If I'm not mistaken when you replace normal bulbs with hid bulbs you retain the stock lens which is set-up for a regular halogen bulb. The gov has determined this causes to much glare and is a potential danger to other motorist.

Here are some alternatives
They all work quite well, however the 100 watt bulbs will overheat the lamp and wiring.

Seems like a helluva lot work, why not just buy the HID's installed in the car from the factory to begin with? Time is money my friend and that looks like a major task that is gonna eat up a lot of time.

jrcart,
I have the OEM BiXenon. The part you may have missed is that I replaced the halogen High beam (all W211 have halogen high beam from factory). I believe all Mercedes Benz cars have halogen high beams. The problem is, we can over drive them in the blink of an eye. The stock BiXenon have great range, but the 50 watt HID is 5 times brighter and has a much larger envelope. You can see them at MIR in Nov.
WOW, that's awesome, I bet that is bright as Hell. Nice.
