2007 S550 2000 S430 and 2003 SL500 (for sale)
STAR diagnostic computer

Hello,

I have a 2000 S430 in the bay area, CA. (US). I am tring to find someone that can turn on the " Xenon On" feature on my S430, via the STAR daig system. I went to several dealers and they are giving me the run around. Can someone tell me if they know any that can help me in the bay area.

I bought some Xenon Headlights to replace my non-Xenon lights.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I drop by dealer today and ask them to change the Comand analogous bose setting, they charge me $153 for that. So I decided to do it later together with xenon update.

Avoid the Service Advisors - make friendly with one of the technicians and bring a 5-pack of beer.

In the good old days, only two beers were required - one for you and one for the tech., now the other techs hanging around want one too.

Can somebody confirm that the xenons will really have issues if computer is not set to xenon on? I thought the worsest would be a defective lamp error in the dash. Some claim the xenon actually flickers if computer is not set. I got the feeling this is due to day time running light feeding only half power to the lights.

when i had my w202 i retrofitted a set of oem xenons from a c43 pace car and i never once had a problem with them. they never flickered or anything. i remember some people that did similar installs with the bekkers xenon units for the w202 had to change out a fuse to get them to work.
