Projector Headlights on w202??

[BLKc230]

How come there is not an aftermarket headlight assembly for our w202's??? they make them for every other car, including BMW and Audi, i dont see why thy dont make one for ours. I would really like to see a projector/halo stlye on the w202. You would think Bekkers would have made one by now...How can we make this happen>??

a few have attempted to make this...but never finished.

how much you willing to spend to get a custom projector headlights. Here is one of an Accord with E46 Projectors and custom housing

once you figure out how to do it, or if you do, let us know, i'll either pay you to do it, or make them myself if i am capable of following ur instruction... do you think if we got enough people who wanted them, and were possibly willing to pre-pay, we could get a company who makes after-market housing for other cars make them for ours>?? just a thought

My friend found a company that does do retrofit projector housings and said he could work on my w202 if i wanted. But he wanted me to check the lens and see if it was 2 parts to it. If it is 2 parts to the lens, then it could be done with a good pattern line. Otherwise, he said the grooves in the headlight lens will mess up the pattern and will not work as well as it should. I saw a gold w202 with clear headlight lens in this forum and i have no idea how he did it. If theres a way to get a clear headlight lens, then no matter what, you can get the full potential of projectors.

I want to do this as soon as possible but I wont be able to drive my car until there done since its my only set of headlights. I am currently looking for a used set just to have for bout 2 weeks until I finish it. If anyone can get me a set cheap let me know they can also be craked or with condensation I just need it so cops wont be on me.

the car looks good.. the custom projector are alright, i picture something a little cleaner in my head though, maybe it needs a clear lens, cuz it still looks frosted on the outside sorta, and a black housing instead of the chrome... but who am i to say, i got stock headlights.

[albanianbenz]

I think its hard to notice that they are retrofit which some people may prefer but I would rather have it stand out a bit, but with a clean look.

That guy's projectors are in the foglight position. slammedc- Did you finish your project? I remember seeing yours in the regular spot.

The company I spoke with can do it, but he said it's best to have a clear headlight lens. Is this possible to get or to make?

those look nice what kind of projectors do you have. They kinda look like the A6.

[SLAMMED_C]

the outer projectors are from a W163 Ml500- bi xenon.
the inners are from an R230.. but just the projector lense.. with regular xenon bulb.

[Kswiss]

What type of lens are you using with it? Is it clear? Did you trying using them? How is the cutoff beam?

[SLAMMED_C]

I dont have lenses yet.. but when I do make them.. they will be clear.

havent tried using them other then pluggin them into my harness to see if they worked after wiring them up!.. I need to remove my headlight so I can install the new one and aim the projectors and secure them in place.

slammed c i'm using the headlights of an 2004 e 320 that i found some guy had an accident and he bought brand new ones and was nice enough to give me the broken ones . the hid kit and the projectors were intact .the only problem is that the kit is in venezuela and im in aruba for vacation ,but i will be back to aruba in dec i also know this guy in venezuela that will mold the headlight lens out of the same material that bmw uses for theire headlights(a.k.a. polycarbonate) i will keep you guys up to date and ill try to do a how to also . kinda funny since it was looking at youre web page at cardomain that gave me the inspiration to do the retro upgrade:cool:
