MBUSA wants even MORE stupid money for 'em.

Each unit for a W210 is north of $1100!

(And the lenses yellow badly, being plastic and all... And are non-replaceable!)

All of the ones for w210's have plastic lenses. (In the case of the xenon ones, 
plastic inner and outer...but it's the outer one that yellows.)

Those are too new for the Knackers I visit.  Most of the benz I see are private 
party sold to the scrap yard.  A late 90's car would go to insurance auction 
yards and be parted professionally.  Maybe in a few more years I will see the 
w210  and R129s and w140's in more than one offs every year or so.
