$1000 For OEM Bosch 03-05 Headlights?
$1000 For OEM Bosch 03-05 Headlights? a salvage yard in texas quoted me this price, i tried telling them 950.00 and they said no to that offer, they originally wanted 1200.00, this is for oem bosch Bi-xenon headlights, question will these plug right in if i get them or do i need a special adapter?i have a 2002 s500 with xenon headlights.

Yes you need special adapter.
Take a look at those pics attached.
I bought them at http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com
with whole xenon headlight unit with ABC update.
I'm gonna put em tomorrow morning after install that need reset the cpu.
and , there is a thing you need to know.
If your car has washing headlight unit on front bumper side.
have to remove your whole bumper first with extra-care.
cause , there are little ( not big ) motor pump for washer.
anyway good luck!!!
and last pic is my new amg style exaust ~

It is dificult but possible.
all you need to do is : find the genius mechanic.
I tried to do it myself today mornig. now 1 oclock sharp.
First , taking off the front bumper... don't try it if you don't have car lift which is at the mechanic shop. - who said that is eazzzzzy!!!!
Second , wire stuff... at this part you need professional people.
some of dealer said it's not possible, but it IS possible.
I luckly found the man who could do that wire job at burbank area.
and I'll update you later after next tuesday.
Good luck!!!

Haven't you been hanging around these forums long enough to know by now that dealers don't do any mods???

i thought all you needed was an adapter plug and thats it, they told me you dont need to remove front bumper to get headlight out.
