2003 Mercedes-Benz C230 Headlight Replacement Help



Hello, so my w203 recently got into the accident and the passenger side of the front car is damaged. I have a 2003 M-Benz C230 Kompressor Sedan with the Non AMG package and the headlight of the car is pushed in and it seems like the mounts are broken so only the headlight needs to be replaced. But I can't seem to find a original light. Can someone give me a link for projector lights or OEM lights for my benz? I don't want to make any mods to the harnesses so basically I just need to replace the headlights and use the existing wires without any mods. Also, I need the side trim as its cracked and I'm getting an error showing the right passenger side light is out. So I basically need the front bumper impact trim and a pair of headlights. If anyone knows where I can buy these, please let me know ASAP. Thank you.

i did look on eBay and I took a look at the spyder head lights, but I'm just not quite sure if it'll be a perfect bolt on fit.

Also, "PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES BEFORE PURCHASE
Note 1: For halogen model only (will not fit factory equipped xenon models)." I'm not sure if I have the halogen model lights or the xenon model ones so I'm confused as to which one I should order.

Disclaimer, I'm new to this site. Please excuse and let me know if it's against the rules to mention the following or to post links. Various car forums have widely varying policies.

For the original poster:
First note that the 4-door Sedan C230s and the 2-door Coupe C230s take different headlights! Also, the grille, hood, and some other items are different.

If you want stock replacements, give Pelican Parts a call. I called about an order I was going to place to find out how shipping would be done for the longer lead items (later delivery dates). I have to say, that the guy that I talked to was very helpful and great to work with!

Link to the headlights for your car on the Pelican Parts website:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...pg4.htm#item16

I just checked, Pelican Parts is a supporting vendor:
https://mbworld.org/forums/vendor_directory.php

So,
http://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Inf...BZ&SVSVSI=3521
Genuine Mercedes-Benz Headlamp Assembly, (Halogen)
Part #: 203-820-09-61-MBZ $276.00

Genuine Mercedes-Benz Headlamp Assembly, (Halogen)
Part #: 203-820-10-61-MBZ $276.00




Also, Rockauto.com is the place to order car parts online. Their prices may not be the best, but their prices are close, and they do a good job packing.
To navigate:
MERCEDES-BENZ 2003 C230 1.8L L4 Supercharged Body Headlamp Assembly

Direct Link:
http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/m...assembly,10762


If you want projection headlights that are plug and play with your original halogen, then I found one on ebay that should work.
(do an ebay search on the description, and it'll take you to the item)
DEPO-01-07-Mercedes-Benz-W203-4DR-5DR-D2S-AMG-Bi-XENON-HIGH-LOW-HID-HEADLIGHT



Note, I make no claim as to which headlight selection is the best. I'm just pointing out options.

The headlights on my recently acquired 2005 C230 Sports Coupe were a little hazy. Imho, now is a good time for me to replace stuff that shows wear/age. So, I just went through the above options in getting new headlights for my C230.

Btw, your picture is upside down. I was wondering why the headlight looked so strange.

For the bumper trim, on ebay, search for:
c230 front bumper trim

I think the following may be what you're looking for:
(do an ebay search on the description, and it'll take you to the item)
Unpainted Front Bumper Molding Stripe+Chrome Trim For Mercedes Benz W203 00-07


Again, be careful that the trim is for a sedan, and not for a Coupe. Some sellers list the coupe as a "hatchback".
