Adapter/Harness for bixenon headlight-part number?
Does anyone have or know how to look up a part number for the adapter on the
autolevel feature for the bixenon headlight?
I already traced the wires for the autolevel from the bixenon headlight and they match up with the old xenon headlights.
I'll post the pictures up when it's done.
S500 man posted the adapter for the bixenon high beams.
This harness is from autowerks.
Hopefully someone will know the part number, I want a clean plug-in. I don't want to start using terminals.
Thanks Frank.
That's great to hear about the 1:1 connection.
I'm excited to get this working.
One last thing regarding the highbeam. It's just one grounding wire to the brown one right?
There are some mixed messages regarding the 1st and 3rd wire that need grounding.
the ground is easy just get a ground wire...ground it in the engine bay, and plug it in the hole nearest to the grill..........in that little mb adapter.

S500 Man, so for the Right(passenger) headlight, it's the brown one.
You can see that little plug beneath the headlight.
On the left (driver) headlight, it'll still be the brown wire-for everyone else to see.
Check back for the DIY since you didn't get the autolevel to work
Ok I'm a bit confused. I was thinking to update my 2000 lights to an OEM set of Bi-xenon projector updated headlights. I was under the impression that all I need is some kind of harness that will allow for an easy install? Is that correct or am I completely mistaken. If someone can school me on how I'd have to go about making the conversion I'd appreciate it.

Sorry to those who pm me and I never answered back. I've been away from mbworld for awhile. Here's an update and mcssci had an excellent write up also while I'll provide the pictures

4. Assemble your wires into your 4-pin auto level plugs:
Insert the female ends of the A000 540 38 05 wires into the back of the new (4-pin) A000 153 08 42 plugs until they click into place.
Cut off the male ends.
The new plugs are labelled 1-4 next to each wire.
Cut the wires to the old plug and splice them to the new wires, matching blue to 4, black to 3, red to 2, and green to 1.

2 auto level plugs (4-pin) A000 153 08 42 (right)
cables for autolevel and ground. Quantity should be 10.

grounding for highbeam (notice they're both on the left for L and R headlight)
I am driving S 430 , 2001 and 2 days ago I asked the dealer to estimate the price for the Bi-Xenon . He told since my Original Headlights are Halogen is a lot of work to put in it and this is going to cost me $ 5000 .
Thanks, I know there are many out there who shared my frustration of trying to make this work, took me about 3 months everynight searching to track this company down in Germany... struggle no more friends (They take Paypal!)
After hours of searching this thread gave the exact directions how to upgrade your crappy 00-02 xenon to the 03+ bixenon
If I had to do it again I would probably just make my own connectors for the ground and auto level with some high quality female crimp connectors to shove into the pins on the headlights. All those wires and harnesses cost $80 shipped!
The new headlights are crazy bright compared to the old ones. I plan on selling all the old xenon parts to help pay for the new ones. I got the new ones off a wrecked car for about $300 shipped for everything which is crazy cheap. Which is a good thing because I'm a broke student.
My car has by xenon headlights factory I want to convert it to a projector I purchased some projector lights and there for Halogen models what do I need to do wiring wise to get these lights to work on my car which is originally for by xenon...... whoever can help me make these lights work I will ship My xenon lights to them and they’re in perfect working order. clear lenses and all they work perfectly. Just pay for shipping and you get My Bi xenon lights Free
