Question New Headlights

Hi all,

I know we can get some HID's replacements, but does anyone know of a manufacturer that is making non-HID replacement headlight assemblies for the W202. I'm thinking of something that would look cooler (IMHO) than stock, such as a clear lens with projectors built in (like the new volkswagens & most other new cars)?

The Euro head lamp lens may be clear or have a different light pattern besides the US DOT standard spec...

Hmm... shure do like the look of that Xenon, however, don't like that price

Anyone know if there is anything out there that looks similar but is not Xenon?

I'd rather spend that kind of money on true performance mods. Not that better lighting isn't a good thing. Yet, when talking that kind of dough, I personally would rather be investing in improvements having to do with speed or stopping power!
