Can you buy just the headlight lens?
I hit a deer last night and it shattered my drivers headlight lens luckily no other body damage. I'm hoping I can just buy the lens and put it on but I'm not sure if I can buy just the lens. If anyone knows where please let me know.
Otherwise I'll go for C63 headlights which I wanted anyway.
Edit: Lens may be the wrong word, what ever the clear plastic cover is that covers the whole headlight.

LSA - the lens is not available separately. Aftermarket ones used to be manufactured for the W203 but they were of crap material & yellowed badly. There might be aftermarket for W204 but I would not use them. Toss the headlight/s.

Unfortunately there is some further damage, the headlamp washer that pops out of the bumper is broken and sitting freely in there, and only I will ever know this but the gap between the grill and the hood and the hood and the fender are a little bigger on the drivers side. Only 1-4 CM in difference, so its very minimal and cant be seen unless you look very closely with a ruler, but it will still always bother me
I hopefully will get some C63 lights though so I'm happy about that, never seen a C300 with 63 lights, just painted housings, will post pics when its all done.

Got my C63 headlight in today, I was only able to find a drivers side for sale so right now I'm driving around with a black eyed C-class
, if anyone has or knows of a passenger c63 headlight for sale at a reasonable price please let me know! I love the way the drivers side looks though, I still need to make some adjustments as there is a bigger gap between the light and the hood then the passenger side.

I've haven't loved the way it came out. The C63 headlights are not black on the inside but a graphite color. In the shade they look awesome because they look black, but in the light I don't love the graphite color, it almost looks silver and dull. I am thinking of opening them up, putting the chrome back and spraying just the surround black to make them look like this:
