Hi

I've just bought a 2005 C220 Avantgarde with sport pack, does this car come with with xenon's, the lights are much better than my previous car but I thought it was a requirement to have headlight washers with xenons and mine doesn't.

You can always see the ring in the center of the lamp and they have clear glass

If it has xenons it must have headlamp washers too, if original MB

Could be previous owner fitted upgraded bulbs?

Thanks for the replies :)

Will check in the morning but I don't think mine has them, are they difficult/expensive to retro fit?

Close to £1800 in parts, £830 per headlight!

If you PM your VIN to me I can quickly ascertain if you have xenons
