OEM Xenon Questions

[mbsickness]

I just received a big box from UPS...OEM HIDs from Bekkers. I was going through the shett that came with the lights and it said that if i have the old version headlights I will need the updated trim pieces. Is this true? I have a 1996 C36 with the headlight wipers and the headlight housings that use the H4 bulb. Thanks in advance.

I think that any time you change from the old style HL (1996 and older) to the newer style (1997 and newer), you will need to change the trim piece. It's a very easy process, especially if you're already changing the HL housing.

So am I correct in assuming that I need to get the trims pieces painted? So much for an easy install.

or you could trim-out the old piece to fit into the newer headlight..

Some people did this instead of purchasing a new trim...

IT's a matter of choice whether you want to buy new piece or trim-out the old ones :)

yes it should...

All you need to do is bump the fuse for the headlight from 7.5A to 15A

(positive thinking )
