Hi all, sorry for the noob question, but I am trying to undo some shoddy work done by the prior owner of my car (2011 C63 AMG). The car did not come with Bi-Xenons from the factory; there are aftermarket headlight assemblies installed and a rat's nest of wiring/relays and ballasts installed behind the headlights. The seals were not installed and of course dirt and grime have gotten in and the entire setup is malfunctioning. One "angel eye" is working, one high beam works and it all just looks ridiculous.

I want to just uninstall of this, throw it into the nearest trash can and install a replacement set of factory headlights and bulbs, OEM style. My question is, since my car was not equipped with Bi-Xenons, that means the headlights from say a 2011 C250/300/350 would be the same right?

you can find cheap replacement halogen headlights on eBay that were made for the pre-facelift c63 just so you have the peace of mind not worrying if 2011 C250/300/350 would fit. But I have no idea if 2011 C250/300/350 would fit. just thought I would throw the suggestion out there.

You can look on realoem.com and lookup all the part numbers. looking up the pfl bi xenon part, it shows the 2008-2011 c300 c350 and c63 all use the same headlight so guessing all headlights interchange.

on eBay they list c63 with c300 and 250 also as fitment for pfl lights https://www.ebay.com/itm/for-2008-20....c100008.m2219

OK thank you all, all of this information is very helpful and it is good to know what I need to buy to make this back right.

Just pulled this rat's nest out of my car. Nothing was sealed and one of the grounds was just hanging in the air. Wires were inches away from disaster just ran across the top of the fan housing. Dust and dirt everywhere inside the lenses.

I need to figure out what other factory wiring bits I'm going to need too, if any. Luckily, the main headlight plug that goes into the bottom plug in the housing haven't been messed with, so maybe I'll be OK! Stuff like this worries me about what other dumb crap the previous owner may have done... /prayers
