It doesnt matter, it will still look good i'm sure. But it would look even better on the silver car if you got the smoked projectors ! You can get them from ebay

heres a pic.

I got them off of ebay. The ebay store was called optionracing.

Here are the exact ones i bought

i got my housing from optionracing too. they're actually good sellers. don't EVER buy from auto dynasty. they have horrible service. how's the fitment on your headlights? the only problem i have is with the right clear corner. it sits a little farther in than i'd like. i think i'm going to buy a new set of corners to see if i can get a better fitting one.

[vcruiser]

the fit is perfect. The guys who installed the headlights were really impressed and said that these are the best aftermarket headlights they'd seen. Im also impressed with the quality and fitment.

nice, now it looks like my car! lol! it looks great!

[Nelson Lago]

ya maby the smoked would look good. But only one problem..........................i have my HID'S for low beam and the projector part of those headlights are high beam....... so either i make my own projectors or some how put my low beams in the high beams and get those headlights

[mgill3]

lookin good!!! looks sick on a black 202.. nice job. I think i'll probably just keep my headlights stock cause i think that'll look best for my car but maybe change out the lights to HID's or just get some good silverstar bulbs. I think that blueish tint looks nice

[Brando457]

anyone have a picture of a silver w202 with the smoked projectors or clear ones installed?

Anything special besides their looks obviously?

I like the look but wow that appears to be a weak beam pattern for HIDs, can you get some more beam pattern shots or is it really that weak?

[bish0p]

i have that spot for my fogs and i'd have to say that those projectors are really weak. My bmw projectors out shine them any day.

I do. I had a hard time fitting them and the light quality is bad, especially from the pjs... Look at the last pic on this thread, the quality is also bad. They dont come with city lights and there is also a chance they will leak. Material is cheap plastic and low quality glass. You can actually tell the glass sucks. :( They look very nice though.

[vcruiser]

ive read a bunch of posts about these lights before i got them so nothing was new to me when i received them. Although they are more than decent for aftermarket.

i would like to change my headlights as well since one of them has a crack in it...

I'm getting confused as to what type of headlight would look good on my car: (a) OEM, (b) euro crystal headlight (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=180106863943&rd=1,1); (c) projectors type 1--as installed by vcruiser; (d) HID projectors type 2 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-01-MERCEDES-BENZ-W202-C-CLASS-HEADLIGHTS-H1-HID-CHR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ013QQitem Z230116426101QQrdZ1); or (e) projector type 3 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-00-MERCEDES-BENZ-C-CLASS-W202-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ00 5QQitemZ150111961813QQrdZ1)

if someone can at least photoshop them onto a silver 202 (i don't know how to use photoshop :(), that would be great.

[Nelson Lago]

I never see type C but ill say type E

[97C28O]

Swap out those projectors can get some S2K ones or something. I think someone did that on this forum with those headlights....

That retrofit was bish0p:
