CLK 430
New CLK
I finally got my first mercedes a 2000 clk 430 I am soooo happy. I have two questions now, but probably alot more on the way 
First off I was wondering if I could take my car to a mercedes dealership and get xenons in it, or if I would have to buy aftermarket xenon lights. Second I have seen alot of clks without the traditional mercedes popup emblem. Like the cl's. Where would I get that and how much would it cost? Thanks for any help

Congrats ! If you want Xenon headlights, I wouldn't recommend you to buy it from the dealer because it's way too expensive, you can often find good Xenon headlights for half of the dealer price.
If you're talking about replacing the MB star sticks out on the hood, you can purchase one online for roughly $30-$50. It makes the car look sportier.

CLK 430
While I am unloading my millions of questions which HID kit is better? Are either of them any good?
HID #1
HID #2
Or would I be better off getting factory hid's from here ?:

I didn't know the guy but it sounded like he had a manual. So maybe he couldn't shift well. It was an older guy.
I have a 2002 430 with just the AMG exhaust and K&Ns but I doubt if those give me that much more power.

the U.S. version of the E36 M3 is not as fast as the Euro version, but it is definitely faster than the CLK430 if running stock vs stock. the CLK is much heavier than the E36 M3. on freeway runs the CLK430 will be easier to accelerate because of the V8. at the light M3 will kick CLK430's *** if the driver knows how to drive the 5-spd.

Congrats on the new CLK
Get some HID lamps for those circular fog lamps that come with the 430. It would look sweet.
