To throw gas over the fire - I noticed that there are sets of chrome headlight rings on eBay for about half the price. Why are SteveML's better - does he get them from somewhere else (or make them)? Has anyone tried the eBay ones?

I am only asking because I bought a CL-style grille off of eBay and it's great and I paid about $150 which is roughly half of what formymercedes.com charges...

Whichever one is available (1 of 5)
Headlight trim does not look any better, nor worse. By the way, Samoan_Ridah, what a fantastic paint job. Even the headlight washer got painted over, and one can't see it with the new paint job.....LOL. May be your car has a twin?

The chrome headlight trim for W211 E class on the Formymercedes website are metal-chrome.

Almost 99% of other chrome trim's on the market are plastic.
