LOL, Freddy is going to be pissed! I dunno if I'm feelin these either. Why is the whole thing not blacked out and why the strainer look still? Looks a million times better than chrome though. Thanks for the link.

Is this the "black" projectors we've been waiting for for so long or is there another one coming out that looks better?

Man i'm pissed now.
If some one buys the black ones and don't like them how they look i'm willing to trade the chrome set for the black ones and i will give you the $3.00 difference.
I want the black ones so bad now. The chrome set i have are still brand new and not install on the car yet.

It seems nobody has bought same and installed on their clk,

I am looking to buy one however what i am afraid is that if same has installation problems then i have a big problem.

Has anybody seen an alternative other than procarparts.com ?? Have seen one in performance performance products4benz.com but same is not black.

do you think it's worth to pay around usd 800.- for same ?

If they were plug and play, then I would buy and install them. I would take pics and show them to everyone. But, my lights aren't HID's already so I would have to do even more work. Sounds like too much work, time and money for something that is questionable if it will look right. I wish somebody would make something for our model because that would finish my front end of the car. The headlights are the only thing that looks old and outdated. Anyways, good luck!

Hi,

This is what i am after. If somebody installed same to their car they would give us an idea how they did it...Thats why i asked the question whether somebody has installed.
It says plug and play but we may never be certain unless somebody has done it..

people have installed the chrome version and it is a simple plug and play, you do not need to have ffactory HID. But for the price its a bit too much, not sure if I like it better than the chrome ones
