Bi-Xenons for C-Coupe

today i saw the first c coupe with bi-xenons, i couldn't believe it...it looked incredible. from far away it seemed as if it was the new clk.
anyone know if mercedes parts dep. sells the bi-xenons yet for the coupe and if so how much they cost? also anyone have them on their coupes yet? ive seen plenty sedans with it and it changes the look of the front completely IMHO.

as far as i know no coupe has done it.....and right now the only place to get it is the dealer...expect over $1500.

After all this years. I still think they're the uggliest and most expensive thing ever added to the coupe. Just honest opinion not to start any war. They make the coupe looks like a dumb looking frog like monster.

Hi,

I think after this year they will still look great, don't have them yet, because the oem price for the coupé. Waiting if Steve could found them for a better prize.

Best Regards,

Ruben.

Ok, I am in the camp with nevide. They look bug eyed and prefer the clean look of stock lights. I think this look is a bit of a fad and will run its course - like carbon fiber. The stock lit cars will be "in" again in a couple of years. IMHO.

i don't like the bi xenons on the C-Coupe... makes the car looked cross eyed, i prefer the bi xenons on the sedans.. but that's only the aesthetic aspect, the bi xenons light up a lot more compared to stock... just my 2 cents

I have the stock Bi-Xenons as well on mine. I love them and will never buy a car without them, unless they don't have them on what I want. My wife is getting a new car next year and will not even consider a car that does not have them as an option. For the money it is worth it if you get them when you get the car. Adding them on later is too expensive. I actually like the look, makes it look more like a sports car.

not to mention the actual functionality of the xenon lights. i feel like i'm driving blind at night if i'm driving a car with halogens.

I know this is a coupe topic but...I was completely happy when I put the bixenons on my car. It made my 2 yr old car look brand new! The regular lights cover just looks tacky and outdated.

TRUELOVE:

Which engine do you have? C230K? V6 (saw in the sides)? I have the C230K and the engine is a lot diferent from the one of your photos.


Best Regards,

Ruben.

P.D. In which country wood is an option, we can't get it here in Spain.
