Right I understand the bulb is like parking lights (194) but I am looking to replace the side marker cover too because it's orange and it wouldnt make sense to get a hyperwhite or blue bulb and covering it with an orange color ...I mean't (sorry if i wasn't clear) I need to a white/bluish cover.

You can get the clear corner reflector on Ebay. As for the bulb, none of the white bulbs actually looked that white at all, especially compared to my Bi-Xenons. As a result I went to the LED Hyperwhite wedge bulbs from myroadster.net and have been very pleased with them so far. The best part is that since they're LEDs, there is no filament to burn out (a common problem among these so-called Super white marker bulbs), and will last practically forever!

Searched ebay for a few months now and can't find the exact clear corner reflectors that I need for the w203. If you search "mercedes clear corner" a lot more results pop up but not for the 2002+ models of the C-Class (w203).

Would STRAUSS be able to order me this part?

If you are not looking for these then you must be looking for the "Euro" ones.

Please folks. If someone is asking about replacing the side marker lamp housing with the clear ones, let's not lobby for the euro bumper strips, instead. If you live in California, where pollution testing means more than adherance to DOT safety regulations, that's fine for you. But for the remaining 49 states, side marker lamps are a federal and state requirement. Going the Euro strips is NOT an option, legally, nor is it legal to paint over the existing lenses. So it's pointless to confuse the issue with options most people can't have (or don't want). Let's please stick to answering the question.

As for the subject, please do a search for "Clear side Markers" on this forum. The procedure is in the sticky at the top of this forum. There must be dozens of threads here already on this topic. I bought these from autodynamics.com. Here's the link to a thread on these, after two years, my guess is they have perfected the fit by now.

Does anyone know how to install these? I can easily take off the bottom cover under the bumper and do it but I was wondering if there was an easier way from maybe just popping the hood

Just use a small flat and and place it under the side marker and push it up. If you look at the ones your installing they have a bracket on either end, one end slides in to hold it in place and ther other end you use the flat head driver to push in and it'll pop out. You dont have to remove anything its like a 5 minute job.
