Need Help With SL63 HEADLIGHT CONVERSION

My 03 sl55 - 09 sl63 conversion. Need help with the Headlight Mount/Bracket. Was told the new headlight mount bracket should line up perfectly, so im not sure if i ordered wrong part. Attached are pics, one with old headlight bracket that lines up perfectly and one with new bracket that doesnt line up. These are the part numbers for the new Mount/Brackets I ordered: 2306200491 and 2306200391

Can anyone with the sl63 conversion chime in?

you have to have the right part # for a sl63, they should be able to determine that before they order it

If you don't mind me asking how much has or, how much do you figure, all the parts will cost to perform this conversion (parts, not paint or labor)?

I dont know about it, I never did this, but you probibly have the wrong part and you need them to re check it or have MB look up the right part

yes those are the correct parts. the new style bracket goes under the re-bar, where as the old style bracket sits on top of the re-bar.
