Hey guys....about to do this and wanna be sure I don't break anything. ...can I remove the sidemarker by pressing the white clip shown in pic? I know some threads about going through wheel area but this looks doable??

Can I remove from here and pop it out?

I don't want to break anything...I don't see screws or anything g else. Please don't mind dirty car....gonna get full spring detail soon.

Thank you fellas....

Usually they just twist out... Lefty loosey

ELITE_KOV

Hi...do you mean just push it outward from inside the engine bay?

Thank you. .

INS1GNIA

Yep just pops right out. Pretty hard to break them.

ELITE_KOV

Thank you guys. Gonna tackle this tonight, I had a a few last night and didn't get careless and break stuff...

Just and push it outward from the car? The new sidemarker just pops right back in?

Im probably making this seem harder than it is, but I dont want to cause any damage .............

You will have to push a little bit at first cause its going to be wedged in there since it hasn't been removed before. But yes, just pops in and out. After you the first one, the other one should take only a min max.

Start with the passenger side first. The driver side will be a little tricky only because there is not a lot of wiggle room compared to the passenger side.
Should pop in/out pretty easily.

Just did this tonight as well... I went through the engine bay and it took me about 15 mins ... the hardest part (for me) was getting the driver side bulb in and turning right to lock it in. VERY tight area to work.

Pics below ....... car looks much cleaner with these than the sore thumb ambers!

ELITE_KOV

Wow...that looks awesome, ArmoE55. I'm assuming those are the DEPO ones from fishcake?

Yes. Push the clip. My was really hard to do. I had to use a flat head screw driver to loosen it.

what they said. Even though I have done practically everything to a car I still get nervous when working on my new car but it was too easy.

INS1GNIA

Yeah the driver side one is a pain. Once you do it that first time though, it's super easy afterwards. Looks good though .

ArmoE55

Thanks man!

Where did you guys order your clear side markers? And did you swap to LEDs?

Depo ones on ebay is what everyone gets from seller fishcake321, they are clear and come with both orange and chrome orange bulbs in them.

Also - be aware that the on the C63 the sidemarkers did not change with the facelift, so you need 08-11 w204 side markers for the C63 all years, the non C63 changed in 12 to a different one and they won't fit.

When I check compatibility on eBay it says it won't fit my '11 C250. My C is Canadian and I think it has a weird bumper on it. Anyway they look to be the exact ones I need. Here's a photo of my car showing the sidemarker. What do you think?

roadkillrob

They certainly look the same, the C250 won't be listed as the US did not have the C250 in 2011, as far as I know there are only 2 side markers on all W204's the the other one is more horizontally long and shorter, looks very different.

Robc250

Thanks. Think I'm gunna order a set and see, looks to me like they'll fit fine.

Wish I was American tho. Free shipping and no exchange rate. You guys r lucky.

roadkillrob

I grew up in Canada until I was 25 or so, US citizen also now. Was good for you the last few years when it was at par, but Canadian dollar is quite low now, was good for my summer vacation there though!!

Robc250

Lucky you. Dual citizen? Best of both worlds

I'm looking at $60+ with exchange and shipping. $31 for you. 😕
