Does anyone know what kind of polish to use to rerstore the original finish on the headlights? Mine is starting to yellow. I was hoping the projectors would be out by now but I guess I gotta polish my OEM ones for now. Even if you do curb your rims for some reason, if you're getting 3 piece iforged wheels you can just replace the barrel (not the whole wheel).

polishing has be covered here ad nauseum. It is a tremendous undertaking which, done right requires multiple grades of sandpaper, lots of water, bumper removal, and hours of labor. If you want to do it, go ahead, but it seems like these lightsare pretty close to being out.

In my opinion its exactly what the car needed. There are better front shots in the rides section of amgpower.com.

Unless someone has a source for a Lorinser Edition front Bumper at a reasonable price (not a replica).

It is possible but it would be totally out of fiberglass. If you really want one PM me to let me know how many or whatever and i'll give my guy a call. As for the bumper I have on its possible I can get one of thoose for you aswell but neither of them run cheap. PM me if your seriously interested.

I can't believe they used Depo projectors. The beam is barely adjustable and the light output is poor. The light beam basically bounces around in the housing and is lost. Well the housing looks nice but that pasta strainer shroud, wtf?

Honestly, if you have oem xenons (which have clear lenses), why would you want to replace them with anything posted here??
Everything looks like cheap aftermarket parts you'd by at PepBoys.....
I know eveyone's entitled to an opinion, but if I ever saw a clk with any of those projector headlights, Id think it belonged to some ignorant high schooler who thinks soupcan mufflers are "hot".
