No.........unless u buy a whole new front bumper with the headlights.

The 300c headlights are rounded and the Limited's are rectangular. Sorry

Just buy an HID kit....about $200 from Stealthauto.

Plug and play

As FireMedic said. You will be better with a HID kit.

without projector 300c lamps you will be illegal in most states. the lens you have was not designed for HID bulbs and will blind oncoming drivers. I continue to see this in rice burners and now a crap ;load of Escalade wannabes. Please think of the other drivers and get the Projector lamps if you want HID...

Would these work for a non-c? I got a 300 Touring with no special addons.

Technically, yes - without the HID system installed at the factory as a OEM piece they will be illegal. HOWEVER, you will not necessarily "blind" other drivers. The rice rockets you refer to have obviously not spent the time to re-align the lights. HID's shine much different than Halogens, and even if your headlights were straight on prior to the install, just spend the time and do it right. Take a look at some of the Acura's out there with HID's. They DO NOT have projectors - but come from the factory with "standard" headlights.

I would highly recommend Stealth Auto - not only because I know them over there on a 1st name basis, but because their product is superior.
