If you haven't already figured it out, I can make a DIY video on removing and replacing the DRLs if that would help. Here are some quick things to know.

The plastic is held in by 4 Torx T20 screws.
There is a connector that needs you to pull the grey tab away then unclip it.
The chrome and plastic can be easily separated from the LED unit

Just as Matt-erhorn said. It's VERY simple to do. Just get a T20 Torx screwdriver. Self-explanatory after you take it out.

2012 Mecedes C250 W204
I have a mechanic friend who will replace the Rt DRL; but is not familiar with M/B. Is there a diagram showing how to uninstall / install? Also, what is the part number for the Right Assembly for a 2012 C250 4-Door Sedan (W204 ?)? Thanks.
PS Dealer wants $ 550.00++ to fix this.

Stolen DRL

The DRLs and bezels on my 2013 C250 Sport were stolen. Apparently they are child's play to remove. The thieves cut the wires so I need to replace the wires with the connector-end that plugs into the LED. I have all the ordered replacement parts in hand but they didn't come with screws or wires.

I'm having a hard time sourcing the correct wire with the connection piece on the end. Will someone graciously help me with this as far as referencing the exact part and a retailer?

Also previously in the thread Matt-erhorn mentioned that the assembly is held on with T20 sized torx screws. Any link with the exact match would be eternally appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about your DRLs Todd, the plug and wires would likely be best to get a parts number from your dealer then check websites like parts.com or rock auto. As for the T20, it can be sourced at really any major hardware store, but below is the link to one of many options at Home Depot. Best of luck in your search.
