Bekkers clear corners

Hey,

I finally received my clears from bekkers. I'd have to say that I am disappointed by how they were right out of the box. That was pretty smashed up too. I was reading another post and I think it was Tp who said that he got bulbs too. I asked the guy at Bekkers and he said some would come, so i'll have to follow up on that.

Anyways, they do not say Bosch on the outside of the lens like my other oem ones do. On the back one says Automotive lighting. I haven't removed the others from my car to see if they have the same feel as these, but for over a hundred bucks you would think they would be really good quality.

I will post pics tomorrow of both these and the ones I currently have. Anyone have a similar situation or any thoughts on this. Thanks.

OEM ones say bosch......these are not OEM....it appears that there's been some fouwl play here......I would return them and demand BOSCH or a refund......!

brought mine from bekkers and they said Bosch on them. They also fit perfect on the car. Anyone wants to buy my In Pro smoke corners or my original stock ones from a 1998 C43?

For my car it was not perfect as the way I wanted it to be compare to the bosch set I got from Bekkers. I would say they
are about a one mm off. But not really noticeable unless you're
really picky like me. I'm selling mine for half price plus shipping. they were used only 3 weeks. they might fit better on a different
car since others stated that it fit well for them. but just not the way I wanted on my C43.

How much did you pay for them? Where did you get them from? Some sellers sell those as Bosch and Hella clear corners. They are good, but I cant find any info on Gecar. I havent seen them for any other car besides the c class.

IDK about his taillights. I haven't ordered from him yet, but I will soon. I just e-mailed some of the buyers and ask them how they fit and such. You could do the same with the tail light buyers.

I think you got some TYC clear corners. I heard they are excellent quality made in Holland, do you have pics? I may order some of them. Do you recommend them?
