I just put some bi-xenon aftermarkets on my 02 ML500. Got them on ebay, a little under $500 delivered. They have an LED setup running along the bottom to make it look like the newer lights. Some others on the board have used these.

If you can't figure out which ones, I will look up the ebay vendor.

Regards,
Jerry

How do you like those eBay HIDs with LED? I was thinking about getting those but I already have the bixenon retrofitted into the headlights (so I'd essentially be wasting that). Are the LEDs bright like OEM cars? How do you turn on the LED, with the fog light switch next to your nav screen?

Haven't had much time with them, but they seem fine. I have 6000k low beams.

The low beam cutoff is terrific, not so sure about the high beam. And the bulb seems a little yellow, so I have to get out at night on some dark roads and see how the high beams perform.

Only complaint is I will have to take one out to adjust the vertical. The horizontal can be adjusted while installed.

The lower LED is part of the running light, so it should be on whenever the lights are on. I did check it in the parking/running light position, and I believe the same is true when the low beams are on.

If you already have bi xexon, it wouldn't make much sense to get these.

Regards,
Jerry

I've had hids on mine for a few years now with no problems. I like them and they were cheap.
