Corners that is. Took 3 weeks to come from Germany, but here they are, legit OEM amber corners.

I randomly found them on eBay, which must have been fate because 2 weeks before, I had one of my Depo clears pop out on the highway after hitting a bump.

To the other posters, they are extremely rare in the US as they never came on any USA model W202s. They must be imported.

They look nice. I hated the ones on mine so as I live in blighty (UK) I changed mine to the one piece euro projector kind (photo below) and as I live in a very rural area they give me much more visibility when driving home at night. The star is coming off the bonnet though just leaving the star grille (which I decided to keep after I got sent the wrong one).

Is that a Reiger front bumper on yours? I was thinking of one of those for myself but in the end have opted to chase down a C43 kit instead.

Looks great Boomin. I also want to note that your 202 tech site has been very helpful. Keep up the great work.

r u sure more visibility (unless u r driving on high beam all the time)?? i hv those headlights too and it's not as bright like a projector should be. prob it's the lenses.
light beam on a projector lamp should be spread out & this one doesn't do any of that. :(

Being delivered at the end of the week for £400 UK sterling. I'm not sure the guy knew he had what he had. Just have to get the bugger painted and fitted now.

Much better visibility I find. I live in a very rural area and driving with these Euro Projectors shows up a hell of a lot more. as do the rear LED'S I installed. When I put my foot on the brake at night nd look out the back windscreen it's almost like bloody daylight lol.

So you guys who have these newer styled projectors, do they require ballasts and such or do they literally plug right in where the OEM lamps were? Mine is a 99' c230 Kompressor, any idea what would need done for these to work in my car?
Your cars look great with them by the way!

You will only require ballasts if you have Xenons installed or HIDs. The projector headlights are just the way that the headlamps are designed, the bulb remains the same in the lamps.
