Has anyone installed these?

It has been a while and I couldn't find the previous thread about these lights, but I was just wondering if anyone else has bought and installed these lights and what they think of them.

Makes the C-Class look more as the E-Class...

Did you noticed?

Just look at an E-Class headlights carefully and you'll notice what I mean...

Look Good!

Halogen projector headlights, custom made by sinyo (I think)? They've got a black interior housing (instead of chrome), but these are also not bi-x, just projector for Halogen headlight replacement.

Plus, in case someone failed to notice, they appear to be painted black as well. For further question on these style lights, painted or not, JimBanville had posted a thread about them. Please search for it as it most likely already contains answers to your questions.

I think they are cast in black plastic. They do not appear to be the same quality as the OEM housings. If you have a black car they might be cool.

I don't really like them myself.

Sinyo1 has them, I know coz I saw his car in person. I saw him at a parking lot in front of a supermarket...those rims caught my attention first, then he headed towards me and saw those headlights, not bad (I was wondering if hes on this board) then as he passed by me I saw his plate "Sinyo 1" and I know I have seen this username here. Nice car man.

Actually I think thats his car in the pic above.

I Komprz is right, that is a picture of Sinyo1's car. I was just wondering if anyone else has them and if they like them. My next mod will be the headlights and because I do not want to spend that much $ money on them I have been thinking of purchasing these or the look-a-like bi xneons as discussed in the "not bad for 400 bux!" thread.

Doesn't any body search any more? All it takes is Jim Banville's post and a can of black spray paint from their local hardware store.

How does this thread suck? I have asked what I would like to think is a valid question. What's the point of having an open forum when one cannot ask for opinions?

Drex, wassup man. Seriously, I have spent so much time on putting those together for fellows on this board and I am happy to see everyone likes them. I gotta have enough qty to job it out to my buddy's shop, so I can get them machined. The rest is just easy....many have asked me and I told them to get a group buy list going...for at least like 20 sets. I guess it never happened. :p

oh by the way...I am sorry for stealing the thread...now back to the headlights topic ... :p :p
