Nice headlights, not a fan of that grill though, only like the star grill on the cars that come with it stock.

like the grill, mine has no star and so am looking at either your type grill or replacing bonnet star. Sorry to knock, but you have put up openly, I think the side stripes are a step too far for me

Nice job man! Hows the light source from the new headlights? Did you convert them?

Headlights look great. Care to share what brand, where you got them, and how much modification you did? I assume they're still HID, not a back-fit to regular.

Looks good... I plan on getting the star grill as well along with the headlights-

I would change the fog lamps and than it will be complete

Almost looks like an SL....

You can probably polish them back to like new. I've done my headlights with Plast-X, and it works. I keep meaning to try it on the fogs, because I know what you mean, they get kind of hazy and chipped looking.

I'm also curious where you got the clear side markers?
Are they of OEM quality?

I tried to polish the foglights with Plast-X today. Didn't do much. I think it would need sandpaper. It gets much more scratched than the headlights.

You'll need something more aggressive.
I've tried wet sanding and to me, it was a waste of time.
Look for the 3M Headlight polish kit. Less than $20 and your headlights will look nice a shiny again! All you need is a drill and away you go.
Not sure if you can do the fogs. Unless the lenses are made of plastic, which most aren't (made of glass) you'll have to try another way of polishing them.

Check out my newest addition. lol







I painted my side markers too, plus i'll be painting my grill and removing my front license bracket aswell. I bought a sweet flip up holder for it, when i'm city driving. Oh, and I added an AMG flat hood emblem....JEAH!

Horrible pic, but you get the idea...

Im getting an HID kit separately , not installed yet which was probably a mistake , because removing that bumper was a pain.

Light pattern seems to be better compared to an aftermarket all clear w210 lights that i put on on my gfs e320, cant compare the output since no HID yet.
Also these lights have groves on the bottom part of the chrome housing which reflect and look really cool kinda like angel light ring.
