Q&A

Q1: Can I use this to upgrade from halogen?
A1: No — halogen to xenon conversions require different wiring, modules, and coding. This unit is for factory Xenon-equipped A-Class (W176) only.

Q2: Does it come with bulbs and ballast?
A2: No — transfer these components from your existing headlamp, or purchase new OEM replacements separately.

Q3: Does it fit AMG Line models?
A3: Yes — fits both standard and AMG Line A-Class trims with factory Xenon headlamps.

Q4: Will it require coding?
A4: If reusing your original modules, typically no coding is required. If replacing ballasts or ECUs, variant coding/adaptation may be necessary.

Q5: Is this left or right side?
A5: Lamps are side-specific. On right-hand-drive vehicles, Left = driver side, Right = passenger side. Confirm side before ordering.
