Hello everyone! tried to do a search online but I couldn't come up with anything. I am trying to purchase a pair of headlight housings to replace mine. I have seen the newer style headlights and I like them much better than earlier W203 vehicles. I was wondering if they are compatible with earlier vehicles or not. They look identical from afar, but I am not sure if there has been any significant changes with the lighting itself.

I have attached an image of the headlights I am referring to.

RockAuto.com is where I would be purchasing them from.

They should fit. Notice they don't have black plastic trim around the lenses - you will have to reuse the trim from your current lights.

You can get DEPO projectors ($400/pair ?), or OES Bi-Xenons from ebay, but they are about $1k for the pair...
