Allan,

If it helps, my headlights are HID. Sure the lens assembly is glass. Again it is '99 C280.

If I buy Chevy, Ford, or Chrysler, I would be MORE pissed.

This whole car-buying experience nowadays is like -- go with the lesser evil. So I decided to kiss **** *** than buy a Detroit car.

 

Yes, the HID are glass and the bulb type lens is "composite" as I have seen the plastic lenses called.

I forgot about the HID options on the W202. My 99 C280 has the composite lens
