i have a 2005 c230 and i was thinking about adding in xenon lights, im going to try to go to mercedes to get them installed. Do you think i should do it and how much do you guys think it is going to cost?

 

Several thousand dollars for the light if not more if you buy them thru Mercedes, and labor, hard to say, from what I read about this mod, it takes a while to do.

go to www.performanceproducts.com and click on their Mercedes catalog, they sell the Xenon light conversations kits, and they ain't cheap. If your want the look and have the money that is OK, but if you need more light at night get a set of Sylvania Silver Star hologen bulbs, they light up the nite like day. I have poor night vision and got these bulbs and I have very little problems seeing well now night driving.

 

I have pretty much the same car as you do but its a 2003 c320 well my car comes with Bi-Xenon Low and Hight Beams. So your car might already have it. Try checking your manuel

 

It is usually the most expensive way to go. That is, adding a factory option from the dealer after taking delivery of your car.
My car came with Xenon High Intensity Discharge headlamps. While I'd not pay to convert to them, I really enjoy having them.

 

you have to spend some money for that..
my buddy purchase mercedes parts at partstrain.com he had been a satified customer since then, try to check it, you might find bi-xenon lights for your car.

 

SilverStar is really good. But keep a set of spares in the glove box because they do NOT last long.

 

so im at the sylvania silver star website, im thinking of just getting the bulbs because i asked HBL my dealer for HIDS but they said it will be 4000 dollars [:-] so yeah im going to try and order it from silver star since it seems more trustworthly. can you guys tell me what kind of bulbs or bulb size i need? 2005 C230 kompressor

 

The proper bulbs are listed in your owner's manual. You should replace all the bulbs. Not only the headlights, but the fog lamp bulbs as well. Don't be disappointed if you don't see a huge difference... because you won't. There is a little difference, however.

Why not just go to AutoZone or PepBoys or such and get them? They're easy to find and you won't have to wait for UPS to delivery them. They'll also probably be cheaper than ordering from the manufacturer.
