You see how Glyn's car doesn't have a side marker? That's what a Euro Impact Strip Is. Your won't have those hole things because Glyn has Distronics. Yours will look even. Just imagine the way it is now but without the plastic side marker. Just 1 piece.

IMO the Euro Impact Strips look more cleaner but you will have to buy them at 50 dollars then have them painted. Then take of your old Impact Strips and put these new ones. (more work and more money)
Here is a Euro impact strip thread.

Don't have too much money for the strips on the front, cause then you gotta paint them.
I'm saving up for a nice headunit.

Clear side marker lights
Anyone kno whow to remove the old amber ones to repalce with the clear euro style. I have a C300, 2009. The Right side was a hassle, but I managed, the left side is impossible to reach unless I pull off the wheel well cover (which are impossible to remove) Any tips?

European regulations do not require amber side markers. As a result, the European impact strip is different than the US market in that it does not have the amber side marker light. Many on the forum prefer this cleaner look. Some purchase these impact strips (see Steve, aka MBenzNL); others replace their amber light with a clear, black, or smoked light; still others paint their side marker their car's body color.

2003 C230 Kompressor
OPINION NEEDED
Hi guys,
I have a black 2002 C230 Kompressor. I was wondering if I should go with the DEPO smoke side marker/bumper lights?
or if I should go for the DEPO clear side marker/bumper lights?....
any suggestions?
cheers,
..Paul..

Not too much a fan of the clear on black. If you go with any housing, you should get stealth/concealment bulbs (silver coated ones) so amber or blue ones don't stick out like sore thumbs.
I think a lot of people here will suggest Euro impact strips.

Paul, I have a black C-Class as well. I've gone through the clear sidemarkers, smoked the stock orange ones myself and now have the euro impact strips. the strips are my favorite look:
