Did you new headlight assemblies not come with the bulbs already installed? Your stock H7 bulb is Halogen not HID, it is the low beam for your Xenon's, Did you have them re-wired by the seller to except the ML55 harness??? plug and play??? I got mine from the same seller..

Much better looking........

Very easy to install, 3 bolts to remove, Take notice of your headlight adjustment (adjustment/removal screws) behind headlight cladding right above my headlight washers,...and make sure the new ones are adjusted correctly,..I did not do this and had to re-adjust mine several times to get them correct and not blind oncoming drivers. LOL!! ..Good luck, PM me if I can help...

Thanks for the tips! BTW what type/brand of bulbs does they come with? I was looking to buy the new Philips CrystalVision Ultra bulbs to install with the new headlights.

My current headlights don't have front fog lamps (I do have the wiring and the switch working) I got Philips CrystalVision ULTRA (Super White) H1/H7/H3

The fog ones are H3. You can see all bulbs on http://www.suvlights.com/information.php?info_id=17

Can't wait to get the new headlights!

Changing mine today. to PIAA super white it's a H3 bulb, easy too, just pry off the front cover (be careful) and for the fog light assembly twist off the black cover and the whole thing comes out, reverse proceedure to put back on...
