Lightbulb Need advice about aftermarket headlights on my w204 C300

Hi Guys,
I'm thinking about replacing the headlights on my 2008 C300 to make them nicer and brighter, I found the following
Amazon Amazon

AND
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-2011-M...item2837697e2a

Please advice me if you know they will be good.

Thanks

So both of those options are the SPYDER headlights (black and chrome variant). That's actually our test mule in one of the advertising pictures. Our experience with those has been with the poor quality of lens cap where micro fractures and spiderweb cracks started developing after a year of use.

Thanks for your advice, so if those are not good enough, do you recommend any other options and if yes, do you have any shop in north Texas Dallas area?

You can look for Depo. We don't specialize in housing units... Just the bulbs that go behind them.

What's your objective? Just want to change the style? Want better lighting? Better projection?

Assuming you have oem halogens... Why don't you just do an HID conversion with LED upgrade bulbs? Easy, cheaper DIY.

Capacitor?
Or does everything that I need come standard?
