Scott- Dave answered everything. FWIW, Stu Ritter has the low-beams come on with the high-beams on the H4, and so far no problems that I've heard of.

Relays and 10-ga. wire along with Hella hi-temp H4 connectors, and 130/100 will IMHO will outshine any HID being FORCED into 500E headlamp assembly.

Also, since you're installing that Mac audio system, get the 143 or 150 Amp alternator ASAP used from Silver Star Recycling in Sacramento. Be sure to install a new regulator assembly ($50) from PartsLane.

143-amp alternator: 009.154.56.02
150-amp alternator: 010.154.71.02
Regulator MB PN#: 002.154.92.06, ask for BOSCH equivalent

Tell parts yard to only find an alternator with a *non-melted* plastic center-bearing race.

The 150-amp alternator has a plastic vent-scoop.

BTW: Anyone know what the proper adjusting procedure for the H3 "pencil-beam" and foglights are on the 500E? I couldn't find it on the CD-manual.
