Photos of cars with after market headlights
Hey guys...just curious what your cars look like after upgrading to after market headlights. Also curious if the ones found on ebay would be direct plug in replacements for my 1999 slk 230 or if any modifications would need to be done to the wiring to make them work. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank

There are a lot of pics on here if you do a search for headlights.

I appreciate the photo! I have been trying to decide between xenon or regular, as well as chrome or black ...these photos should help me to make up my mind.

Thanks!
Tom.

The black set looks good on a black car. I am glad that I went with the chrome ones for my red car.

It sure is slow here on this forum so I thought I would bump this to the top. I just washed and waxed my car as well.

Those look great... definitely like the projector better.

They look as though they came from the factory.

Headlights just plug and play. Easy to install. Pre 2000 SLKs need an adaptor loom from MB.

Grill came from DJH Germany. Mine is for sale.

The direction of the shadow mask in the lights will be different so you don't blind other drivers coming at you.

What kind of light do these give off? Are the "dual halo projectors" a similar light output to the stock xenon's on 170's?

I have a question regarding the number for the bulbs. Will 12K do okay on a slk230?
