Old xenon to Bi-xenon
 
Someone asked me if the newer bi-xenon head lamps from a 2003 S500 would retrofit into an older 2001 S500 with ordinary xenon head lamps.
HMMMMMM?

Well Doc,
I just don't know if the signal for high beam from the front SAMs of the 2001 will switch the solenoids of the bi xenon headlamps for high/low beam in the headlamp units from the '03.

The SAM doesn't care if the system is Halogen OR Xenon...current draw is less with Xenon.

It can be done..I have done several Updated Xeons...You Will need the correct Connectors/plugs and Pins...As the New style headlights are different

Really?
Xenon to Bi-xenon?
Bi-xenon uses a shutter to change illumination intensity from high to low beam and vise-versa. Do you think the first version Xenon operation is similar enough from the Sam's standpoint?
thanks,
dpk
