c63 headlights on c300/c350?

would they fit? anyone know where to get it or an easier route in making the stocks look like that of a c63? i like the 63's black housing look rather than the interior chrome.

Dealer sells them I think I read 1200.00 USD and the insides are a dark grey not black but you can't really tell that from pics.

Are your headlights tinted or is it just the combination of the dark housings and lack of light?

yea! how do you take them apart exactly and get them back together correctly w/o condensation??! ALSO! Where exactly on the inside did you paint and what kinda paint did you use? flat black/grey?? and im also just assuming it was a spray rather then a brush correct? Detailed instructions on how to go about this would be amazing!!

I'm thinking of purchasing a pair. Is it 1200 each or together as a pair?

p.s. Anyone has the Part Numbers for the C63 HID Headlights?

they're cheaper if you get'em from europe. MBenzNL/steve can probably get it. US dealership will rip you off with their price. IMO just wait another year or so the price should drop to where the W203 bi-xenon is. around $1400-1500 a pair.

As long as you seal the headlamps back on properly, you shouldn't get any condensation!
