I know not exactly what your lookin for but I know he could do that right away.

Man I live these headlights !! I like the others for the clk more, but if they don't come out, I can see what my next option would be

Well you wouldn't use the exact same unit, just copy the design and make one for the CLK. I think that is why he said there would have to be a minimum number of units ordered. You know research and development.

CLK/ML
Actually might look freakishly cool. You would have to cut the hood and fenders though. ML xenons are reasonably priced. Photochop anyone?

i think retrofit the W210 lights is not a bad idea at all .
All i have to do is trim the bumpers or little mod . My front bumper material is fiberglass ,so i can play with it the way i want . I am just looking for a good bodyshop who is capable of doing that.

I checked the w210 lights they have a place underneath the headlight, for the Xenon so you can bolt on your original xenon in there.

A poor job I know, but if you blur your eyes out you can kind of get the idea

I think it will look better if only the 3 circles will show instead of the whole headlight

clk 430
the quad head light is what makes the clk one of the best looking car ever
made and to include the e-class w210, w211, cl-class !! you can mod the
stock housings with LEDS, clear glass, xenon proyectors, but the basic shape
should not be changed!! it's a classic!! they wont make them like this no more!!

clk 430
this is what i did to my plastic head lights and they look new!! first mask
around the fender and bumper with the hood opened. sand with 2000 grit
sand paper and water in one direction only!! wipe the lens clean and polish
with Bluemagic liquid metal polish, you will see the results most likely after
repeted use. just take your time and work in the shade and do one lens at a
time like i did. sand and polish until desired results. once your happy with the
results apply Bluemagic plastic & plexiglass cleaner and light scratch remover
per instruction on the label. good luck!! be advised some head light lenses are
beyone repair and I wont and will not garantted the results.

Polishing works, but it is very time consuming and wont take care of any problems on the inside of the light. Im ready to pay for these things if they hold out water and look good.

My passenger side OEM Xenon lights is not working. Any ideas as to how to diagnose the problem? I read that it may be the igniter. Anyone have this problem?
