Those look great, I haven't seen low spec euros with yellow fogs before though.

Congrats.

Thanks. The reflectors are painted and it works pretty good.

Same as rectangular Euros. These use the same bulbs.

I think I like those better than the normal euros. Are they glass?

Me too. The benefits of Euros while retaining the bug-eye look.

They're constructed just like the rectangular Euros with a one-piece glass lens over the whole headlight.

be sure to get the light versions--there were 12-13.5lb versions, and 17-19lb versions. get the lighter ones, and you will go FASTER than you would with stock bundts provided you get lite tires

Thanks. I think it handles better with the CLK wheels. I use the stock bundts with snow tires for winter and they have a lot more bounce and roll in turns.

The 16" wheels allow you to feel the road more and the car feels more stable.

Could never warm up to the early CLK rims. They look like a cheap oversized donut rim to me. The later version CLK rims, now those look great.

WoW

Chad I REALLY like those. Were they expensive? Since you swiped my ultralight retro look CLK wheel idea,lol, I'm going to follow your lead on those headlights if I can find some. My Depos are working fine, but the look is only a little better than stock US. Darn I was statisfied until I saw yours. Have you seen any others for sale? I never have?
