2013 C63 Coupe BS Conversion
New Grill & Headlights
Just finished installing my C63 headlights and custom grill. Let me know what you think. The headlights ended up being a complete retrofit as I have a C230 without HID. What I thought was going to be a 2-hr job turned out to be a 2-day job but turned out great though. I love the look of them!

I also have clear corner lenses
Tinted LED Tails
3-Pc Spoiler
18" MB optional wheels

Nice looking ride! What method did you use in tinting the taillights? Regular tint or Lamin-X route?

I thought all the headlamps are the same across the C line?

The ones I have on my signature are the Bi-Xenon ones from P2. I believe they share the same housing as the non Xenon lights. C63 headlights have a darker housing like the ones the OP posted.

I see. My C63 does not have xenon and looks like yours. I prefer the chrome housings to match the grill.

The dark lights are a good contrast on a white car. Looking good. :thumbs up:

Looks great! I think a CF spoiler would look better as the tails are blacked out, just an opinon

I love the tinted tail lights... How much did you pay? Can you zoom just to see the quality of tint because those tail lights are pretty curved

Could you please post pictures of this? I thought ALL C63s came with the darker headlights...

To the OP: Looks good and I really like your rims.

Yours are still a little different from mine. Could it be that mine is a '09 or perhaps all non-xenons have the full chrome housings?

Here are yours from a pic you posted:


Here are my non-Xenon on a '09 C63:

That is weird, but then again, I've haven't seen C63's out there yet(on the streets and media) without the Xenons.

I really hope they didn't pull a switcharoo on your car.

Here is Ron Jr's '08 C300 Sport. Perhaps the non-xenon housings are different?

yeah, they are different. The main thing I noticed is the High Beam housing is different. The Xenon one is smaller and the non-xenon one is bigger. I don't like how it is one the non-xenon headlight. looks weird.

I can't believe the C63 doesn't come with xenons standard, that's crazy.

My sentiments exactly. It is part of P2. I didn't have much of a choice given the color I wanted during the AMG clearance sale back in July.
