Headlamps
Hello all..... I have a newbie question...since I have a 2001 ,C180, does the projector headlamps they have on E*bay fit my car? They are mostly for C240 and so. What's so different in these cars? :-)

yea get the sedan ones and you should be fine... pretty much the diff is engine size, tranny, drivetrain awd, rwd and a few other things.

Hi Hubertt, I'd like you to save your money. The cheap projectors sold on Ebay will not give you the light necessary to drive at night. The lamps and reflectors are not satisfactory, and do not meet specifications of Mercedes or the road authorities in your country. You might find some genuine second-hand lamp assemblies near where you live. There is a difference in lamps for coupes, but the saloon and estate are the same. After installation you will need a dealer to set the car's computer to: xenon=present.
