Great mod!!! Noticed that some of the new models come with black headlights

I made this video 5 years ago, when I first painted my headlights.


The comments are amazing! This mod has been called ghetto, and a few other things that are racist. Strange thing is that lots of new cars on the market today come with black headlights! They look great!!

Hay , Khelawanb Thanks for compliments your car is "OUT COLD TOO", What's ghetto some idiots need to get a english dictionary out and read it. The black head light housing is a new trend in car styling , just like the daylight LED running lights . Its the same thing as all the cars copying the CLS slope styling in some fashion or form . It does look great what ever style you do. If we all remember Canada instituted daylight running lights to reduce accidents and it does it's a fact. The auto industry jumped on it as cosmetic style change that actually is useful for once . Audi the 1st to come out with the LED string running lights and their sales just sky rocketed . That set them apart from all auto companies and now their copied by their competitors. I know people who bought Audi's just for the LED running lights. Some cars don't look better with Black head lights housings some do , same with this LED running lights. Thanks Badm

Also its just totally changes the LOOK of a CLS or any other BENZ and the compliments you get from people are "UNREAL"

Does anyone know of someone in South Florida that can do this for me? I can't find anyone =/

about this 1 fin grill: does there ever was an original grill like this to fit CLS, or is it a custom aftermrket item ?

Any one know where to get JUST headlight lenses? Mine look like crap

M1RAG3

no there was never an OEM one to fit the W219 CLS i.e. models up to 2011...the W218 CLS models (2012+) come with the one-fin grille OEM

Jawzey

Looks wonderful. Who did that for you?

Ahmad550

Thanks, into the car. Flushing NY.

djrabbi

They does look good, how much was cost?

Ahmad550

Around $700 that's with 2 way shipping

djrabbi

not bad, I wanted dual projectors. Shoot me their info!

TheVazha

Is there a DIY? I cant imagine there's anything difficult about the job. Seems like a precision prep job but after that it's a spray correct?

Link to a DIY? Does anyone know what kind of paint is used? Has anyone seen it done? For $700 I hope it's not paint out of a rattler.

Ahmad550

Nope, it's painted professionally with auto paint and the same color code as my exterior, I've had my share with the cheap spray paint, those are brand new headlights btw, I couldn't save my old ones, also a lot of parts was involved in the process.

TheVazha

Yeah yours looks amazing.

Not everyone is doing it the way you have it set up, I guess? I'm thinking of a DIY for a huge fraction of the cost. Really you just need some good tape, some really good paint, and lots of patience. The painted portion is under glass and I dont think anyone will inspect it with a microscope. I'm not saying butcher the job but if you are skilled with paint why not DIY..?

I think a satin finish would look insane. The glass portion of the headlight would give it enough "gloss" to make it look just shiny enough but still a hint of matte underneath..

Plus, with the money you save you can get a pulley and tune.

TheVazha

Sorry, I just read this.. The $700 is for the dual projectors and paint correct, not just the paint?

dyno

thanks

I like very much the LED surround thing
but would like to see more close. As far as I understand it is an add-on ring, right ? please take a pic from the side.

I wish someone just sold these aftermarket to avoid all this headache. I think I'm going to have lightwerkz.net do mine since I can't seem to find anyone willing to do it in South Florida.

I love those! NEED THEM!

Got mine done.. They look amazing. Night & Day difference..
