Bi-Xenon Upgrade on a 1998 ML320
The 1998 ML320 does NOT need to be reprogrammed by the dealer. However the wiring needs to be changed. Some of the pins on the headlight assembly plug must be moved and an extra ground jumper must be added. All modifications to the wiring can be made on / behind the headlight's plug. No modifications are needed to the turn signal light plug and no modifications are needed to the factory wiring. Note: the headlight assembly plug just pops out by pushing the plug to one side.

same here. Projector housings used slightly different wiring setup than pre-facelift halogens.
Take your halogens and your new projectors to a car audio shop. They're experienced with automotive wiring, and should be able to do it much easier than if you were to bring it to a mechanic (My MB mechanic recommended this too)
They should be able to look at the wiring from the original halogens and modify the wiring housing on the new projectors to match the old wiring setup.

My gf has a 2000 ML320, does this wiring solution still apply to her car or do I need to take it to the dealer?
Was thinking about getting these aftermarket headlights:

They seem like they'd be plug and play since they have their own HID kit with it. Anyone have any experience doing this?

Pop out the old and pop in the new. It's not rocket science to take out the headlights. Just test your new housings in lowbeam, high beam, fogs (if applicable) and flash your hazards to test turn signals.
If all works then no problem. If not (eg: only high beams come on) compare the wiring between old and new. If different, bring to car audio shop. Dealer will just overcharge you, fudge it up, or say it can't be done at all.
