Does anyone know where to buy bi xenon housings ?
I already have xenon lamps on my 02 c320, can I just transfer the bulb and the ballast to the bi xenon housings or do I need to buy the whole kit ?
Thanks

Bi-xenons

It would probably be easier to get the whole thing. The bulbs are similar but not identical. There should be a good market for your xenon's.

bi-xenons

I'm also looking to upgrade my xenons to bi-xenons on my C320. Let me know where I can order them too. [:)] I've looked everyehere online. Can't find them. MB dealer said it can't be done, [:eek:)] but they know nothing about performance upgrading. They were amazed that 19's fit my C320. [:p]

I see that you've already posted in the group buy thread. They have the MB OEM Bi-Xenons for your C-class [:)]

Xenon to B-Xenon

Of course you can convert to Bi-Xenon. It's plug and play. The problem is that the front bumper must be removed. I caved in and had the dealer do it, about $200US. I paid about $1300 for the pair of assemblies from the same dealer, a good discount.

you can purchase the a set of bi-xenon from ww.performanceproduct.com , i think u better buy the whole set though, there is no such thing to alter the bulbs from xenon to the bi-xenon housing as i know, if they can and for sure it would cost you a lot.

Bi-xenon swap

Just recently switched from the older xenons to the new bi-xenons on my brother's C32. Took about 1 hour doing it because the front bumper had to be removed. Swapping the lights took just 10 minutes and reinstalling the bumper took 15. Since it had already xenon lights no reprogramming was required. Its totally plug and play. Paid $1500 for everthing.

No one has yet mentioned that...

The bulbs in the OEM HIDs you have are different than the bulbs in the OEM bixenons. So even if you could get the housings, you couldn't just transfer the bulbs in and have it work properly.

bixenon

i thought the new bi xenon are movable like an electro eye? when you turn, the lighting turns too so you can see the road during cornering?
when i start my C32, the xenon lights go vertically upward and downward twice to adjust the proper height.

or my bixenon lights have problem?
