Anyone know of any Angel eye headlights for W202?
I have done some extensive searching on the net only to come up empty. It's not usual for a Mercedes but I happen to like the look. If I can't find them I was planning on modifying the W202 projector headlights commonly found on ebay and fitting them with the angel eye rings from a set of Hella foglights I own. I really would prefer to find an already integrated set of Angel eye headlights. Anybody with any good leads? Appreciate any positive feedback on this matter

i dont own a W202 or a BMW but i think that Angel Eyes look very nice...very nice on BMW's and BMW's ONLY....none of this ford mustang, f-150, and any other car that has an angel eye set up available should even dare to put them on...thats just my opinion. i happen to own a Mercedes and respect what anyone does to his or her car but i dont think that angel eyes should be put on any other make than BMW. Not trying to knock your idea but just what i think.

I see what you're saying, however...
Every trend starts somewhere and the Angel eyes setup is hardly exclusive to BMW. Hella Corp owns the rights for what they patented as "Corona Lights". It just happens to be what you are used to seeing. The current trend with HID's began somewhere as did the one with projectors. If that were the case then I imagine most Benz "purists" would've had heart attacks upon learning that new Mercedes-Benzes would all come with projector beam HID headlights only. Like previously mentioned, I definitely appreciate your point of view. Who knows? I might indeed see the light and decide it's not worth the hassle!
