Yes, you should remove the bumper cover.

ok they're installed without removing the bumper...I did one side at a time...

When I was installing them I found 2 unused plugs near the windshield washer tank. I was wondering if those were the 2 other plugs for the BI-XENONS...maybe the autolevel ?? I doubt it but....you never know. Anyway these 2 plugs would need additional cables to go to the headlight assy - I went to MB parts counter and the guy told me there are 2 completely separate complete wiring harnesses for XENON versus Halogen cars....that there IS NO cable that can plug into the 2 that I found.

MBTECH can you check this out ??? what are those 2 plugs for a non-xenon car ?

thanks !
