CLEAR LENSES for w202 headlights

**SLAMMED_C** · 09-06-2003, 04:34 PM

Just a few words of advice to u all.. anyone that is considering building projector xenons for their W202 that is!! there is less room in those stock W202 headlight assemblies than u think!! I found that out.. its very difficult to put more than one projector in there.. a benz projector that is.. since I'm using ML500 Bi-xenon projectors for my project!! with all u talking about using nissan and VW projectors.. maybe u can fit them in easily.. dont know how big they r.. I only used Benz parts cause I can get them for free!! I didnt want to have to go out and buy anything. why not use OEM parts!! lol
good luck to u all.. and there r gonna be some crazy W202 running around with some sick headlights!! lets all post pics of our progress!!

No biggie, Nokia. It was a fender bender during a friendly race at the Stapelton - at turn #3. I shouldve known better than to test the suspension without the powertrain being completely finished.

The bad thing is that no insurance will cover this damage

Anyway, I have appointment on next tuesday for the fitting and finishing touch the cover! Hopefully, the result would be what I expected.

Stay tune for pictures!

LOL... too bad..The benz is not insured..neither is the other track car. No worries... I found most of the parts already.

The C is a project car. It spends most of its time on the lift if not the parking lot at work. I drive it once a while.. but it is far from being completely done. So I figure I would wait 'til everything is done and go through the emission test, and finally get it insured.

The M3 is my buddy's project car also. We just finished installing downpipe and catback that morning, and decided to go to the track to see what kind of suspension upgrade it would need. Then the accident happened.

He runs a small dealership, he couldve claim his damage on his commercial insurance. But both of cars' damages are at minimal considering what happened. I am just happy I didnt bent my rim.

is this what you talking about?

Sigh..this is one project that I never got around to doing..I had bought a set of single projector, dual angel eye headlights for a civic and took them apart...maybe i'll play around with it this weekend since it's going to rain...

**SLAMMED_C** · 09-12-2003, 04:50 PM

I'm getting closer to being done!! I wired up my headlight last night.. and tried it today in my car.. just unpluged my stock headlight and pluged in my new one. I couldnt believe it either!! it actually works.. the xenon light up, then I flicked my high beam on and high beam xenon!! then I pulled out the knob for fog.. it worked too.. everything worked! I'll have to take pics of it working so u can see it!! looks a bit rough now.. all the bits r inside the headlight housing just sitting there.. next is to actually mount the projector in my headlight and glue it in place.

**Scotty-C190E** · 09-12-2003, 06:50 PM

I hope this looks better than it sounds...lol...glue??

**Three Point 6** · 09-18-2003, 06:36 PM

I've been told that only 97+ have removable lenses?? I guess I'm wrong! I'm down for some new covers for sure.

**SLAMMED_C** · 09-21-2003, 07:06 PM

glue.. well epoxy the projector assembly into place in my stock W202 housing. kinda hard to describe. trust me!!

ur right.. I'm not sure what year it is.. 97+ might be right.. but the glass lense is replaceable on the headlight.. just for some reason the older 202's needed a whole headlight assembly if the glass was cracked.. such a rip off if u ask me!!

CKlasse · 09-30-2003, 07:54 AM

Anyone wanna volunteer their 'cracked' or used 97+ lenses? Thanks

**95c280** · 11-30-2004, 11:05 PM

Any news on the projector light project and the polycarbonate clear lenses? I would be interested in installing projector xenon lights too.

**eddieo45** · 12-03-2004, 04:22 AM

If you're still "collecting" forums, try these as well:

for mechanical advice...
similar to MBWorld....
more 203 than 202, but someday....
cell phones....
plumbing!....

the plumbing one needs a little help, but I'm a big do-it-yourself-er, and am always on the lookout for expert help. now, if I could only find architecture and construction!

**grkpmpn69** · 12-03-2004, 10:36 AM

**Rocket** · 12-06-2004, 03:54 AM
