Yes, they fit. All w203 model headlights (w/ exception to the c55) should be compatible.

Yeah. Sorry 'bout that. I meant to specify "sedan", but glad you chimed in Carlos.

I concur, if you're not wanting to fork up the cash for real bi-x.

Since you have the 2006 halogen headlights, the housing is exactly the same as 2005, so you won't need to swap out the housing. There have been a few people on here that have already put in a HID kit in their clear halogen housings.

Tricky thing with Benz is that there is a function that needs to be switched using Star Diagnose to indicate that HID is present. That being said, there are also HID kits out there that allow you to use the HID w/o having to do the Star Diagnose HID identification.

This topic has been discussed several times before. Try the advanced search for "HID" or "Xenon" and specify your search to the w203 forums. There have been a lot of good threads that'll help you decide.

Oh, I see. Your initial post didn't state that you were thinking of getting the DEPO (ebay) knock-off projectors w/ the black housing. Gotta be more specific when you start a thread.

My stance is, I don't really trust aftermarket headlight housings (but that's just my own personal fear of anything going wrong with my headlights while driving).

I think the Xenon's will look really nice in the projector lights and the black housing is really unique. I don't know the quality. I'm pretty sure the DEPO lights have been discussed in another thread too.

it's be pretty decent, but you might also need to take it to dealer to set the xenon present
