I know there have been previous threads, but none have shown where or how to buy the black headlihgts that sinyo1 has on his car. Does anyone have a phone number, website, or any info on how to buy these Blacked out headlights??

see this thread

Why don't you purchase the depo lights (that IMHO replicate the authentic BiX way better i.e. "not bad for 400 bux!!") and then take them to a body shop to spray the inside surrounds? Or have you thought of that yet.. Heck I can do it for you if you want me to.

Wow, those lights are awesome.

By the way, you can't exactly just "paint" Depo lights to get that look. If you notice, they're not standard-style projectors. They're more of a hybrid mix of regular headlights with projectors installed into them... kinda like E-class projectors, with the top turn signal part being the half-moon shape.

Man, I'd love some of those...

yes I spoke with him, and the lights are not painted, the innards (plastic?) is black.. I will be getting a set of these when he gets some more in. I will let you guys know what I think about them...

nope, I am waiting for the headlights still. I was talking with him last friday and he said that the 10 sets he is waiting on were held up and should be in early this week. I will be talking to him hopefully today to see if he has received them yet. I am very anxious to get and install all the stuff!!!

nope, what happened is his shippment was help up at customs(??) so its still there. Well since it was taking so long he had just two sets shipped to him (he said these wont go through customs somehow) and should be in next week and shipped right over to me. I am crossing my fingers though....

I read somewhere that the C-Class (don't know if its the C230 or C32) has auto levelling for the headlights.
I wonder if these aftermarket headlights will have the same function as well.

yes I did recieve them, and I purchased them from the guy on ebay that is listed just above this post. I had them installed one week ago and I love them, they look great. I havent had time to take pics of them but plan on it this weekend and will post them here. I have had the car washed 2x since then and no leaking. The black part inside is NOT paint, it is black plastic so it wont peel. I have 8000k HID's installed in them and the light output works just fine. The light pattern isnt as good as the old stockers as far as dispersment, but it is good enough. No they do not have auto-leveling, but it is not needed.
if you guys have any specific questions please ask away....
