i still find it so strange they use a 2.5L V6 while in the rest of the world they use a 1.8L i4 with turbo and +- same performance as the C300

I think V6 sells better in the Americas over 4 cylinder. Still that bigger is better mentality. Even tho I would like a turbo! Or a turbo V6!

Btw Funk, you got lamin-x on your fogs? Do you like the yellow since you have leds?
If it was me I'd go full white.

Car electronics/computer related stuff is definitely a really interesting thing to explore. I just love the fact that I can do a few things (for example, get non-CANBUS LEDs working properly) without making any sort of hardware modifications; no loose/spliced wires, resistors, etc.

I do have lamin-X on my fogs, and yellow bulbs as well. They're very yellow .

To be fair the only reason I have them yellow right now is that I can't stand the off-white look of halogens in combination with my headlights which are entirely 5500k colour temperature. I decided to go with full yellow fog lights for the time being instead. I have plans to convert the fogs to 5500k LED as well, but I won't sacrifice functionality for looks. I could get some plug and play LED H7 bulbs, the type without the heatsink and ballast, but they're very dim in comparison to halogens. I want to use the same style (and brightness) LED bulbs that are in my high beams for them, but the housing/connector makes that impossible without some significant modification. I've been considering replacing the stock fog housings with an aftermarket projector type, but I'm having a hard time finding anything with the same size lens diameter

Well, I've gotta thank Adi-Benz for getting me seriously thinking about converting my fog lights to LED.





The deed is done. It took some work but it was worth it. I'll be posting about how I did it in a new thread later

Looks great! How did you find the part number for the side splitters? I can never find them on their website, and where did you get the rear bumper things?

Thanks!

Needs spoiler asap and LED taillights. Trunk is too bland; otherwise, looks great.

Mercedes-Benz C300 sport Package 2013
#08*********************************************** ******

MOD: Aluminum door lock pins.
Pros: Sits flush with the door when locked.
Cons: Price.
Notes: Although originally classified as cosmetic, I find this mod functional because my elbows no longer hit the extra long OEM lock knob when dealing with parking garage tolls.

Would like to know which door pins have you bought everything I found are the same length as the original
