Default Crossfire aftermarket Headlights anyone?

No , sadly they are not yet available but..... looky here

R170 1997-2000 97-00 SLK LED Angel-Eye Projector Headlight Black Mercedes Benz
scroll down for the options !

I found these headlights for the MB r170 the other day so i messaged the sellar re making some for the Crossfire .
They said they would contact the factory .
If we ALL contacted this sellar/factory and let them know the level of interest we could have a chance here.

Maybe even offer them a group buy ...
It is up to us to make these headlights happen, lets do it

There is probably no interest because most believe this will never happen, demand is too low for the cost of tooling etc.
Personally I would LOVE to see this happen, I'd buy a pair if they are fairly priced.

There was a company about ten years ago (CTD, Chrometec?) that came out with a horrid example. As best as I can recall, they were nearly half the value of the car, and installation of them would reduce your curb appeal by the same ratio.

I just spent 15 minutes trying to find them on Google, and they've apparently been purged from the internet. This is not a bad thing, as you'd need bleach for your eyes.

Frankly speaking I'd be happy with a OE replacement from DEPO.

The lights made by this factory in Taiwan look to be great quality and look at all the options !.
They make headlights for cars with lower production numbers than our crossfire .
send em a request ! we could convince them if there were enough requests .

Yeah but we do need an alternative to hard to find used and expensive, or new and way overpriced oem headights for our crossfires , we really need to message this factory in Taiwan now to let them know !
scroll down and check out all the options they do for the R170 headlights, they could make headlights for our cars too easily, if We show interest .
Message them Now !
