Bi-Xenons on '03 C class

Finally we have a C class with the bi-xenon lights ( a '03 C32).
Option code C4 is now the lighting package (formerly the heated seat package). Some pics:

What a deal, bi-xenons and a headlamp washing system for only $750. That's a good a bargain as the C7 package.

finally a real picture of the new C4 option. This dispels all myths and rumors. After seeing the real thing on a real lot, there's no question. i have to have the bi-xenons, they look great.

Don't get too excited, it's only on the sedans. Haven't seen anything on coupes yet and the lenses are not interchageable.

That looks horrible on the black car. MB should color cordinate the inside of the lense to match the color of the car.

Hi Young,

Yes it's a little dreary in West Chester today. God knows we need the rain. You can thank me for the rain, I had my new car detailed on Monday. Murphys law cannot be broken.

Yes it is a 2003 C32, Black w/ charcoal, Xenons, COMAND, and V60 phone. Who wants it?

Hey Bagwell, so they are available to replace the 2001 & 2002? If so, where did you get them and how much were they (I'm sure this one's going to hurt). Thanks

That would look neat. The Ferrari 360 and Porsche Carrera GT come to mind. I did a photoshop of how that would look at it turned out cool.

I will bring my camera to the dealer when I pick up my car. If the coupé I saw there yesterday (with bi-xenons) is still there, I'll ask if I'm allowed to take a picture. The bi-xenons for the coupé DO exist. I've seen them myself!

Frankly, I don't like them for aesthetic reasons. They remind me of altezza tail lights. But if that's inevitable (I mean - projector-type lights), then what can you do...

Vadim, trust me - once you see them LIVE and in your face (I saw a new CLK around dusk), you'll like them.

Those new projector bulbs look alot nicer then the older ones. I think the only people who might think otherwise are people who own the older ones and do not plan on upgradeing. Just like when the new W203 C class came out. I heard alot of people in the W202 forums saying that the W202 was still nicer then the W203. The lights are not even compareable. They resemble the SL projector lights. Thats just my thoughs on the matter.

No, I don't think so - you might say the same about altezza lights, too. I don't like the look of a clear shield with 3 round projectors inside. I like Audi's and BMW's headlights better.
