I would love to install C63 headlights but most of them in good shape are extremely expensive.

I found these:

Do you think buying them and trying to seal them up with tar would be crazy? I see it is missing a tab but maybe it would be possible to still fasten it down somehow. I would love to have this look. Of course I would have to find the other side at a lower price as well which may be hard. I would rather door this than paint my housing only because its an OEM AMG look and I am not really comfortable sticking my original headlights in the oven

i had gotten a pair of c63 headlights, fitment is the same but the plugs are different unless you have P2 package on your car if you do not have bi xenon package headlights on your car the plugs will not work just to let you know. i dont have p2 package so i end up selling my headlights.

Luckily I have p2 and the xenons so i think it would be a direct fit. When you say you are selling your headlights do yo mean the C63s or your originals? If C63s I may be interested.

We are just assuming it is a c63. Since he says it is, "original and OEM" and it has the inside blacked out, that means it has to be a C63 (as non C63 xenons don't have blacked out housings). Of course, these could just be P2 package items, and he opened the headlights and painted them and blacked them out themselves. We really have no way of telling, so I would just message and ask them.

But personally, while the price is good, between the extra hassle of having the broken clip and repairing it and trying to mount it, combined with the fact that it is only 1 light, it isn't really worth it IMO.

You're better off taking your original headlights (since they are P2 anyway) and having them professionally blacked out for near the same price. Or you could DIY (pretty good instructions on this forum) and get it done much cheaper...

How about these?

Looks like a body shop trying to get rid of them, one has a broken clip, I guess the worst of it would be them having cracks and letting condensation in. I offered him $300 for the pair, I'll see what he says, to me, $300-$400 for a pair of C63 headlights even with a broken clip and a crack is not a bad deal. My main concern is feeling safe plugging these in to my car, I don't need the ballasts catching fire

just black out ur stock housings. its not that hard to do and is way better than installing cracked used headlights

I agree. Why u gonna cheap out on something so important like headlights?

Would anyone be able to tell how durable ballasts are? in other words if i bought these headlights off ebay will the ballasts most likely be okay or is there a chance they'll crap out. Would you feel uncomfortable plugging them into your car? Or is it a fairly simple mechanism?

The reason why I do not want to paint my original housings is because I want to keep my original parts original, I am afraid to stick my headlights in the oven and would rather spend $300 for a pair of headlights which have one broken clip each for the oem C63 look.
