Only OEM mercedes parts will fit.
Clear Halogen from 2005+ $300-$600 when they come up or from a dealer,
or Bixenon from 2003 or 2004 on...$1000-$2500
No aftermarket products exist, sadly. As you have surmised, sedan lights don't fit.
So, now you know what to search for.
Your best deal can be had if stick close to the forums and watch the classifieds and
W203 forums...thats how I finally got mine from another member, traded my frosties + labor and cash.
Like here, but you already missed it...clear halogens for $350- SOLD
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-part-out.html
Also, Steve in the Netherlands who sells MB parts around the world would have them new if you got the cash. Last I heard he's got one set of coupe bix. Likely around 1500.

Agreed, but since he at least knew the sedan lights don't fit the coupe,
I figured I'd help out, and next time he'll know to STFF.
I think the thing is, you need to know what to be searching for, which is basically what I provided.
Sedan owners have it easy. Coupe specific stuff is super hard to find especially if you don't know the exact search phrase. Even then, all you're likely to find is group buys and deals from days gone by, and sift through tons of ebay ads only to find, it's for sedan only.
It's kinda irritating when newbs introduce themselves in the form of a question. But like I said, I had a feeling he at least tried a little before posting.
And no, FYI, there are no Bixenon's or clear Halogens for coupes on ebay currently and none that I'm aware of currently in the forum.

Then you should keep your eyes open for a set of clear halogens from the 2005,
recently a set here went for $350.
That would leave you enough to get the updated tail lights from
ebay germany for like 230.
Send an email to Steve
info@MBenzNL.com
and see what a set of clear Halo projectors is going for new from him...
