Are there any aftermarket units available? I have found out thru the search engine here that sedans and coupe don't mix. That's just effing great. Can someone here definitively what headlights (besides dealer option OEM) I can get to get rid of the frosted crap that currently resides on my front end? I'm looking for something like this:

Not so far, options are upgrade to 05 clears or the 05 bixenons

+1. That is pretty it much from the Authority, right there.

Jesus Christ. I just looked up the prices for the bi-xenons.......wow. I guess I'm gonna hafta hunt down some OEM 05 clears. Thanks for the responses.

I think I am going to be selling my car soon. I have some bixenon lights, but my price is going to reflect the unobtanium status.

So, I have two bix with clear lenses. $1,300.

I paid $1,700 for them. Also comes with lens protective film.

you can always do a FX-R bi-x retrofit. The retrofit source is a great company if you plan on doing it that way.

Hi Phister, can you tell me more about this? Is there some sort of DIY available on the forums?

Thanks

i dont like getting involved... and i also highly respect SeaCoupe/Emrliquidlife because of his vast knowledge and contribution on this forum... but i also dont want newbee's getting false info. that being said...

i'm pretty sure you paid less than $1700, especially because I ran the group buy that got you the set:

https://mbworld.org/forums/group-pur...group-buy.html

however, these are an extremely rare commodity... so if you want to sell more based on the rarity thats different. i just don't think its right to put up the wrong purchase price for the sake of profit.

i dont want to talk down on the seller or the product.. but just correct the price.

Aw Man, I was waiting to see if Ed was gonna get away with this one,
but no, what a buzzkill! Ha ha ha ha
Mr. Smarty "I ran the group buy" pants.

Well considering the best price you can get these days is about 1300 a side on ebay =$2600,
even more at the dealer, if they are clean, hell they might be worth it to someone.
I mean after all if you bought that much money in Euro's from back then and held onto it,
the same result would occur.
The change in dollar to Euro is resulting in parts being much more expensive.
I don't see anything wrong with charging the going rate.

Hell the lights are probably worth more than Ed's car.

you can probably get them from Steve MBenzNL.

If you search a member on here wrote up a DIY. I haven't done mine yet.

Well, some time ago they said they had one set, but
they didn't want to disclose the price.

After seeing this thread, and so many others like it,
I actually sent an email to Depot to tell them they need to start making
Coupe lighting, they're missing a huge market worldwide.

Good, at least someone else feels the same way

Nearing the high side of my 30s, my memory really isn't as good anymore. Wasn't trying to provide wrong background info. For some reason, that is what I thought I paid. I mean heck, they were bought some 5 yrs. ago.

Personally, I do think the lights are worth more than my Benz now. Any case, My price is firm. Only way to get these babies is to build a time machine, or get lucky and buy a car that has them.

I may get another Coupe in which case I would put these on again.

Any case, that was a solid Group Buy you put together Midnight. It was the best mod I did on my car.

back in '07 before i found the deal and setup the groupbuy... i was actually about to bite on a used set for $1200. you're price isn't far off and still way below their dealership value.

Heck, I paid 600 to Blake for the privilege of wrenching for an entire day, driving 3 hour RT,
+ my old lights installed in his car.
Though he threw in the tails, and blinkers.
His lights had old bulbs in them that didn't last long after that (+$100), and the
plastic was crazed, so I have to polish them regularly.

I woulda been way ahead if I'd bought at the group buy price, but those
days were long gone, so off I went to Fresno, along with Jordan in his car, cash and tools in hand....
had to remove his lights, remove my lights and swap 'em.
That's a lot of work for used Bix, + IF they had been available for $800, but they weren't.
And I coulda sold my old parts too. All in all, my investment in time and parts exchanged was more than 850.
and I'm happy with it.

Ha, 'amember when Evilsport had C32 brakes for $550 with calipers, pads, and rotors?
, no more.
You gonna complain to them now that the price is too high at over a grand because the dollar is worthless? Midnight, come out the dark.. he he
As the old saying goes, what the old group buy got to do with the price of tea in China?

I need 1 Passenger side, and I will have a pair.
Anyone have a Passenger side sitting around that they are not using?

Thanks,
