Wink NEW 2014 C300 Owner- Replacing Headlights and Calipers

Hi All,

I just made the purchase and absolutely love my car. It's black on black with the double sport package (sport plus AMG). It has the red stitching and seat belts. I'm looking to add two things to the car and then it will be complete. I've done research but haven't found anything and need your help.

1) I'm looking for LED headlights because I want a simple plug and play. I don't want to have to get an HID harness kit. However, I found a few spider halo headlights BUT it seems none come with a 6000k-8000k headlight bulb. Any recommendations on a headlight to get? I'm looking to replace the entire headlight, not just the bulb. I want a racing HALO type headlight with between 6000k-8000k.

2) I'd really like to get red calipers for the car too. The only two options I've been told are either paint the calipers I have or buy the hard plastic calipers to put over mine. Any other ideas?

All comments are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Jason

1) I have never seen this done.
2) Have not heard of anything other than caliper painting.

You can always paint the calipers LOL. As for the headlights, search on eBay. Might have some there but don't think they'll be cheap tho
