For those asking and PMing me about a group buy, I think we want to finish this 2 week endurance run so we can see if we need to make any quality improvements as well as see about incorporating any changes/suggestions so we can see what the final production cost will be before setting any group buy price. I know one of SPYDER's goals was to price aggressively.

I wish they made them for people with Xenons,

and I think getting rid of the eyebrow is best as the new DRLs can be considered the replacement for the eyebrow.

angeloxnet

i will buy these when they figure out the eyelids, not a fan, otherwise i would be all over it

vanbong84

What if...

I'd like to see dual projectors and the lower LED strips be like 6000k or something and what if instead of removing the eyebrows entirely they can have a line of LED strip there as turn signal in amber. I would def need it to be compatible for xenon tho.

+1 if they get rid of the eyelids and do something like the 2012 count me in or else i already have my stock headlights painted black no point in getting those headlights

It really does look too busy as it is now. I'd say do away with the eyebrows, but all that extra space up there without the eyebrows might look weird.

This would be PERFECT.

AK-Benz

Like you said, switchbacks would be nice. Other than that I like the way it looks. For those who think its too busy can always shade the lights of their choosing. The blacked out housing gives an aggressive look. I would love to see the turn signals in action. Count me in for the group pricing!

LandSeaAir

yeah, I agree, that would be perfect. The new S-Classes with the led strip amber turn signals looks amazing, and the switch back would keep it clean.

In addition to all that I would also suggest maybe painting the inside dark gray instead of black like the C63 housings. It seems all of the new Benzes have gray insides which I think would make the headlight look even more updated and comparable to 2012. With all that I would truly prefer that light to the 2012 OEM lights, plus you get to keep your fogs! I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Again I just hope there's a solution to OEM xenon, which may be hard because of the auto leveling system.

Fiqure out the eyebrows. If they don't come with led bulbs and just use regular 194's . Won't look appealing from the beginning. But i like the blacked out look and the led strip.
Depending on price might just go with the stock DRL led's.

getno

Using painted sidemarker could help on the busyness too

bringtherain

i really wanna see what it'd look at on a 2011. would it be too busy or a perfect fit with the bottom led strips... hmmmm

1sik_c300

That sounds amazing.would be all in on this one!

AVICII

will this headlight fit on c63?

AZN Optics

yeah, they should be interchangeable as others have fitted OEM C63 headlights in non-amg w204s before.

blue00r6

I'm curious what you guys are envisioning for a version w/no eyebrow section. I think it will make the lamp look very ricey when you move too far away from the stock design. I think the key is very subtle improvements. IE. the opposite of the 'altezza' taillight craze of the early 00's

C300BLK

SICK!

Doanster

My "do away w/ eyebrows" = unplug the bulbs since the busy-ness is when all the various lights are on. No physical alteration to that section. No errors should be thrown, a la fog lights can be disconnected w/o issue, but I've never done the brows to confirm.

AZN Optics

If you pull the bulbs from the eyebrows, it'll throw an error.

So talked with SPYDER today and they'll going to talk to their manufacturing guys to see how feasible it is to eliminate the eyebrows entirely.

jimmythegreek

yeah they throw errors w the bulb removed, the only thing that wont is the foglights, ive tried all the rest. Im in the process of deleting my eyebros now on my 2011. I have my DRLs full bright and it looks better without them on. Im just blacking out my OEM bulbs w black paint and gonna tint or buy those eyebrow covers off ebay and paint them black to match the car. Im gonna try a few resistors and see if i can just tap each eyebrow w them to bypass bulbs altogether using ohms law. If I had a set of these spyders Id tear em open and customize them, might look good w DRLs down low, might be too busy tho

delirium

So does this mean that these headlights will work with the factory Xenon headlights?

CLASSC

@michael i think the cutoff of the eyebrow looks sick brah take a second look, its like azn eyes now you know what im sayin lol. its more chinky & rawr lookin. it must be distint from the stocks anyway! cheehee. count me in on tweaked version for group buy!
+1 clean it up a bit, for blacked out version
+1 lets see the chrome version!

AZN Optics

I've asked them about the factory xenon option and waiting for response, but what I meant by that quote was that people have swapped OEM halogen C63 headlights to non-amg w204s before so structurally should be the same.

AZN Optics

There will be a version that will work with factory xenons

DonjuanOriginal

Yup, It throws an error everytime. burned out a 194 bulb before. Comes on everytime. Even my fogs set off errors when i burned both simultaneously.

snarlingchicken

Sounds good mike! I'd be down to test fit it needed. Also do you think spyder would be down to make their own version of the 2012 led tails? I'd be the first to buy them and seeing as there's a massive market for them right now for the pre-2012 crowd they could definitely make some $$ if they came out with them :3
