Anyone with a red C300 with Spyder headlights?

If you have a red C300 with Spyder headlights, would you mind posting a photo or two of your front with the lights off? I'm especially trying to decide between clear or black housing Spyder headlights, but pictures of either on a red car have proved very tough to find!

Thanks!

I would avoid it, from what I recall the LED's tended to be defective after a while or all together stopped working. Fitment was a bit off also. Do a search though, I remember one member with a Mars red having these lights.

Here's one from a member on here. I don't know his forum member name but I have him on facebook.











Sure he wouldn't mind if I posted it for him. Let me know if you want me to take them down Anh-Tuan

Really? Wow... I'd never heard this before... and I've gone through all the Spyder headlamp mega-threads on here without a single mention of that. Do let me know if you recall more.

Really? I'm sure I saw in there someone saying the LED's went out. Lemme dig around.

You'll have to go through the thread as I just went to find the link but I know on page 21 someone mentioned having their one of their LED strips already go out. You're covered by 1-yr warranty but it will depend on where you buy the lights that determines the after purchase support you get. I think it's hit or miss with the quality?

Thanks man! This definitely turns me away for now. I'll ask a few more people who have them how they've fared. They definitely look awesome as evidenced in the pics above!
