I believe the other posts in this thread say they are for both the Sedan and Coupe. We know they fit the Coupe already. Has anyone put them on a Sedan, yet?

mix up

the reason why I ask again if it fits the sedans is because when I called them last week, the guy there said he was unaware of the coupe and sedan having different part numbers for the side bumper lens, I just want to know so I can get it backordered.. thanks for any help, didnt mean to bother.

Phattbam, I wasn't dissing your question. Sorry if it sounded that way. I think MB carries different part numbers for the Coupe and Sedan units, but I'm not convinced they are actually different sizes, shape, etc.

Unrelated question, Phattbam. I notice you have a '01 C320. Does the thumbwheel in your rear console vents serving the rear seats light up at night like the dash thumbwheels?

My Clear Side Markers Have Arrived!

I just received my set of clear side markers from an Ebay seller. The fitting is loose just like any of yours. It looks cheap and it's made in Taiwan contrary to the Hella brand stock ones.

I will use a blowdryer to heat up the U-shaped edge and hopefully expand it a little to give it a tighter fit.

I'll take pictures of them when it's done. I also changed my license plate bulbs to blue ones. Really cool!

JeT- How would you like to have the only side markers in OZ? Imagine the thrill of pulling out of a car park with your amber ambassador leading the way. Oooooo. Maybe the next time your at your dealer you could check the pricing on the bumper strips. No distronic in USA, we just tailgate in coordinated cruise control. Perhaps a trade? Do oil cans come in 6-packs?

There's currently about 2 on ebay at the moment.. the seller's name is f1sports. But under the search.. just type in W203.. and it'll show up as "01+ MERCEDES C CLASS W203 CLEAR BUMPER lights" It looks like $25 without shipping.

shipping and handling is $9. a tad high for a pair of clear corners (less than a pound with packaging). I sell/trade on ebay too and i hate ppl. who overcharge shipping (or try to make up in shipping/handling)

I find this irritating as well. These guys usually don't mention their shipping charges in the auction itself (which I often regard as a red flag for this sort of activity).

I know when I sell ink pens on ebay it costs me $3.50 to send 1-5.
Thats a new box, bubble wrap, and priority postage, with tracking. I dont make money selling.

I'm always cautious around people who say buyer pays actual shipping.

I agree and this guy (selling clear corners) prob aren't even going to use Priority. In this day and age of internet you can provide your customer the actual cost of shipping right at the spot (i can understand you guestimate the weight 4lb vs 5lb doesnt make a big deal).

Looks like you guys need a little help. Don't be put off by the negative comments in this thread... the lenses are fine and fit with a little fiddling... $29 plus shipping, as I recall...
