Which kit are you talking about? I thought the S-class headlights are already "cleared" as in no yellow when the lights are off.
Or are you talking about the clear look of the 2003 S-class?

AMG4Life,
I bought the 2003 Bi-Xenon lights and the problem is, the connector is different. As I have said on a previous post, the new connector has an extra pin which controls the shutter motor for the xenon high beams. In the old headlights, a halogen bulb was used for the high beams. Now, as to whether we can just forget about this pin in its entirety, that I cannot answer. I am afraid it might screw up the electrical system and possibly void the warranty. However, though, I am getting a relay built by an MB technician to connect the old halogen connector onto that extra pin controlling the new xenon high beams. I hope it works and I think it will so I will keep you updated in about 2-3 weeks. For now, if anyone else has a better idea, please let me know.

How much were the Bi-Zenons and where did you get them? I have a 2003 S430 Sport and was originally told that the head lights used Zenons for the regular lights but not the brights. I have discovered that was incorrect information and I miss the bright white light.
