Changed Orange side marker lights to Clear with stealth chrome bulbs (give off Orange light when on but look clear when off):

Congrats!
How did you find putting in the side markers?
I've been mulling over changing mine from orange to clear too.

Looks good overall. I like the interior color too.

Thank you! Your E550C looks amazing and thanks for setting the example! Next up for me is likely wheels/tires (possibly lowering springs) and Xytek or wrap.

Nice looking grill!

Do you still have your OEM grill? If so, I am interested in purchasing from you.

Unless you know of a different method of installation on the C, my experiences installing side markers on the C and E were totally different.

On the C, I was able to access the side markers from under the hood.
On the E, I had to pull out the fender liners and access the side markers from the wheel well. The liner is held in place with push pins. Pull the center of the push pin out with needle nose plyers, then remove the outer part of the push pin. Remove about four pins and you can separate the liner enough to access the side marker.

I've never installed on the C. I referenced "similar" as the the link does show having to remove fender liner. Maybe newer C class?

I can't wait to see what you end up doing.

Your new color "balloon white" is amazing.

I'm researching wheels / tires now and hope to finalize soon. Will definitely post each customization. Glad to have you as the example setter!
