What? What styles? You talking about how you'll see BMW's with like red or orange halos?

Please don't hack up your headlights and just leave them alone.

Your factory headlights with HIDs will have far superior optics and light distribution to those aftermarket housings. I would just polish the outside to get them looking new and protect them with a clear coat and/or PPF.

I'm not sure which socket style the factory HID's used but I specifically looked for non HID so I could do the swap and as far as optics and visibility goes these may surprise some. Obviously MB Optics are better but with a switch out to Morimoto glass and these babies rock.

I used The Retrofit Source for all my lighting needs now. Not sure if they may have a solution for you or not but YOLO cause PFL headlights SUCK imo.

I don't see why not (but make sure they are plug/play or there might be a lot of things to wire). But as BalanBro pointed out, putting in the aftermarket could be a step down from OEM.

If you didn't like how the headlights looked, why not get a newer C63?

They also have eyebrow covers that you can use instead of swapping out the whole headlight.

The design is nice but you also have to check how they will look on the car. They don't really go with the C class and stand out too much from the car. Just look at the reviews and customer photos before you decide.

It's like getting a boob job when you're 65 years old. Okay, tice nits, but it just doesn't make sense with the rest of the body.

I dunno. I think Christie Brinkley, now 66, could pull it off.

If it's just for cosmetics, you might want to look into painting the inside of the factory headlight housing gloss black

Those headlights you want will NOT work with your headlights if they’re factory Xenon. The bulbs and connectors are completely different, xenon has connectors for the ballast/control module and such.

I'm going to just go ahead and say how about you get the rock chips on the front bumper fixed and leave the headlights alone. It'll definitely make the car look much better.
