Brabus Xclusive Headlamps Set

Brabus Xclusive Headlamps Set - (RH traffic)

Does anyone have the part number?

Has anyone purchased these from Europe for our US based vehicles? Is it a simple plug and play?

I realize that tuners have modified US spec lights to mimic the Brabus light stlying, however I prefer the actual Brabus parts. Any info is appreciated...

What pricing did you receive? It seems these actual Brabus lights converted to USD is about $550-600, plus shipping.

i ordred mine from wellsmart .. they where 450 + shipping
and id avoid them if possible they have zero customer service and they dont verify the order .. it just shows up in the us mail about 3-4 weeks after your order. oh and they never return a email.

Hm. I got a confirmation email an hour after placing an order from WellSmart, and they returned an email I sent them asking about a particular product. Maybe your spam filters nabbed yours?

Finally took delivery of the car today and got a closer look at the headlights. I was considering to carbon fiber the chrome headlight trim instead, but there are several contours in the piece that would lead to weave distortion. It would look great in matte carbon though.
