Actually, on that specific car, I think they look very fitting. Its very nice. On my car, no, they would look stupid. But that black car with the hood and grille, very, very clean.

.. I want to re-do the paint job too, much later on in the future though lol. Blackest possible .

Btw here is the eBay listing for those asking prices

Diamond Projector Headlights

I want my car to look exactly like that . Well color and front end heh.

There is also these but they remind me of the previous E-Class model. Too round?

The inner circle closest to the grill right? It's got a bulb in it, what could it be for?

It's bad. People on Benzworld love deisels and WVO and "the good old days".

I like the older grille too, though.

Actually yea, I think it is the high beam. Cause on the listing it says the low beam is "perfect" for HID Retrofitting. So the low beam is the round projector?

They look nice in specific applications... I wonder how they would fit on my car with the facelift hood?

93 300SE Rauch "Smoke"
I went to a car auction the other nite when I spotted a white 300E! When I looked at the front end and looked at the year on the windshield which said 91! But the front end looked like my 95 E420? Then I spotted the salvage title markings I fig someone swapped out the front end. But I did not want the salvage title so I laid off it! Now I know it can be done!!
