Topic: Mercedes c class bixenon auto levelling

[thejack]

Hello there, I'm a european driver and I own a Mercedes c class. I would like to know if I can fit the bixenon headlight without doing crazy job. I mean, auto levelling troubles or stuff like that. Somebody told me that the headlight has a control unit with a built in auto level sensor and control. But when I get the car to the technicians they said it is not true. Somebody can help me in this hard job?

You can buy an HID kit from the aftermarket world that will not have the auto levelling feature.  It'll replace your stock halogen bulb with an HID bulb.  You will have to install the HID unit itself into the vehicle.  It isn't hard to install youself.  You can buy it on many internet stores.  Expect anywhere from $600-$1100 CAD for the kit.

Thank you for your reply.
I did it. The problem is that a reflector headlight generates glare so each incoming driver remains flashed. I just want to turn the car into original bixenon equipment. The only doubt is related to the auto leveling system. I bought a pair of bi xenon original headlight. Have to plug and play or just get crazy?
Thanks for any help

Thejack - I don't know about the C-Class specifically, but I do know that a VW Passat for example can accept European Bi-Xenons that will plug and play into the wiring harnesses - BUT they do not have the necessary sensors to enable automatic levelling.  There is significant wiring and sensor placement to enable auto levelling, and most people do not do it.  It is a tough job.  
It may be that its the same for your C-Class.  There may be a manual levelling motor and switch that is easier to install, but will not adjust automatically while driving.
