Folks, seems everyone wants to get the new facelift headlights for the s-class..but I"m wondering if anybody would know if some aftermarket company is making them for our W221's.

For example:

http://www.carid.com/2007-mercedes-s...ts-267997.html

These are aftermarket...

And they already have plug and play taillights for the w221's led style all over ebay.

So i'm wondering if some thing will eventually come out and here is no need to spend $2000 for lights and getting the SAM's module and all that other stuff to make them work...

Any connections out there that would know?

Thanks.

i have a feeling given time they will come out and likely no need to go through hassle of SAM's module or other stuff hanging around. like you said, just like the taillights. the headlight conversion just got done by someone not long ago, few months? it will probably take a little while. from searching old threads, the taillight conversions started with oem taillights some time last year and the ebay ones came got popular not very long ago

Hopefully the picture on that website is stock and not the actuall headlights

I'd do rear but I would probably not skimp on the headlights as the aftermarket projectors might be poorly design and the beam pattern might be all whack out and would actually decrease visibility.

I can live with spending the 1500-2k for the OEM headlights but to drop 800-900 for some harness is plain crazy for me.

You know I have to agree with your point on the lights....i'm sure it may be cheap, degraded performance....but that 800-900 for the harness doesn't even include adaptive feature..that's like another 800 or so....

rominl

same here, the price for the headlights is totally doable. but another 50% for harness that throws everything off.

regarding the projectors and such, i guess it also comes down to the manufacturer and details. you'd be surprised who truly make some of these headlights and projectors.

Just did an online chat with the guys over at CarID and they said that they are releasing headlights for the 2007+ S550 in about a month.

Almost Done! Actually a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Try to do most of the work yourself. Save major $$$.
