looks great. Euro headlights and wipers and get a new plastic grill insert (I got one on ebay for $10) and the front end will look as good as the rest. But I shudder at the maintenance/repair costs. [shudder].

BMW Killer, where did you get the clear headlights? I saw a pair on Ebay the other day, but by I was not fast enough with my response and lost them. So I am still looking for a set like the ones you have on your car.

BMW Killer, I have the same set of headlights as the one on your car. Altho it appears that you purchased them from a mercedes parts store, I doubt that the headlights are an MBZ OEM item. Mine was made by a company called Eagle Eyes, a Taiwanese company.
