Hi All
Here to get your advice regards these lights would you fit them to your car.

The rear lights are just a straight swop but the headlights he says should be fitted by a professional, I presume the wiring has to be different to the standard.

These are on Ebay
No. 140046235283 and 230043234447



Thanks for your time guys

Those headlamps look interesting :)

I'm not sure how much of a professional you'd need to be to install the headlamps, I fitted my own HID headlamps and although it's a couple of hour's work it wasn't exactly difficult.

The fact that the headlamps apparently have glass lenses gives me some confidence in them, most these days have plastic lenses.
 
Hi Shude
I think the headlights on the C-Class look a bit dated and as you say they look quite nice,I don't know what you think of the rear lights they are listed as Lexus style but not too loud.

"There may be a slight chance of Import Duty and/or VAT taxes being charged"

I would say that there will be quite a strong chance of duty and Vat being charged...
 
Hi Nick
You are right there, the guy selling the rear lights says QUOTE: from USA with no import/vat tax since 2002.

The headlights the guy says
  • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All products will be shipped by one of the following carriers: Fedex/Global Express Mail[/FONT]
  • [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Most products (depend on the value of the product) will be shipped as a Gift and valued under £25 to lower the taxes/risk of taxes being incurred. Buyer is responsible for the chance that Import Duty and /or VAT taxes being charged; usually there will be no charges.[/FONT]
I have been caught before with that line.

Thanks to everybody for the replies,as you say NW_Merc not road legal over here so back to the drawing board.

That is what I like about this forum it is full of people that have done mods to there Mercs and there is a lot of experience on lots of other issues as well.

Once again thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.
