I have an S430 with standard halogen lights. Would like to upgrade to XENON lights. Can i take the XENON lights from S500 and install them on my S430? Is it plug and play? Any information anybody has out there please advise.

Thanks,

lds

I have the same car and had the same question. I called the MB dealership and they said it cannot be done. I don't remember the reason they gave me, but it sounded reasonable at the time.

Too bad for both of us. If the $14,000 Mazda 3 comes w/ Xenon standard, the S430 should too, don't you think!!!

Otherwise I love the car, though.

What year are you guys's cars? The dealer in San Francisco does them for 92's and above at a cost of $2500.00 per side - perhaps a little cheaper!

Halogen bulbs headlamps can certainly be upgrade to Xenon.
dealers say "no, you can't do it, and $%^&*&^^& reason" because xenon headlamps are FACTORY OPTIONS.
If a dealers upgrade the headlamps for its customers, the dealer will have to take full resposibility of warranty issues.
So deales usually don't want to take the risk

a consideration must also be taken that the lamps are also monitored, and by modification... you might get the "check light" message from the instrument cluster.

In reply to "MioClk" - the dealer in Sacramento - VonHousen Mercedes does the job!

As long as both cars are the same chassis style (year range) it is a bolt in conversion with minor wire mod. (plug pin reassignment)
