White Gauge Face Plates For C-class ?

Do you like your current gauge setup ? Can we change the gauge face plates to white and have it light up indiglow ? I would love to do this. Please tell me how this is possible, and if they make any special kits. Thanks

Only possible if you buy a TIMEX™

ok, seriously.....
Someone posted an LED/Dash light replacement a while ago...there were a ton of changes that he had to make.

But if you've got the time...and the dime...go for it

That's an AMG E class gauge set. Since MB installs that on there, you probably can get it.

I always wanted to know why MB has an analog clock in the gauge area.

Who wouldn't want S class gauges? haha, As for the E class gauges, I don't think they can be put into a C class. Its more for the regular version E and then upgraded to the AMG E class gauges.

Yeah, they are reminding you to take out the KEY that's still in the car. The old C class 01-04 "rainbow" dash did exactly the same thing. If you compared that dash to the S class/mayback dash, it has alot of the same things.

No big, I think that's Keyless Go. My dad's car does that all the time. Hell I'll be locking my cars doors and I'll open my dads car door to lock his car, and I'll get that warning!

I don't know what to tell ya... I don't see a key hole. I just remember seeing that message up on the 01-04 C class dash when the key was in, car off, and the driver's door opened.

Only if you needed them for the W202. I see them on eBay.de for the 202 all the time, and they look great.
