Has anyone had any success finding a set of LED's that could be mounted on a DTM bumper in similiar fashion to what MB has done with most of it's new cars? I know it was being considered a while ago but that was when most MB had typical round fog lamps. If the new LED lamps from a C300 fit into the space is there a connector that would allow them to connect to the existing fog lamp wiring?

Here is a website I was looking at for good quality LED daytime running lights.

I think this kit of LED's is the best on this website

But I want to make sure that they will fit perfect.The problem is I'm not in the state to check what is the size.

Do you have the bumper ?

I agree, they are 8 inches wide and the bumper will be here either this week or next. I will measure to see if they will fit then.

I like that bumper and those LEDs would make it look really nice, especially w/o fogs now.
I wonder how it would look in the cf part of the bumper really far down?
What were you thinking--seems pretty reasonable, I'd make a mock up version and test in the bumper ornjust buy 'em for $150 and try 'em out.

Where didnyou get the bumper and is that cf real or a wrap?
How's the fit?

Faris63

If it's 8 inches wide I think we should look for 7.50 or 7 inches to fit perfect.

I'm going to order the LED's as soon as I get to the states.

I got my bumper from Revozport it's company in Hong Kong.
The fit all I can tell is perfect.

My bumper is on it's way and it is from Revosport. The bottom lip is actually made of carbon fiber as are the side vents on the one that I ordered. I am looking to place the LEDs flush on the upper edge of the two smaller openings.
Should look good with the carbon fiber louvered hood that will be here this week also.

That's going to look sweet
I was thinking the vents in cf would love great a la BS.
Can't wait to see the finished product--is the cf the same size and pattern as OEM cf?

Once my bumper gets enough chips I may go this route, it looks very aggressive, me likey

mthis

does anyone have this on a blk car?

This CLK63 Black Series should give you an idea how your car will look like.

Hhughes--if you can take a pic of the bumper before painting that would be cool--closeup of the CF vents and pattern would be great.
It's gonna be sick, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Are changing the honeycomb-ish in the grill to match the mesh in the bumper?
Is that doable, I think it may look weird with the OEM honeycomb.

what did you do faresuae?

callmiro

Actually...will be closer to the 2012 facelift....but yours will look more aggressive

Faris63

As I said before, once I get to the states I will order 7.50 inches LED's and give it a test

Good that you mentioned the mesh grill I really didn't like the one that came with bumper it get chips really quick and you can see everything behind the mesh (i.e wires, coolers ), I'm going to change it soon if I find SL65 Black Series mesh grill because it will look awesome.

Faris63

You'll see it soon

I wonder if the new bumper would fit our model. That would be an easy way to have everything look OEM.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.
