question on headlights

havnt yet modded my factory headlights on my 07'' c230 but i do want to get a pair of clear ones ( change from the gray looking ones ). Whats the exact name for these? Are they chrome projector headlights? And info on the cheapest distributer or seller would be appreciated also. Thanks.

no not with me, but those headlights sure aren't on mine. mine resemble them a little but are definitely more foggier.

I would check ebay or the classified. Maybe some folks that upgrade to Bix want to sell their stock one.

it's either those clear ones or bi-xenon with the projector lens. Maybe that pic makes them look different.

That's stock clear one.
Or if you go on ebay, type w203 headlight, they have clear projector or black housing projector.

You don't mention what country you are in. Is it possible that the housings have leaked and the lens looks foggy because of condensation inside?
