Smoked headlights don't make sense to me.
Why would you want to produce less light when everyone else is going the opposite direction and want more light?

Unless your car is strickly a show car, isn't that against DOT as well?

I would say stay with what you have already. Xenon kits look great by themselves.

Cause I dont like being like everyone else. Also living in Florida, we do not have enforced laws on stuff like that.

So does anyone have information about these headlights? Please only respond if your talking about the headlights, i would like to keep this thread on topic.

I'm very excited to hear some news on these things...these would look awesome on a black car!

Thanks

I know what you are talking about, I've seen these covers on lots of SUVs, Mustangs, etc. They are not legal in many states. But those laws are seldom enforced. I have never seen any for a W210 mercedes. Most of them I've seen are smoked plastic and pop on and off. Looking at the construction of the headlight assembly, it seems to me it would be very difficult to engineer one to fit the W210. I agree, they look great on a blacked out car.

I wouldent mind those neither, but I dont think they make those for a W210 neither...I'm actually talking about a whole new kit for the mercedes. Its a whole set up of smoked headlights...No covers!!! I've only seen this on ebay, and i did a search on this forum and found that some people have bought these and LOVE them on there dark car. They just never posted pictures of what it looked like I also heard you can buy these from autoclass.net but i could not find them on the site. Ill go to the old post i found and get the name out of who owns this set and likes it alot..Maybe he will read this post and post some pictures of it :p

thanks for the reply man!

You can also try Bekkers as they sell OEM xenon replacement covers for around $150.00 ea. I am looking to replace just me xenon lenses as they have become dull and foggy. Post some pics. of your ride once you add those mods...
