Bi-Xenon headlights in our W203 Coupes, how many would purchace them if they were available? I may have a USA hook up for the Coupe Bi-Xenon headlights.

Bi-Xenon headlights are USA specs I believe. My source is requiring me to go to his contact at a MB dealership to make sure everything they sell will work. I will try to get photos when it happens. It was hard enough getting anyone with German contacts for the headlights.

Just spoke with the dealer of the Bi-Xenon headlights. He will lower the price for every 10 additional people we get to buy the units. Prices are NOT set yet.
Just a wild guess about $1300 for ten group buy, perhaps as low as $1000 if we get 20-25 to buy. That is half the MB list price.

Remember like the C32 brakes, these have to come from Europe, go through customs etc. And like anyone the dealer needs to make a little money.

I am going to ask the company if they will include W203 Sedans in the group buy. I know the actual costs are close to the same, so long as they have a large order and can make a little money on the order they will do it.

They are making me have them installed at a major MB dealer, but will let me take photos. They want to absolutely make sure these will work with no - Zero problems.

They are meeting with their european contacts today to get a better handle on the price.
I hope to have the bi-xenons installed Nov 7th now. It's my next day off during the week

I looked in classified, group buy area, nothing about the W203 C class Coupe bi-xenons. There were only 5 out of 2100 members at C sportscoupe.com with bi-xenons from the dealers.

I love the look. I see 3-4 W203 coupes a day, never seen one with bi-xenons in person.

Note this is not in their latest catalog. Brand new special order from Germany just for is Coupe nuts.

Note I will take photos of the install, I understand you just loosen
the bumper, remove old, install new and get them recognized by the computer.

I will see if we can get a good price on the MB dealership enabling the Bi-Xenons. At least for thought of us in "Sunny" California. So much smoke you can hardly see the sun :mad:

First answer to your questions:

Yes it was easy - plug and code

Yes - AutoStiegler Service Manager John will charge $50 for coding to xenon present. Many dealers won't bother to help.

Yes - Everything Performance Products sells is tested and complete - each headlight is DOT approved and comes with the ballast device attached to the headlight.

Performance has about 6 confirmed - Get your orders in now before the price goes up. $1100 if ordered now.

And No I don't get a cent - but I do Have Bi-xenons now and can't wait to drive at night.
