Those are actually custom OEM headlights, that photo has been around for a while.

2008 MB C350 4MATIC/2011 CL63 AMG/2014 C63 Coupe 507
I have a 2008 C350 4MATIC model as the bixenon package comes OEM in canada here. However my headlights are garbage now and need a new pair. Will these aftermarket ones be direct replacement for my OEM XENON headlights? Will there be any error codes?

i'll try to find a dark place and make some pics.
the cap didn't fit 100% so i had to be creative. i can not swap them again without breaking some parts now but im not planning to swap anymore

To get an idea I snapped a couple quick pics just with cell phone. Not great with rain and all but I think it will give a good idea. Also, Morimoto XB 5500k on 35w ballast for HID setup. Some pics you will see I had fogs on, I think this will only apply to pre facelift w204's, or maybe the LED fogs or something make up for it, I'm not sure.
I have default projector glass in as well so maybe it's letting too much light out? Even if it's not good glass I can see clearer and with a better cutoff than I felt like I could get out of stock halogen in stock projector housing. Also for HID it has to be H11/H11B, found out hard way haha.

I'm not sure if technically they have proper beam pattern but it doesn't blind people and it for sure helps me see like actually see compared to my stock halogens.

If you can take a NEW picture, 5 feet away from a flat white surface (like a garage), that would be great! (also, clean your headlights first)
This is my stock headlight. It still looks great but has begun to develop some wear. I will try to buff it out with Mothers 05101 Mag & Aluminum Polish. I saw this easy technique on Youtube. Hopefully it works. I may still buy those new headlights and store it for later.

There are two types of H11 bulb, H11A and H11B. Are you saying they take H11Bs?

Yes, the projector in the set I got at least used H11B, I originally got H11A's apparently which TRS was great in helping me with.
On the other when I can beat the wife home from work I'll try to get a couple to show cutoff better.
Finally got a quick pic as clean as I could get as well.

I also got that blind spot detection system. Lol. Lots of work when it gets warmer. I am making a new benz out of my 2011, so I can stop looking at the 2017s.
I will wait a few years and buy a CPO 2019 C class with new interior and all digital 12.3 inch cluster.

You grabbed the headlights off ebay? Do you have a link?
