I think you need to get the XENON=YES setting changed via the STAR diagnistics system.

sorry how do i do that

I think you will need to take it to an MB dealer or an indie if you can find one with a STAR machine.
I am fairly certain this needs coding but others will correct me if I am wrong when the sun comes up.

Its a sad day when you have to plug into the ECU and change settings just to make the headlights switch on in a car

Not going to be any help as I picked mine up during a business trip in Germany. Bought OE units (+-1100 euros).
