About 2 years ago when I bought the car I replaced the US headlights with the repro Euro version. I'm really pleased, they're very well made and a good fit.
SLS had the best price at the time, they were about €620- each,  the price has since gone up slightly:

FWIW I recently replaced the standard bulbs with PHILIPS XTREME VISION bulbs, the difference in visibility when night driving is very significant!
Here's the thread with pics of the repro headlights:  http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=23313.0

Best,

Thank you for your feedback Mike.

I think I am going to follow this route myself, but I found them even less than Eur 620 a piece.
