09 sedan - aftermarket headlight alternatives??
I did a brief search through forums and didn't see any exact results for 09 C63 headlight products. I am sure many of you hate the look of the 09 headlights. The white plastic brow (upper part of headlight) as well as the 09 mirrors are hideous in my opinion. I had mine covered with a black plastic film at Speed Shield in Dallas. That has eventually started to bubble on the lights. It looks cheap, a little tacky.
I didn't see any aftermarket headlights available except below link on eBay. Are there any alternatives just to replace the headlights (no body kits)?

These are on eBay and the only set I have seen that appear to get rid of the upper brow. Has anyone successfully installed these?

Cool so I am the only one in existence that dislikes the look of the 2009 headlights with that fugly white plastic upper brow. Makes sense no wonder there are no aftermarket alternatives...

The headlights aren't too bad. (Factory ones)
Most people get eyebrows for the top to cover the portion your taking about or like you did wrap.
There are no viable after market alternatives IMO.
They all look very cheap.
Best thing to do it 2011+ update headlights, OEM.
but costly exercise, as it entails new bonnet, fenders and front bar.
The costly part is the headlights.
Scour ebay for the parts, and collect them over time.

No I hate them as well. I was thinking of baking them and seeing if I could pull the striped lens out of the top section and just have clear glass, but haven't had the time yet.

I don't mind the headlights, but I do agree that the mirrors are really stupid looking. I am considering having mine tinted.

The wrap on the lights & mirrors isn't "bad" but up close it looks kind of cheesy and eventually starts to bubble. There are CF and plastic stick on brow covers you can buy as well but again look a little goofy to me. IDK... Anyone at all try these headlights out yet?

I personally like the pre-facelift headlights; it's the side mirrors that I can't take.
Those eBay ones looks horrible IMO.
The only thing close that I've found are the ones here:

But then again, I'm not sure the quality of the product.
