Hi,
Are the W210 original Xenon lights made of a glass lens.If I get the Xenon headlight assembly can I put it in a W210 with regular headlights.

My undestanding is you can plug and play the headlights into a non-xenon equipped car but you may get a warning about having a light out unless you have the dealer re-program the computer to tell it you have equipped it with the xenon units.

I don't know what the lenses are made of on the Xenon units but I would bet that they are not glass - probably the same plastic as the Halogen lights with different dispersion patterns in it is all.

To get Xenon headlights you need to replace the entire light assembly, not just the bulbs. OEM ones are pretty costly...as I recall about $800 each.

I am going to replace the entire assembly with a new original Xenon assembly.The assembly does not include the bulbs.There are bulbs that have Xenon as high beam and ones that has Xenon as low beam.Which ones would I put into this assembly.

These are not bi-xenon units. Those were not available until the W211. The high-beams stay with the H7 bulbs that the car currently uses.
