I have been browsing through all these nice pics and seen that some of the cars have clear glass head lights. Myn are like frosted and dont look as nice. Can I change them on an 2003 model c32 ?

Yes, you can, but if you go bixenon route and you didn't have oem xenons, then you will have to have it programmed to work correctly. If I'm correct, you can use clear headlights from 2006-2003 with out a problem.

It's best to go oem, but you can go the aftermarket route. The aftermarket route will be cheapest, but it will be difficult, not impossible, to get a good aftermarket xenon headlight to work. If you go oem, you can find prices from $600-$2k used. Finding oem xenons is difficult and if you do find them, they will not be cheap. Just keep an eye out and something will pop up, but it will most likely not be cheap.
