2003 SL55: How can I tell if it has Bi-Xenon lights?
I am about to pull the trigger on this car, but I want to make sure it has HID/Xenon lights. How can I tell?
Also, what other options were available for the SL55 in 2003? the only ones I know this car has are keyless go and pano roof. It does not have Distronic, Ventilated seats, SAT radio or Parktronic. Am I missing anything?
Thanks

or, shine headlights onto nearby wall. cover the high beams with a dark towel,
then flip on the HIGH beam to see if the low beam becomes super bright as a
result. if so, you have bixenon, as this indicates the shield is moveable and has
pivoted to reveal the full beam.

The easiest thing to do is take the VIN to the dealer and have them run the car for the options.
In '03 you could get:
Pano roof
keyless go
Xenon headlights
parking sensors
vented seats
various wood trim packages
5 spoke wheels instead of the multi spoke
