Whats up hyundai peeps. Im new here. I was looking at the 98-04 SLK and noticed that the headlight look similar to the 99-01 SONATA but wasnt sure. Can anyone confirm beacause i found some aftermarket headlights on ebay and was wondering is it worth it?

Why would you think Mercedes installed Hyundai headlights on their SLK? Just because the are shaped similar doesn''''t mean they are the same.

1- the slk came first as you can see because it came in 98
2- i ask because i know then there was the whole daimlerchrysler connection consisting of chrysler, mercedes, mitsubishi, and hyundai
3 i was thinking hyundai could have taken the slk light and altered the inside a bit for use in the sonata but still keep the outer shape the same.
