OEM bi-Xenon Vendor?

Hello folks.

I own a 2004 C230 Kompressor sedan.
I've had it for about a year now and it's a great car.

My car currently runs on the standard halogen lighting system.
I want to upgrade the lighting to the bi-Xenon system.

I'm having a difficult time searching online for a parts vendor that sells geniune OEM bi-Xenon lighting.

There are tons of colored bulbs and HID conversion kits but I want the real thing. I want to avoid turning my MB into a rice boy vehicle!

The parts department at the MB dealership will charge me a king's ransom.
Does anyone know a reputable parts vendor that sells genuine OEM bi-Xenon lighting systems?

Thanks.

It is extremely hard to find OEM Mercedes parts if you do not go through a dealer. I know that the factory kit comes with the headlights and washer kit mounted in the bumper. I think on my sticker the kit cost close to $8k.

I am the second owner but when I was looking for my w203 the bi-xenon was def a selling feature and something I wanted when searching. I know that you could get aftermarket kits but the projectors will not level on there own. Still not bad but the kits are still pretty expensive.

Check with Steve the Europimp (mbenznl), I think he had one set left. Also check ebay, sometimes you'll see them there. I believe when I priced it, the headlights were $1,600 each and you can get them online for about $1,200 each at Trademotion.
