I ordered an E300D in '96, took delivery in April and I added the Xenon lights. I was disappointed when I learned that they were low beam only. What's the point? Even with the Xenon on low beam only I had great lights. I drive lots of narrow, hilly, winding Farm road at night so great lights are an absoluted necessity. I only drove the car a little over 70,000 miles, but I never had any trouble with them.

I did not even think of adding them to my C Class when I bought it, but now that they have the bi-xenon, I would like to try them on my winding, dark roads.

psfred, it sounds like you have great vision. I'm not blessed with that positive attribute, at least not any more. Because of your good vision, your eyes might be more sensitive than most.

Have a great day,
