2002 Mercedes S 430(GONE), 2001 E320(GONE), 2007 S550(GONE), 2009 BMW X6(GONE), 2014 S550
Example: My original headlight has part number A1A1A1, and it is broken, so if i go to dealer and tell them that i need "Headlight with part# A1A1A1", they will not have it. But if i give them my VIN# of my car, they will give exact same headlight for my car but it will have new part# A2A2A2
Used
Hope that helps

Hey guys! Reviving an old thread here, but I just performed the headlight upgrade on my car, as well. I used the following headlights from e-bay:
And I got the wiring harness from Chris the Swede.
Installation was straightforward, but I have a bit of a problem. While the headlights come on (low and high beams) and the turn signals work, it doesn't appear that my active cornering is working anymore. I get a dash error, "Active Headlamps Inoperative."
Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Coding is required? I thought the whole point of the cable harness was that it was "plug and play" and that coding wasn't required?
I guess I'm almost there; the lights look sweet!
Thanks, man!

No pics, yet! lol. Almost done. A piece of road debris destroyed my bumper, so I ended up doing a bunch of work at the same time... Replaced the radiator, replaced the bumper, and decided to upgrade the lights. The bumper needs to be buffed out, and I'm still waiting on the daytime running lamps. Then there will be pics!!

TO DJ_sham -- I just install the Diamond grille in my 2015 ML and like you I had to make some cuts but it worked. My problem is that the Mercedes Star that came on my 2015 is too small for the larger diamond grille. Question
Where do you get the larger star to fit the diamond grille Thanks.
