The headlights I have brought are exactly the same as the GB going on atm.

I will get these fitted ASAP, hopefully by the end of the week.

Damn, that translates to $570 USD. Shipping to the UK I'd imagine wouldn't be more than $50-60, so if we hit the $305 price point, would have cost you only £232 shipped.

Here are the lights on during the day from a distance. The LEDs are bright (brighter than the pic suggests) and clearly visible during the day.

2008 C300 Lux
Dammit! I'm torn between getting the black or the chrome housing! I have a silver luxury model, so I'm beginning to think that the black housing will look too sporty on my front fascia. I still have the luxury grille and upright hood emblem, but will eventually be changing both out to a flat badge and sport grille.

Anyone have any opinions on which housing will match my lux better? I'm starting to lean towards the chrome instead of the black now...

If your gonna black out everything once you swap the grill and hood emblem, you might as well get the black ones, and keep your stock housing until you decide to swap everything out,
but if your keeping the grill and hood emblem the way they are, for a while, just get the chrome ones

or better yet, get both

I agree. Go with the black housing. Once you go black you never go, I mean... It will look clean on your car. You will still have that luxury look you want.

One more buyer and we will reach our final tier/price drop!!!!!!!

I probably won't black everything out unless I totally decide to swap all parts for the sport versions (bumpers, add skirts, etc.). I got a deal I couldn't pass on for my C, but it just happened to be the lux model. I'm trying to picture the black housings on the lux, but I'm having a hard time. Don't get me wrong, I really like the black ones, but don't want to look like a fool if they don't match my car. I think it's the lower front fascia of the lux that is throwing me off, it's not agressive like the sport fascia.

I wish I had the scrips to buy both, that would easily solve my issues .

Yeah, I really like the black, but idk. I'm definitely planning to swap the hood ornament and grille for a sportier look, but my concern is the lower front fascia on the lux. It just doesn't lend itself to say "agressive" and I'm imagining that it may not match the black housings. Just leary about making a $330 mistake. And I'm not planning to swap fascias anytime in the near future. Decisions, decisions...

I understand that. I would go for it personally. This is a great deal, too good to pass up IMO. Your Merc can pull it off for sure and it will stand out!

Ok so I paid for the item from UK. Now getting a refund.

I'm adding my name to the end of this list.

How long until these get sent out?

I should of asked a very important question before I put myself on the list.

I know in the US, everyone drives left hand drive. I would have thought Spyder would make these headlights to shine/ reflect towards the right side of the road.

We in UK has right hand drive, would Spyder make these headlights to shine towards the left slightly? So this would comply with the UK law regulations.
I don't want to be blinding every car on the opposite side of the road.

Hey AZN,

I cant really judge on the pics,
do the L.E.D strips light up bright like current models of mercedes?
or would you say much weaker?
are they noticeable during day ?

Thanks for all your help

Passed on your question to SPYDER to see if they can get a right hand drive version out to you, but they height is adjustable.

UPDATE: Ok, they said all their lights are pre-configured for left hand drive so the one you were ordering before would have been the same as the ones we have (unless the vendor you ordered from took the time to mess with height adjustment prior to sending to you)

The vendor said they buy direct from Sonar lights and said they shine to the left?

Could they modify mine to shine towards the right or at least straight?
