10. Now all that's left is wiring up the ballasts. On mine I mounted the philips ballast to the bottom of the headlight just like the factory. I also did the capacitor trick (it's in the w211 forum under hid sticky). The wiring is the same as installing an aftermarket "rebased" kit. For the bi xenon portion (getting the xenon high beams to work) I simply tapped into the factory high beam wiring (made it look factory too) to turn the solenoids on when hitting the high beams. It doesn't draw that much current so it will not throw any bulb error codes. At least on mine it doesn't. Now when I switch on the high beams I have the bi-xenon high beams and the factory 55 watt high beams. Let's just say "let there be light". It is extremely bright.
bumpin' a 3 YO post. I happen to have both e55 and audi projectors. Searched high & low, but I don't see anything about wiring up the bi-xenon solenoid on the forum.

I see this pix:

but timannnn's solution seems a LOT easier... will tapping the high beans eventually kill the solenoid? I'd think so.

Hi Yacht Master,

I tried installing active bixenon headlight on my 2007 E350 with halogen headlight but when I turn the light on it wouldn;t light up. Is this normal unitl the reprogramming occurs?
