It will be ok.

There. Somebody told you. Will it really be ok? I have no clue. I refuse to break something on my GLK so I can find out if it will be ok.

I drove the car around today, and bulb seems to be holding in place. It did not appear to have moved from its original position. Do you guys think it will hold without the one clip? Is it possible to have that clip replaced? (The clip I am referring to is the middle prong of the 3 prongs holding the parking light).

As I mentioned above...the middle tab is the sole prong holding this bulb plug in place...with that being said, make sure the bulb socket doesn't get pushed all the way in...otherwise, it will be hard to get out....worse case, the LED bulb loosens from the socket plug and gets trapped inside the housing.

It may seem like its holding well now, but for peace of mind, I'd duct tape the plug and wires to prevent it from falling too forward into the housing.

Hey, so have anyone tried to replace the Fog lights yet? They look like H7s like the low beam, and i crawled under and realized we may have to remove the entire splash guard to get to the Fogs... Ouch!

Replace fogs with what? Are you talking about the round shaped fogs?

My GLK got stock LED fogs...the rectangle shaped unit...so I don't need to change anything.
