I've got a 2006 W211 320CDI which had bi-xenon headlamps fitted from new. I crunched it in Jan. The garage needed to replace the full o/s headlamp unit. All went fine for a couple of months, until the new headlamp failed. Merc Dealer swapped the unit under warranty as they had supplied the...
Now my digits fall well short of what you might describe as a bunch of bananas but I can't believe how difficult it is to reach the side light bulb within a W203 Bi-xenon headlamp unit.
I picked up two new bulbs tonight from the dealer - supposedly white rather than standard yellow glow - to...
I am told there is a switch behind the headlights which allows the headlight alignment to be changed for driving abroad in mainland Europe. Does anyone know where this 'switch/knob/button/lever' is please.
Is it possible to adjust my bi-xenon headlamps? They are pitched just a little too high. (No, there isn't an adjustment wheel alongside the light switch).
They were adjusted at the first service by MB, but now seem to have crept up again.
Having fitted bi-xenons to my coupe, had to adjust them. I have done this using the manual adjuster on top.
However, there are 2 adjusters, one slightly more recessed which does not appear to do much. The other one adjusts vertical height of beam.
Does anyone know what the other one does?
Many...
I have bi-xenon HID headlamps. Lovely intense blue-white colour. It bugs me that the full beams/sides and the fogs are yellow.
Does anyone do a replacement kit so all bulbs look a similar colour? Or is this a standard Halfords/Joe's Car Spares job?
Cheers,

I have been doing some background reading around this subject and everything I have found supports the forum's generally held view that only genuine xenon lighting units (i.e not modded halogens with xenon bulbs) can be fitted and the car remain legal.
Also, that legally xenons must have an...
Hi guys, im thinking of fitting some to my subtley modded 190e but cant decide if i want to go for 4300k (pure white) or go a bit more extreme blue/purple just to be original

Hi
6 months ago I bought a pair of bi-xenon headlamps for my 2002 W203, but I am now partexchanging the car, I have removed the lamps and want to sell them, I want to get the best price, they were £1500 new.
Can anyone please guide me on their re-sale value?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I have the headlamp units to upgrade to Bi-Xenon, and know that I must have xenon=present set using star, Does anyone know What would happen if I had this done before I changed the lamps over?
I know from other threads that if I dont do this the xenons will blink from time to time, but wil...
I have a fault on one of my factory installed Bi-xenon lights on a W203.
It does not come on when I first start the car but will come on after a period of time driving and I switch the lights on and off a few times.
Any clues what's to blame?
It is definitely not the bulb.
Hi all
I've bought some bi-xenons for my w211 classic. I've been told this one can simply replace existing units for the bi-xenon ones and everything will work! Is this true?
I know on BMW's you have to get the dealer to flash the ECU, is this the case with the W211 too?
Thanks
Hi all
I have a questions about the w211 front lights. I'm trying to understand the different options that the car came in. At this moment I'm guessing that they are non-xenon, xenon and bi xenon! Is this true?
So far I've thought that my car did not have xenons, although it has projector...
I have just installed bi-xenon headlights on my 2001 W203. The connections were the same and now the low/high beam and indicators work with no problem, also the self levelling works as well.
But the side lights are not workihg.
Has any one else had this or know why this might happen?
Any...
Hi, need some help please. I've recently purchased a pair of original BiXenon Headlights from Ebay for my MB 2006 W203 C180. I took them to my local MB dealer and tried to get them to install for me; then started to realise that it was made for LHD. Is anyone knows how to convert them to RHD?
Does anyone know how to / what should be the height etc etc for your headlights.
When i changed the headlights over i copied the exact settings from the others however i feel the passenger side is just a bit high.
Am i better to take it in somewhere?
