2012 ML350 Bluetech
Xenon instead of projector
Good Afternoon guys I just purchased a 2012 ML350 Bluetech. Only has 48k miles, hell of a deal.
Anyway my idiot self forgot to check if the regular bulbs were xenon or regular halogen projector. They are projector, Ive been looking online and have found a set of the xenon headlight units for a reasonable price. I was wondering if anyone knew if I can straight swap the MB xenon headlight units for mine. They both come with the convertor but when I called the dealership to get a price on a new set they did not want to sell me one. Any information helps thank you.

Azn optics has a hid retrofit. It's probably much cheaper than your solution.
Please read the following article. http://www.stephensservice.com/bluet...ssuesproblems/
Start thinkgng about a tune to get rid of the emissions system. Perform an engine flush and the following deffered maintenance kits.
Please visit the diesel forum and read up about issues with the om642 engine and possible things to alleviate some of the design faults.
Best of luck. There was a reason it was a hell of a deal. Please go into this car eyes open and you can and will thoroughly enjoy the full benefits hhe car has to offer.
These are some deferred maintenance kits from fcp euro. Keepin mind they also have a lifetime replacement guarantee so you'll get your money back on anything you return including oil.
I highly recommend the step 1 package.
