Where to buy quality, smoked sidemakers? (14 C63)

I found these on ebay, not sure on quality. I'm more concerned with quality and the seal as they last car I owned, water came into the sidemarkers because the seal was crappy.

These are what I found....any other recommendations? I couldn't find any DEPO ones for the facelifted cars.

I have the Depo ones from fish cake and couldn't be happier. I believe the 08-11 ones fit the 14. I remember ordering the wrong ones before. I forget which ones are the right ones.

I've already checked to see if fishcake (I've purchased lots of items from him in the past) has the smoked ones and couldn't find them on ebay from him. There are DEPO ones for the pre-facelift, but I'm not sure if they fit as they are not listed as being "compatible".

I believe those will fit your 2014. I believe those are the exact ones I bought. Fit like a charm. I don't know why it only says 08-11, but they fit.

Same as others have stated. FL C63 bumper still uses the PFL sidemarkers unlike the non-AMG facelift cars so there is no compatibility issue

Agreed - they are mis-listed

buy them. then have your paint shop color match. much simpler. oh and just a little tip, which i learned 5 pairs in, to paint the inside back. otherwise, you will get a glowing orange box on the side of your car...........

For some reason, the "pumpkins" on my 996 didn't bug me. On the C63--drives me nuts.

The DEPO ones I listed above (according to others will fit the facelift cars apparently) come with the silver bulbs, so no issues there.



Did you end up buying that white 507 from New York?

If you want a super clean look, before wrapping them, shave/sand down the code/markings on them.

I just got my DEPO smoked side markers from eBay seller fishcake321 (got my facelift depo taillights from there too). I also had ordered some 3M black wrap and wrapped the side markers, came out real clean only took 20 mins to carefully get it on.. Not sure which ones I'm going to go with though...

For those who are trying to wrap it, those pieces can be popped off from behind the fender area, once you push the cover to the side a bit, if I can remember correctly.

May take slightly more time to do, but can possibly save you from accidentally scratching your paint with the blade or something.

Some cars actually have a screw holding the markers in place (others don't, and there seems to be no logic or pattern to it). If yours happens to have the screw in place, IIRC taking off the fender liners is the only way to get them out.

+100 on the DEPOs from fishcake. Yes, they do work for all of the W204 C63s as the FL C63 retained the pre-FL markers in the front wheel fenders as someone else already mentioned.
