Need confirmation ASAP

Hey guys so I bough this light lastnight off EBay and seller listed it as headlight for C55 C class 05-07 bi xenon so I bought it. It wasn't until today when I looked at the listing and realized that it might be regular C class, in which case it will not fit my CLK. I asked him to provide the part # from the light so I could verify but this is what I received. Can someone look and confirm if this will fit? I was hoping to see 209xxxxx as a part number but something completely different. Thanks.

Whatever that is off, it does not look to be an original part. Looks like an aftermarket Hella light. The date on it looks to be October 28, 2014, so it can't be original.

Plus, if you only bought one, even if original, C55 lights look different than your 550, I think. The shape may be the same, but the lights inside look different.

I went ahead and canceled the order. I used to have a C55 and didn't see a big sticker on my lights like that so I assumed the same thing you did. He originally told me in an email that it came off a C55. I asked for refund and suggested that he rephrase his title on the listing, as it is somewhat confusing. As far as the difference, it is same shape and should be same all around. My C55 lights and front end all had 209 on every part.

I look at a couple C55s for sale and the lights do not look the same to me. For example, our turn signals is like a little stalk with a bulb behind it and those diamond facets on the reflector. I do not see any of that on the C55.

The C55 and CLK headlights are the same. The C55 has a different front end from the regular W203 in order to accommodate the V8 engine. Not all parts fit, but the headlights do.
