Where can I start .... headlight mod

I really want to do an upgraded headlight mod as seen on so many of your sweet rides here. (zam, your work is amazing!) but i don't think i can budget the whole project now.

where can i start? can i get new assemblies that will really improve the look for now, but I can later mod to put in the new projectors/ballasts/bulbs? I really like the looks of these, but don't know exactly what I'm looking for. Please help!

Go with the Depo one if you can, it's easier if you want to upgrade later one, and is a better build quality.

it will say depo on it

I would recommend ebay, they have them for around $300. Just type in "depo w210 headlights" or something similar. They are very easy to install on w210s 96-99.
