This option was only about $1500 if ordered new on the car. I didn't. 
For that money and just the same effect, you could get a $250 easy DIY kit plus a whole new suspension. OTOH, if the money is burning a hole in your pocket and you must stay "stock", we understand but we can't help you.

FWIW, I made a set out of "factory" parts for about $600. The ballasts are indentical to those used in many 90's MBs. You can also reuse your headlight housings (I didn't have to). You just need the internal projector and bulbs. They bolt into the non-xenon light housings.

maybe you could post a DIY. The xenon issue comes up often.
