190e Headlight Question ??

Hi All

QUESTION: Have a 1991 190e 2.3L.

What do you consider the best projector headlights for a black 190e? HID or halogen? chrome, gray or black around the chrome projectors? How do you know they will fit, and if your car has Euro pins or not? And the big question, what source? I like Ebay since sellers have a service record to maintain, and you get the best price by far, usually. I've seen the HID for $254.99 on Ebay and am considering that.

Anybody happy or not happy with a purchase, and where did you get them from. Really appreciate your expert feedback!

New, old Mercedes and REAL AMG's.
You might want to post your question in the 190E section.

With that being said, in my experience the EBay aftermarket "HID" lights are crap. Nothing beats OEM ones with good light bulbs.

The problem is, American headlights look horrible. So what you can do is to install Euro headlights. Awesome look with OEM performance.
