Clk430 Headlight Modification

Hey,

I just purchased a Mercedes Benz CLK430 2002. As a result, I would like to update the Headlights; due to the fact the stock ones appear old and dull. I have been researching the internet for a new set of headlights but i always come across the "Cheese Graders." In my personal opinion the "Cheese Graders" do not meet my expectations. Can anyone help me find Headlights for my car, W208?

Thus, i would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks
Steve

P.S. Additional Tuning Sites, and Purchasing Sites for the W208 are welcomed

Right now there isn't any other option for headlights other than those ones, which by the way are based off of the SL headlights and many people do like them. Personally, I wish these manufacturers would copy the E-Class headlights, since our front ends look closer to those. There are a set that might be showing up later in the year which will look like the R-Class headlights which are projectors with the halo ring.





I will be waiting for these personally, but my biggest concern is making sure they will work with the factory xenon I have on my car. Which brings up another option for you which is getting factory xenon in place of halogen, if you have halogen.

As for increase in power for you, because you do have a 430, you could get a 55 airbox, K&N filters and ECU tuning that will give you a few extra hp, but to get more then that you would need to drop a s/c in there.

Good luck and welcome to the site.

Do you have the standard headlamps, or Xenons?
