I finally did some exploring and figured out how to remove the side markers. Now I face the decision of which aftermarket ones to get. At online stores they are about $100 and on Ebay they are about $50. Which color should I get?

Heres a pic for better judgement! Thanks a lot for your time!

Two choices left out.
With some you get orange bulb that is chrome coated so it is not noticeable with the clear or smoke, and throws amber light to stay legal .
I vote for Smoke w/ yellow/chrome bulb. My wife loves hers .

Ok that's a good point! I wish I could change it. My big concern is Smoke or Clear. Anyone know the Bulb Number? I would probably go with Chrome Bulbs, I think they are called stealth or something idk exactly

I would go for smoke it will not stand out as much on a black car, it will look nice and subtle.

smoke or painted black. i've had both -- currently rocking smoked with hyperwhite bulb.

Where did those who did this mod get their Parts? Just ebay or any online store? Do they differ much or at all?

Close up pix
this is my wifes car in pix. They are not quite that dark in reality.
I received 2 orange bulbs and 2 chrome/orange when I ordered. You may want to email and ask if they still do include both sets.

I see in your pics how it really looks. I think I will try to spray the insides black or less bright. Im not sure though. Looks better than stock, for sure.

Robbio204

I wonder if you can remove that reflector from its base...

Smoked with stealth bulbs. I originally had amber bulbs.

stock with spray tint smoked out.

get the smoked ebay one but make sure its not the euro smoked one, it deff doesn't blend in as nice.

Robbio204

Hey, all of them on ebay say European... what's wrong with them? Where can I get other ones?

hemptation88

Get the ones with the red background, they have more of a chromish smoke.. thats what I have and they look great

Its okay that it says "You are bidding on a set (Left and Right) of BRAND NEW European Crystal Style SMOKE Front Bumper Side Marker Lights for 2008-2009 MERCEDES BENZ W204 C-Class All Models including C300 / C350 and AMG C63...?"

Robbio204

Whats the diff? Im gonna get the ones recommended...I'd just like to know the diff...

hemptation88

The nicer ones just don't have euro in the title, thats what I meant lol.. The diff is that one has more of a plastic look and the other more chromish, also the pattern of the lenses are diff

Ron Jr

Those are the ones I have and they are nice you will have to get stealth bulbs as they come with amber ones.

german-anger

The smoked orange looks good too if you go dark enough ... especially on a black car. Or completely painted with bodycolor paint is awesome. The ultimate = filling it up and painting it body color (euro style)

german-anger

remember the stealth bulbs too!

Robbio204

Thanks guys, I am gonna buy the non euro smoke with stealths...where can I get stealths, and what number are they?

Ron Jr

194's and I got mine off E-bay.
