another routine question, to answer your question, anything is possible, there was a thread about someone converting their halogens from Halogen to Bi-Xenon in the GLK thread. You can do it, given that you had bought the assembly, the housing is easy fit in, but the big issue is making sure you connecting it and make sure the lights and active illuminated curve works (meaning on turns/curves you see the lights move as you move the wheel) and the automatic high beams (meaning the high beams turn on at very dark places), you have to have someone who previously installed it and had no errors after do it, good luck, it might cost you too

hello i did it on my 2015 ml400 and it works great will take photos later and upload them on here, there are 2 methods of doing the conversion first option: is by buying the original mercedes ILS Headlights and installing them with conversion connectors and couple of modules and height sensors. option 2 is by buying a chinese kit and you install it yourself but they will program the headlights to your car after you do the installation. from the picture that you have on here i believe those are the chinese version headlights and they are LEDs but do work after they program them. you would just need a mercedes scanner to recode the headlight intelligent module to work with the new headlights. both options cost money, first option is basically doing it the factory way =, and the second option is the after market way.

This user went from Xenons to LED, so with this set, your welcome to change whatever you want, but your going to engage in a process thats a PITA more than anything else, including the money you will be spending.
