While it seems that the only upgrade you need to do is OEM HID headlamps the price is really up there. I mean you are pushing the 1000 dollar mark. And for some thats not possible so what you gonna do?

Here is something to set yourself apart from the crowd. Black/Smoked style Oem E code lights for around 200 bucks!

My ride has smoked lights already, but I need the smoked corners to match better than the clears. You got a link?

These are usally found on German Ebay with a price of 200,00 Euros. Not bad then there is shipping.

However there is one set right now on US Ebay for 289.00 which sounds about right being that its location is North America.

Here is the link

Jeff,

Your C43 came with HID no?

Wow, this is pretty nice... but I can't see the full definition of the blackness but in person I'm sure they'll be sweet!

saw a picture of them on a white w202. Look like mine..doesn't seem like there is a difference.

As well, the seller writes that the US Spec lenses are plastic? Last I checked mine are glass.

Anyway to smoke them yourself?

Hello, I'm Benzmeister and a newbie to this board, I on the MCA and Benzworld boards for a while. I have a 1999 C280 which I bought in May of 02 as a starmark car. I traded in a 98 BMW Z3. for the Benz. I've owned a few luxuary cars in my day, but I must say the Benz is tops.

About the smoke headlamps the person on eBay Ladym57 is selling both the headlight and corner lens in smoked. I am very seriously considering buying them. They use H4 and or H3 bulbs and the courtesy light that you have built into your corner lamps and in the Euro version built into the headlight. This seller has a decent feedback, only 2 bad. There is another seller mercedes 991 who sell the Euro headlights, but there not smoke, I've done business with them and their good. I will be posting some pix of of the Benzmeister and hope to enjoy some good conversation and exchange of infor on this board. I finally found a board dedicatd to the W202.:)

If this black headlight uses H4 bulb that means this is an older style headlight
pre 97 model (US model)


97 and up W202 C class uses H7 for the low beam..


If anyone want to purchase this make sure that it is what you're looking for...

Hey, when you get it, can you let me know if there's any markings on the lights or the box to who made it? I want to find out the company that makes/distributes them...

Please note that these lights are after market lights...not the quality Bosch or Valeo lights that are sold from factory.
I know that the pre 97 US headlights are different from all rest of the world 202 lights, but for those who don't have the pre 97 US lights, it is easy to take off the glass and paint the plastic surround behind the glass black (currently gray and chrome in xenon headlights) and make the covers over the lights black from the outside (as is done in the xenon headlight) to get the same black look results...

greetingz,

Steve,

Can you please elaborate somewhat on your previous post.

So you can take off the glass outer lens, I have a 1999, C43 and expose the bulbs and reflectors. Then you can paint the areas behind the reflectors to black or gray.

You do not paint the reflectors that are located behind the bulbs right.

I hope I got that sort of right.

I think the corners should have the same layout to look good.

Thanks Etienne.. you beat me to it. Yes, that's the link the smoked headlight.. To be honest with you, they do not worth the money. They look ok.. but $250 plus shipping is abit steep!

They are nothing more than painted OEM unit. The paint is about an inch thick surrounding the bulb opening. The reflecting plastic around it enhances the darkness.

Thumb down on this one!

Yes, they are too dark, to bad they weren't smoked color like the middle of the rear light lenses in my C280. Question, did Mercedes use side markers on the W202? I see them advertized, but my 99 doesn't have any and I haven't seen a W202 with them

Thanks,:D :bunny:

yes but not in the US. So you can either buy them and drill holes in your fender or just do the ever posh
