I just recently purchased a 2013 C350 4Matic Coupe with the stock halogen headlamps. I previously owned a 2008 C300 and used an HID conversion kit to get the look I was achieving. However, I feel it may be an even cleaner look to install a projector lamp AND the HID conversion kit.

I found that these mock the OEM BiXenon headlamp rather well -

Does anyone have any suggestions on an HID conversion kit that may be compatible with this setup?

He can set you up with an HID conversion kit that should work perfectly with these aftermarket projector headlights.

I appreciate the information. I'll shoot him an email and see what kind of feedback he has for me.

I'm trying to do the same thing to my 2014 C250 coupe before this summer, so if you find a solution would you please mind updating us here?

So it looks as if Michael was able to clear this up while offering a solution. I'll be purchasing the headlamps in my original post in the next few weeks and once installed, I'll purchase the HID Conversion kit as Michael suggested. I'll get pics and any install tips once that has been completed. In the mean time, let me know if you move a bit quicker on this.


So the 2013 w204 took a step back from your pre-facelifted w204 in terms of the housing. At least with the 08 you had halogen projectors. Now with the facelifted model, you don't even have projectors, just reflectors. The headlight replacement unit looks to be the DEPO replacement which many have switched to. You'll want to pair that with an HID conversion kit which we can help you out with. We carry top shelf Morimoto HID kits which will be plug and play. These kits retail $150/kit and comes with a 5 year warranty. Offered in 4500K soft white, 5000K pure white, and 6000K white with a slight bluish hue.

Is azoptics the website your ordering from?

I'll be purchasing the headlamp assembly from the ebay listing I posted in my original post. Once installed, I'll verify if the lighting output is what I was looking to achieve (most likely won't be).

I can then install the HID Conversion kit that AZNOptics suggested. The important thing is that i'll be moving to the projector headlamps which alone should improve the look and light output.
