Bi-xenon Option

Can someone explain exactly what this option is and what lights one gets without this option.

Also, can this option be installed by the dealership after delivery?

Iam not sure exactly, I have to check, but from my own experience, you will get halogen headlights (i think) or you might get Xenon headlights with Halogen high beam, but i recommened this option ... well highly recommend it, the same xenon headlight is also a high beam when you flash, seen that on the C55 when we were testing it, I actually went out of the car , and asked my friend to flash the high beams, i think the normal headlight xenon atually moves upwards everytime you flash, this is what i have seen personally, other than that it might be magic LOL LOL LOL

to answer the other part of the question, the dealership might install it later, but its a hassle plus expensive, just get it CP1

The Bi-xeon headlights have the side slits in the main headlamp to give it that really cool glow from the side, they also have the anti dazzle funtction which will mean you don't cause accidents with your exteme headlights that can see through time. The reason they are called bi xeons believe it or not, is not because they use two globes, but because two reflectors are used for the same globe or somthing tricky like that which we are assured makes driving alot safer. Anyway the the whole thing is it makes the car look a whole lot better, will increase the resale value and and you will be safer driving around. What ever you do, do not get aftermarket xeons on the slk, they would have to butcher the headlights to fit all the stuff in and would ruin the car.

bi-xenon's lamp housing will change between hi and low beam to project the light in either diffused (low beam) or focused (high beam). Unlike old xenon, halogen isn't used for high beam.
