Many SL owners attempt to upgrade their headlamps with rebased Xenon retrofit kits. Such kits are illegal as they are not optically matched with the older halogen headlamp assemblies. Xenon bulbs require specific optics - using a rebased retrofit kit will result in uneven light distribution.

The 98-01 HID-spec headlamps are the absolute best headlamps available for the R129 SL chassis. The older 89-97 ECE H4 halogen headlamps are decent however, US-spec vehicles equipped with the 89-97 DOT HB1 halogen headlamps should seriously consider discarding their old lamps and upgrading. The US-spec headlamps are beyond terrible.

Features:

- Each headlamp utilizes 63 wide-angle white high-intensity LEDs for the parking lamp and are visible from a multitude of angles.
- Ultra low-profile LED rings are discrete and do not interfere with light optics.
- Unlike lower quality Cold-Cathode Fluorescent (CCFL) rings, LED technology does not require bulky voltage inverters and will continue to operate at temperatures under 50° F.
- High-beam bulbs are upgraded with Ultra-Premium high output bulbs.
- Unlike rebased Xenon "retrofit" headlamp conversions, the factory 98-01 xenon headlamps are optically matched.
- Lamps come with 1-year defect-free warranty.
