Exclamation NON Xenon 2003 Headlights

Does anyone know what these look like? All I want is the 2003 look, I don't care about the Xenon or Bi-Xenon option.

Are the non Xenon '03 headlights a direct bolt on replacement?

I just want the projector headlight look. If anyone knows please respond.

Yes, direct plug and play. Tell the installer to use the original bolts and not the

one that came with the lights.

If you want the 2003 Houseing with projector but no BI-Xenon Bulbs or Ballasts you cant because the socket is a D2S Socket for the HID capsule and the HID projector would make a really bad beam pattern with a halogen bulb because of its low lumens. I would just go for the whole deal Projector with HID.

Try HenryLampa on ebay I bought so much stuff from him and its all great and cheap in price.

Frozen, all the 2003s come with projector headlights. On the S430, Bi-Xenons are still an option, so although they have projector type headlights, they are NOT Xenons, therefore, they should bold right up to our old lights just like Ansonnn says.

I'll know for sure on Monday, going to the dealership to buy some.

Oic So they look just like the 2003 Bi-Xenon without the HID option. Still I would rather invest a little more and get the Xenons the Lighting performance and look are dramatic.

That's a good question. On another note, if I don't halogen (non-HID) lights, can I get non-hid 2003 lights and add an HID bulb kit to it?
