I do not think that anyone here will be able to answer your question. What I do in these situations is to take loads of photo's from cars in the dealers and take measurements. Sadly the lights are one of the most expensive parts to buy, if the part numbers for the wings on both cars are the same, then they should fit.

They do fit .

Expensive but do look a lot better.

Yes, they fit without a problem.

I've just got the clear headlights fitted to my 2002 W203 Saloon. Pretty straight forward although on the W203 saloon (not sure about the coupe) you need to remove the front bumper to get the lights to fit.

Lights are relatively expensive but make a big difference. IIRC the faclift halogen headlights for the W203 Saloon are about £160 each.

I think the rear lights will be about £120 each side too. Have a look at http://www.mbenznl.com/products/2005coupeupd.shtml

If you're serious about doing this, you want to get in touch with the guy that runs this Steve Krabbenbourg , s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com you may save quite a bit compared to the dealer prices.

He's based in Holland (near the German border) and specialises in Merc upgrades.

Good luck...
