$114.- shipped, not bad the price but someone here said those lights do not have the Mercedes look, that dampened my expectation a little bit.

I am not doing well, still needs to figure out how to remove the headlight wipers, see no screws and don't want to break anything.
I'll take before-and-after pix.

btw, You 300CE has a beautiful color.
Thanks for the compliment. As I get older I like red more and more. Seems like I read someplace that looking at red color elevates a man's testosterone levels.

I will dig for pics that I took which show how the wipers are removed. I think that they are in my other computer.

Basically you grab the headlight wiper arm and flip it down, towards you. When the arm is parallel to the bumper, you will see the nut that holds the wiper arm in place on the motor shaft. Unscrew that nut and pull the whole arm away from the motor shaft. You also need to disconnect the water hose leading to the wiper arm.

Like I said, I will look for the pics and post them.

The lights that you bought have a different look (compare them to mine). I've seen a lot of cars with those kinds of lights, so there are people who do like them. The most important thing about chaning the US-spec lights is to get better lighting down the road.

If you like them, and they light up the road, that's all that matters. If not, you can sell them here and buy DEPO or Bosch lights.
