BlackC230Coupe

i called MB and they said that they are a different part # for the coupe and sedan and they said that that assume they are a different shape. But then again that was MB and the guys at the parts dep. dont know a thing. I called evosport and they said to check with MB they were not sure. so i am not sure, i think by the look of them they might be the same.

i'm pretty sure that they are different parts. i don't think any of the exterior pieces are shared between the coupe and the sedan. it may be close, but i don't think it will be a clean fit (if it fits at all)

i was almost a 100% sure that they were the same on the coupe and sedan but thats just from me looking at pictures very closely i have to park next to a c240 or c320 sedan and compare it my self.

I'm not sure if they are the same, they LOOK, the same, but looks can be deceiving.

I'll find out for sure when they come in. I'll test fit them on a C320 Sedan.

A little off topic
but yesterday I couldn't stand the clear lens, and decided to just buy a can of black opal and clear coat paint, ripped off the amber lenses (not literally) and painted them black.

Turned out absolutely amazing! Matched the car color (black) and it looks very clean. I did about 1 coat, put it back on the car only to find that the amber still shines through a bit.

I don't care for that lens whatsoever, so I will coat it another 3-4 times (the can of paint cost me 7 bucks CDN) to make sure the amber doesn't seep through. I originally just took out the light bulbs but when I started my car I remembered the onboard computer, telling me that theres 2 faults. hehe

Painting over and over should help, and it's deifnately cheaper than evosports 80USD transparent painted lens (the lighting seeps through as well when on).

I want a completely covered look.

I hope to get pics up by later today.
If all goes bad.... well it's only a plastic amber lens. How expensive can that be? even for Benz... haha

You could probably use paint thinner and take the paint off in the end...no harm done at all!

I would still like to find the clear lenses and use those bulbs that mack430 said. They are silver when not illuminated but amber when illuninated. That would be awesome.

BlackC230Coupe

u mean on the stock amber lenses?

and when the hell do u think these clear lenses are comming in i cant wait much longer. do u have any idea when? and how much they will be at least a ball park price?
thanks

KJ-TypeR

I don't know man...it's not up to me at all.

When they come in, I'll buy a set for myself and let everyone know.

scroll down and you'll see the pic! clear bumper lenses for C Class 01 and up! $34.95! seems like they are in stock at the moment!

DtS

Hehe, I'm happy I won't need any of those :p. But I think they might look great on your cars. I think the stock amber ones disturbs the lines of the front of the car.

Does anyone have instructions for installing these lenses? What about the bulb size--has anyone done amber bulbs with clear lenses? Thanks in advance.

Lynn

The instructions are on page 350 of the Sportcoupe operator's manual.

TimmyC230boy

Are those for the sedan or the Coupe? If I remember correctly they differ a little. If they are for the coupoe I will order tomorrow.

blueC230K

Do they fit on the coupe???

Fuzzo

those who order it for the sedan and receive it..please let the others know how it fits etc....

Installation...

I looked on page 350 of the owner's manual. All I managed to do was cut my fingers. It says "slide toward the rear" but I couldn't get it to budge. Also, it doesn't really say the bulb type. All it says is 5w--unless I'm missing something. I'd order these--but like others I'm not sure if they'll fit the coupe.

blueC230K

sorry to hear that VideoGuy...but those 5 watts bulb are very common..u can get it anywhere...like track auto...if i remember it right, i think it's 1156....thats the model number.....anyways...tell us if it fits on the coupe when u get it..thx

blueC230K

Glad you found them, I remember couple months ago I saw somewhere someone was selling them for $120 with the amber bulbs!

Now I just need to have my coupe back. Been in the shop for a month.

calvinlgoh

Thank you so much for finding this...

neways... for those that want to know...

i live in irvine so im driving up later this week to get them...

Calvin, let us know how they fit your C320. I assume the price is for the pair, not just one. The other MBZ parts they sell specify by the pair, but the C-Class item does not specify by the pair.

Also, I'd like to know if they come with the amber bulb, or what their part number is for the amber bulb if you have to order them separately. Thanks for running the traps for the rest of us!!!!

greg230

i ordered them to today, gonna see if they fit in the coupe, if not, i will gladly resell them to one of you guys for 50% what i paid

didnt order the bulbs, cause what if the lenses dont dont fit??? why waste all that money
