The clear side lenses (blinkers) are all over the place in the u.s. , uk, and au. They are also on Ebay. I have seen Those particular projection lights from uk and au makers and they run pretty high $$ compared to other similare projection headlights (ie glass not plastic lenses) I have seen on ebay. Take a look at car shine in au. http://www.carshine.com.au/index.htm...ccessories.htm

i really want matching ones to make it look right
do you think the lights will be ready out of the box meaning included bulbs and stuff to hook on?

RE Bulbs...Not sure. I haven't done them. I have also noticed there are a lot of adapter kits to make them HID which includes bulbs and ballast.
RE side/corners Many of the companies sell both. And there are quite a few available on Ebay right now. Calling or emailing to see if they match would be wise lol they sell both clear and crystal clear. you might want to see which of those you want. Also there is a special bulb that is made (chromium) that is silver when there is no power to it and only turns amber (which you need amber by law especially here in california ) when you actually activate the blinker. Sooooo when you aren't making a left hand turn or the lights aren't on you don't have this big blaring yellow bulb showing thru your clear .. keeping the look silver and clean
I have noticed that some of these projection headlights actually look like they have the side corner built in.. again.. you will have to contact the seller to be sure which ones you are looking at and what each has or doesn't have

Hi Vince,
I saw those for sale on ebay. I thought the black might look interesting depending on the car color. What color is your car and which w202 are you putting them on? Are you going to have to mod them much?

I spent three days taking off the grim the previous owner left on the paint. I spent like 3 hours on the front airmdam alone i had to resort to using a brillo pad on it.. turned out pretty nice though.. brillo pad to rubbing compound to polishing wax lol.. Still the front end has gone through a lot of sand storms and windy (not windey) roads. Tons of chips in the paint in front. That's why I am looking for a bra for the front end. The rest of the paint looks pretty good (except for clear coat damage on the roof about the size of a butt cheek lol , The prev owner parked the car under a sappy tree and did a lot of damage to the paint. It waxed out pretty nice compared to the damage that had been done by the sap but you cant tell unless you are pretty close to the car.. Some people just don't know how to take care of a car lol

The clear corners are everywhere
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=...lear%20corners
http://www.mercedesbenzwheel.com/mer...ights-329.html
But make sure you don't need them ie, check if the clear projection lights you are going to buy already have them build in or not...
