Awesome car. I like the light and dark contrast. MIne is all black with all black 20s. I'm considering spraying it light grey after I've built my Black Edition rear arches from fibreglass.
That set up lookin clean 🔥
Thank you mamas 😘
i was trying to get some but they are out of stock do you know by chnace if they will eventually be back on stock
@@alangutierrez4788 I wish I knew, every time i look, they’re all sold out. I got lucky and found mine on Amazon but you might have A LOT of luck on Facebook groups. I know a few people are selling them on there.
wish they made these for the facelift version im not sure why they didnt. Nice video bro
Thanks bro ! Yea a lot of people want this style for the facelift. I know they have a pair but the led is like a “C” shape
Great vid! I wanna try that, too.
Thanks bro ! Definitely recommend it !
You can adjust the bracket in the back
10000% better wow
You can adjust the space from the inside lights
To get rid of the gaps u have to take the rubber molding off your old lights assembly and put around the aftermarket assembly
That’s what will fill the gaps in
I’ll have to look at the old ones. Thanks. It’s better now that I adjusted some screws. But still not perfect
Thoses stars screw you mentioned on top of the Light is some adjustement screw to fit Them good!
Thank you 🙏🏽 it’s been bothering me.
@@Shawnessey your welcome a w204 owner have to help another w204 owner! 🤙
what bulbs do you recommend? looking for white leds, highs and lows !
man if you out here in the Fort Worth/Saginaw area we need to link up when i get my C63 back up and running. Great video
Hell yea bro. That’s exactly where I’m at all the time. I used to work at the MR. froze in Saginaw 😂
@@Shawnessey that’s awesome. never been but my wife loves it!
Looks clean
Thank you bro 😎
@@Shawnessey hope I can get mine there looking that good
You definitely can!! Give me a follow on IG, I’ll follow back. I’d love to see the Benz
Bouta get the same headlights, makes the car look newer
Yessir ! They look way better than the OEM ones. Easy install too.
Headlight is halogen / xenon / bixenon?
Hello. Here a owner of a w204 from 2007. I saw your car and your side mirrors. I was thinking about to change the pre restyling for the restyling. Do they fix in?
Sorry for my English I am not american
My connectors didn’t fit or atleast that’s what my brother told me any fix u can think of?
Thank you!
🙏🏽 thanks for watching !!
Damn boy amazing. Hi from Turkey. I got w204 too want to buy one of these but hard to find
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you 🙏🏽 and they are very hard to find, I was lucky and found them on Amazon.
What lights are these ?
Looks clean bro👍🏽
Thank you 🙏🏽
Welcome!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏🏽 can’t wait to complete the look
awesome
I will be sure to show you support. New subscriber.
Dope video bro is there any possible way to replace the head light s without removing the bumper?
Thank you bro 🙏🏽
Unfortunately no, just because there are, if I remember correctly, 2 or 4 bolts behind the bumper that need to be removed for the lights.
@@Shawnessey thank you man for the reply
Any time bro. Hopefully it helps you with a future install.
He’ll yeah w204 family
Thanks bro ! Still more videos and work to come !!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@shawnessey. Now that you have had these for a few years have you noticed any errors. I purchased a set of these and day one Im getting "check parking light" errors on the dash. Both sets of resistors are installed.
None at all. Mine haven’t gave me any issues
I'm about to get these. I think I need to get some better bulbs. A lot of people were saying they were too low.
Correct. I had to get the LED’s. The bulbs that come with these suck
@@Shawnesseywhich ones did u get?
@@voke425 I ended up going with these
a.co/d/0f8MiY8l
Did you end changing the bulbs in looking for some bulbs to upgrade to
I did end up changing them. I went with these right here.

I've had some of these headlamps before on other vehicles... they look beautiful, but fitment is poor and the projector light output is crap, and the DRL / LED strip is dim in daylight. How are they doing almost a year later? Still happy with them?
Really ? Man I’m sorry you experienced that. My DRL’s in the day time are very bright. I agree on the lighting being crap, I had to upgrade to some strong LED’s and now they’re bright and light up the road. As far as fitment I got them to almost be flush.
much better
Thank you 🙏🏽
Did your Oem one have halogen lights? I’m trying to upgrade mines but I heard the halogen and HID(bi- xenon) headlamps are a bit different. I don’t want to order and turns out it was too small or too big for my hid headlamps
Yea mine were halogen. But the bulb size is different. When I bought these they came as H9’s so I ordered a new set of LEDs
Can you recommend for me the brand of headlight,and led star emblem
Headlamps are Spec-D, and the LeD star I got from Amazon.
Here’s the star link
Car Front Grille Star Emblem LED Logo Works with Mercedes Benz 2006-2013 Illuminated LED Badge Light White www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQSYZRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5G5DD8VH2X2Q78QR3XN3
I have a c300 2015 you think there’s a way i could get these installed instead of the ones I have now
Ohhhh that’s a nice body ! I want one. But these lights won’t fit your body. Here’s a link for your car. They’re kinda pricy, but I think all newer Mercedes’ lights are around this price. If I find any cheaper ones I’ll post the link for you.
MICROPOWER LED Headlights for Mercedes Benz W205 C300 C-Class 2015 2016 2017 2018, Front Headlamp Assembly with Full LED DRL, Driver and Passenger Sides (Only Suitable for Benz with OEM Halogen Light)
How did you get the lights to fit the car better? Mine are slightly off with gaps especially on the lower part of the light. Any suggestions?
Yes! There are 2 or 3 screws you can adjust when installing the light. It’s the ones that hold the actual lamp to the car. You just have to mess around with them and they slightly move the headlamp into fitment. Mines not perfect but WAYYY BETTER.
My suggestion is go clockwise or counter and twist the bolts a few times before moving to the next bolt. Just don’t tighten one all the way then go to the next.
@@Shawnessey Thank you very much, I will try it out.
Nice 🌺
Any possible way to make this fit on a w204 c63 hid modep
I know a few people have done it. I wouldn’t know how to be honest.
But I’d ask in a W204 group on Facebook. I think you have to redo some wiring by the headlights but nothing too crazy
Would these would work on a car with factory bi-xenon or is the light output going to be bad or am i going to blind everyone?
These will NOT work for OEM HID’s/ bi-xenon.
However, if you aren’t afraid to do a little wire cutting and soldering then it’ll work. I’d recommend a shop for that unless you’re extremely good with electronics and wiring.
how did you get ur gaps even that even. mine look absolutely terrible i can’t even aim my lights they’re all loose and whatnot idk what i did wrong.
There’s 2 screws you have to adjust in your headlights to make sure they sit flush. It takes some time but it’s worth it
Those gaps though yikes, I wish someone make video get distronic with illuminated star working only found 1 guy on forum
What kind of LED headlight bulb are you using bro?
I’m using this brand, but my headlights are H11 not the OEM size which is H7.
I have the H7’s laying around if you’re looking for some

hey bro where did you put those cable boxes that connect to those two cables. im kind of scared of where to place it wouldn’t it mess up the wires if its gets too hot, sorry idk much
I used double sided tape and mounted them right under the headlamp
@@Shawnessey Okay! and one more question did you have to buy your own turn signal lights for the headlights? mine seem not to work but everything else does for some reason
@@georgehernandez7823 na not at all. Mine was all plug and play and everything worked. I know there’s is another style like mine but the blinker isn’t dynamic
Where did you get the lip from and for how much?
I got it on EBay for $175. Comes matte black.
What are the name of these and where did you get em? Would they fit my 2008 c300 mercedes?
Yes they would fit.
They’re called “ Spec - D Headlamps “
I need to get just the c300 led headlights ballasts
Yea you can actually find them on eBay. I’d take your current one off and match the numbers up on the bottom. I think they run about $70
Did u fix the gap
@@johnnyrosado232 my bad I’m just seeing this, but yes I did ! It’s not perfect but WAY BETTER.
I got a c300 I'm doing 2008 to 2014 conversion
Where you get the lip from ?
Puse las cajas como indicó y no funcionó los indicadores
If they didn’t work, return them for a new pair. They should be an easy install
Was the main big connector the same as the oem ?
Yessir. For me it was a direct plug and play fit
Hey where did you get this bumper lip ❓
@simon- I got it off eBay. “ w204 front lip “
You got ig got a question about these
@shawnessey.90
Bro I’m installing mine and when I unlock car they don’t turn on like that anymore ?Also the headlights and high beams don’t work as well
You have to transfer over the ballast from the OEM light too
@@Shawnessey dang bro what if I threw the old headlights away can I fix it somehow
Hey I got a question did you use that same connector for the new headlights? I got these headlights & my connector is different I need to buy the right connector & cut the ones I have & install the right one?
@@BryGuyPR hey what’s up ! Yea I believe so, the only thing I switch out was the bulb size itself. It’s different from the OEM size
@@Shawnesseyoh okay I’ll be getting the same connectors you have from eBay thank you for the response I got them yesterday & when I went to take off mine the connector was different I have a C350 amg edition 2008
Have you experienced any condensation in the headlights?
No sir! None at all ! Only thing with the headlights is the clear cost came off a little bit, but my car sits in the sun all day. Texas gets pretty hot. Other than that, no issues
I was going to say that.. aftermarket lights usually you seal. Every set I’ve gotten had condensation. Also I live in dfw… after about 6 months they all peel. Whatever coating they use. My Silverado in 10 years has gone through 4 sets because they look junk after a while. Didn’t matter if I bought bargain 300$ lights or 600$ sets. Texas heat is brutal
GOOD i have c300 , is possible ? i have xenon
Not sure about the Xenon fit, mine is Halogen and came with bulbs but I replaced them with LED’s.
Can’t find these in stock anywhere but want them so bad
Yea they’re hard to find!
If you’re on Facebook, join some W204 groups and you’ll find some in there. People always sell them in there
Ebay but i paid $837 total
Where did u buy the head lights
I got them on Amazon a while back, but I know they’ve been out of stock for a while. Someone recently said the Spec-D website just got some in stock. I’d check there.
Where did you get tht emblem
I got it from Amazon. I just looked up “W204 LED star”
So it wont fit a 2012 c300?
Not these lights. Sorry for the late reply, but these are for the pre facelift.
Get the one blade grill
I have it now. It looks better. I have to post more videos 😂
What’s the front lip called and where did you get it from?
I just typed in “ W204 Front Lip “ on eBay. Just make sure it fits your car, I believe the Pre-Facelift and facelift lips are a little different in dimensions.
@@Shawnessey thank you bro! I have the pre-facelift 2008 c300 so I’ll make sure to look for that
@@Junior_rivera awesome bro ! Can’t wait to see it. I was gonna send you the link I used but his price is stupid high now. It’s selling for $700!!! I got mine for $170 at the time. Mines also a one piece, I see they have 3 piece sets everywhere.
Hey man I just bought these and I’m having a problem no low beams or high beams just the led strip works any ideas ?
Could be bad bulbs bro. I’ve seen some people say theirs cane with non working bulbs. I’d try changing them out with LED’s
I see I installed some hids still nothing , ill get some new bulbs and see what happens thanks for replying
@@user-sr1ci5eo1d make sure you transfer the OEM ballast from the old lights too. I figured you did since the LED strip was on.
You got a ig I can message you ?
How much for those old stock lights?
Shoot me an offer on ig @shawnessey.90
Can this fit in a c250 ?
I don’t think so to be honest. If I remember correctly, all c250’s are the facelift model. Your headlight probably has a small dip by the hood
Curious which H7 led bulbs brand do you have? I also tried a few and nothing worked for the w204
You have to get some that are CANBUS ready. Otherwise they won’t work. They’ll flicker and then go out. You could always get some relays but CANBUS ready avoids all that and is just plug and play. My OEMS were H7, but for these they are H9. I’ll post the brand. Let me find the link. And if you need some H7 I have my old ones laying around.
@@Shawnessey thanks I have some H7 leds laying around. I just did some digging and found one listing for canbus that has worked for couple GLC. Hopefully it’ll work.
Awesome ! Sorry for a late link post but these are the ones I used. NEVER had any issues.

@@Shawnessey is this link for the leds for these headlights? i recently bought these and expected to them be much brighter. looking for led not sure on which to get, any help?
@@TonySnow. that link above is for OEM headlamps. Let me post the ones I have for these headlamps.
Do you know where to get it
No luck online from what I’ve seen. But if you’re on Facebook, there’s some Mercedes’ w204 groups that sell some
What was the cost for headlights?
I paid $300 for them but they cost more now
would these be legal in the uk?
I don’t see why not, but I’m not aware of the UK laws. They do have these in chrome too.
I have the same headlights and it still had that gap.
Just wanna know what LEDs did you buy because I’ve tried so many and they don’t work they turn on and then flash on and off 5 times and then won’t stay on
Yea you have to mess with the screws on the back before tightening them to the car. Mine look better now, still not flushed. But if you go on Amazon and just type in CANBUS READY LED’S. They work for our car.
I have this brand

@@Shawnessey thank you! I will order them and give them a shot. Hopefully these are the ones no more errors or struggling to see pot wholes at night 🥰
@@Shawnessey oh yeah btw did u use these both for hi and low beams?
@@Mazystar4sure to be honest I can’t remember 😂 but I believe I do have both for low and hi. I just can’t remember if it’s the same bulb size
@@Mazystar4sure anytime ! And they’re bright for sure. Get some fogs and they really stand out. I couldn’t use these on my fogs tho because the adapter on my fog light
For the new set, do they use h9 or h7? If not h7, how did you fit the socket?!
For me my new set came as H9. I just ordered new LEDs
@@Shawnessey ok, but that means you’ve ordered h11/h7 h9/h7 adapter/converter harness?! If so, can you provide the link for that please
Thx in advance
@@3bd0o0l no I didn’t order a harness, just the bulbs. The new lights don’t need the harness, it’s a completely different bulb fitting.
@@3bd0o0lhey, were u able to find the adapter link since I’m having the same issue
@@italiano5813 I have stopped searching. I was searching for a friend but then I no longer looking
Hey bro I got the same headlights just installed them today but my high and low beams are not working at all
I know I had to switch mine out. It was a different size from the OEM ones. Did they plug right in?
@@Shawnessey hey I also have these headlight and I also have that problem, so the issue is that it’s not the right headlight or??
@@Yunasen if your OEM lights are the HID, these won’t work, UNLESS, you do some wiring. You might have to take it to a shop.
These are plug and play if your OEM are NOT the HID bulbs.
@@Shawnessey got it, I tried using the lights that came with the new headlights also I think my oem headlights were halogens.
@@Shawnessey you’re absolutely right I just check my old headlight and there HID’s 🤦🏻♂️, if I were to go to a shop what would I ask them?
I have the same one but the led strip goes dim when the car is on but bright when off
Damn for real? Mine doesn’t do that at all…. Do you have any warranty on them ? If so, I’d reach out to the seller and let them know.
No they were with the car when I bought it would u know how to replace the eyebrow blubs I tryed to watch a video but thares 2 screws instead of the twist off
Link?
I put the links in the description
Bro I bought these lights and try to connect them so I have to buy my own led because they comes with bulb and when I connect them nothing works and I’m sure it’s not my car is the problem
Yea unfortunately I had to do the same. If I remember right, they’re H9. I haven’t had a problem since I switched them out
@@Shawnessey I forget to put a question mark… i have a 2008 c300 and I bought these lights bro but nothing at all work so what did you do???
@@Shawnessey what bulb you switch them out to ?
@@matteozayd486 oh gotcha. Man to be honest, I plugged everything up and they worked with no issues. Make sure the boxes that come with it are plugged up too. And I went with some H9 LED’s. I’ll post the link here. Let me find it
Sorry for a late reply but this is the brand I have now. No issues at all. Amazon is actually having a $15 off promo I see.
