Does anyone know of another place besides Performance Products to buy a Complete Bi-Xenon Light Assembly for a 1999 ML320.
Also, my '99 has the fogs programmed next to the stock halogen headlamps (where flash-to-pass would be on the newer assembly). The connector for the programmed fogs, would not be used for flash-to-pass on the new Bi-Xenon assembly? Is that correct?
That is correct. If you want fogs when adding the 2002 lights, you can add a set external fogs and connect them to the already prewired cable for this. (It is located next to the fan) The dash switch also switches this fog cable.
If you do get the bi-xenon's you'll probably find that you won't need the foglights for the light as the xenons do such a great job. You may however want the fogs for the visual appeal.
When I looked for the Xenon lights, PP offered the best deal with a 10% discount to BW members.
You can also check the site sponsors for other sources. E n g i s o f t (the web server would not allow me to enter the name correctly) also offers them, and usually matches prices.
Finally, I too have a 99. As far as I can tell, there is no programming required for the Xenons. I watched the shop forman look in the computer to see if they could find a setting to change, but there was nothing. Mine were just plug and play.
what about installing bi xenons for a 2001 ml320. would that be plug and play or would i have to go to the dealer and have them program it to work? I mean, i already have xenons, but i want to updated look of the 2002+???[:D]
Plug and play from PP. You need a pigtail adapter which they include. By far the most useful upgrade for a pre-02 - other than a blower of course![}:)]
