Not sure about headlights...

Hi all, this is my first post on here and I wanted to know how do I determine if I have Bi-Xenon headlights or not?! I've heard that my headlights will be a bright whitish/blue if they are, but mine are slightly yellowish.

Yes they should be a whitish blue. Also pop the hood an you should see yellow stickers on top of the plastic housing near the lights that have a yellow lightning bolt and 25000V printed on the sticker

The lightening bolt/sticker indicates Bi-Xenon equipped is what you mean? Thank you for your help!

usually if you have headlight washers and led tail lights, you should have factory bi-xenons.

All Mercedes in the US that have factory Bi Xenon's "lighting package" also have headlamp washers. Fastest way to tell just look at the front bumpers, under the headlamps and you will see the door flaps for the washer nozzles.
