinsgs. Presumably you had a choice when you bought the car - it is wasn't important enough for you then I guess you either live without them or you take your chances.

Is the interior Artico or real leather? I mean, spending $4K on the leather upgrade but saving $1K for the factory Xenons doesn't make much sense to me. The Artico wears a hell of a lot better than real leather, you won't stain it with normal use and seeing as it doesn't absorb anythign, it washes off with a damp cloth.

I can only assume they wanted to move a car in stock and none of them had the Xenons.
That's the problem with presumptions; you weren't there so don't really know and you come off sounding like a snot...

Not necessarily. I did not do enough homework before buying my 2011 and the dealer never mentioned this option or I would have snapped it up.

And, how exactly does "me not being there" change anything? You didn't have a choice? Really? You mean, your old car stranded you in the middle of the Gobi desert, and as you were teethering on the verge of death you happened to come across the only MB dealership within a 1,000 mile radius with $50K burning a hole in your pocket and you had no choice but to buy the only car they had?
You asked for advice and didn't like the one you got, so you are now trying to justify your own ignorance and bad decisions by resorting to insults and "you were not there" excuses? Grow a pair and move on.

Knowing the output of the Bi-Xenon vs the regular lights should be a no-brainer for everyone with the active curve illumination there are no other choices to consider. The cost is so well worth it. Glad I have it. I also just bought an RC F Sport and it has LED's that's where everything is going.
About throwing codes i am pretty sure it will because the Bi-Xenon lights have a different resistance value that the computer is looking for.
