Read post #47 doesn't sound like something I would like to try.

I have seen many painted headlights in the past. After a while they look like crap (paint flaking and dulling etc). Maybe its due to the incredible heat produced by headlights. That's why I installed the tinted film on the outside. Looks good and protect the lens from chips at the same time.

Film goes on the outside. Laminx makes a kit for the w204 headlight, fogs, side markers and tail lights. I have them on my fogs, it takes a couple of days for the bubbles to disapear and the glue to become totallt transparent.

DIY for painting the headlights... I would'nt recommend to anyone unless they have had experience in the past.
the C63 AMG headlights are not really black, they are matt dark grey.
if money is not an issue, I suggest buying the C63 headlights for your car.
the fit is the same as a standard W204.
if you are on a budget then I suggest the above by tinting it.
or just wait for a 3rd party product.

Yeah its about right
again if money's not an issue.
I guess you can also resort to painting it as you've mentioned
but take it to a shop!
