This a genuine question as both the handbook for my C55 and the MB dealer who charged me £132 yesterday (as not covered under my Tier 1 warranty) to supply and fit a dip beam bulb say one can't do it oneself.

Why is this?

Thanks.

Yes, that's what I was kind of figuring...and yet one can freely buying HID upgradekits on the 'net for all manner of other cars to retrofit. Aren't these basically the same thing?
