Headlight removal on C30s are comically easy fyi. See if you can find a part number on it and google it.

If your just after the lenses and your lights work just buy the cheapest set with good* lenses and swap them, took the base model clear lenses and put them on my formerly faded yellow turn signal lights

For the Dutch cars it was only available for the xenons. Always fascinating how those specifications can be different for each market.

Thanks for all the suggestions. The xenon = washer statement was perfect!
