The front looks like an older CLK with the splitters. If thats the look you want then they would be worth it. For $.99 you could probably draw the splitters on with a black marker and still look better. They look cheap. In the end you will get your lights split and save $9.00.

Yeah, why would you want the older E-class CLK look? The blended headlights on the C-class look much better.

MB offers something similar, but they are chrome. They call them headlight rings or something.

The ones on ebay there look like sh*t. They look like they're made of construction paper.

They look like if you go past 30 MPH you'll lose them, but then again, that might be a good thing

they just look cheap IMO. if there was a way you could seamlessly install them in order to have a 208 type front look, that would be soooo much better than those double back tape things.

yeah the new E has the seperate headlights, but with the splitter it looks more like the older style.

also I loathe the chrome headlight rings as well.

Well, if you can find someone that can paint that chrome piece to match your body color, it will look nice. I hate that gap between the hood and the headlights.

yeah but that still requires a removal of the headlight cover and then paint. i still dont think it will look clean like the splitters which clean and seemless) like the W208's, W210's and W211's.
