Mercedes S430 '00
Retrofitting OEM Xenon light to 2000 S430 w/o Xenon option
I bought OEM Xenon headlights w/ ballasts from ebay. Do I just replace my stock headlamps and use the stock wires and switch the fuse to 40? I emailed the person I purchased from about the wires as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have a 2000 S 430 (W220)

Also, for my model year, do I have to get the dealer to use STAR to turn Xenon on?

I want to do this also. Dizzy, how much did you pay for the kit? What did the MB Dealer tell you about putting them on? I'm sure they've done a couple.
