Have a look on Tirerack.com.
Last week I saw Micro HID Hella fog lamps for 700$.
I think it is a great fit for a C230. Y
our car should look very sharp with them.
It is illegal to sell HID conversion kits in the US. The Feds are really cracking down on sellers and the fines are $25,000 per bulb. So, you won't find many sellers anymore. You wouldn't get the clear lenses either. You can buy the bi-xenon headlight assemblies from at least three sources. Then you need to convince you dealer to set the version coding in the car to xenons present. Some dealers will and some won't. BTW, it is against DOT regulations for the dealer to install the bi-xenon headlights. So do it yourself or find an independent shop.
