Cool Help: Suggestions for light upgrades

Guys, can you help me decide on which headlights I should upgrade to? I have a WHITE 1998 S320 LWB. I am wondering which is the best look for the car. From the pictures below, please comment.





Thanks for the input!

I don't have experience with either of those brands, but I think both would look strange. Go with the Egale Eyes if you really desire the change. The other set just looks too funny with the projectors inside a housing that is boxed shaped.

My two cents, but who's listening anyway.

I wouldnt do either of them if i were you...the s140 is a very square/boxy car. those headlights will make your car look retarded imo. if you want to upgrade yourlight, id consider a xenon conversion? my s600 has factory xnonx and at night time it looks great. but even then. the 97+ w140 headlamps arent old looking at all..not like they fade or anytthing since its glass...they dotn make em like the used to!

I have to agree... Leave them stock and install HID's if you want something different.
