Are you trying to keep away from dealership pricing? Your car was likely built at the East London plant here in South Africa and your dealer should be able to get one from here very quickly - Just make sure you get the part number right for your VIN because there were at least 2 forms of that lense in 2003 production - clear to match BiX headlights see my avatar or ribbed and a little more opaque for the standard headlight set-up.

Hi,
Dealer pricing does worry me, but once I find out the price for the ribbed one then I can compare it to some aftermarket crystal units...
Next would be to compare BiX upgrade?

There are no aftermarket sellers here - Try the US - their pricing will be hard to beat - they have the economies of scale.
If you do go for aftermarket units make sure they are made from the highest grade crystal polycarbonate available. I lived in Sydney for 4.5 years - your Aus sun is like ours & low grade poly will go opaque in a few years

One of my fog lenses broke on my car last week and i ordered up a set of clear lenses instead of replacement foggys. I think the clear ones look better and they were only 30 cdn dollars for each side

Sounds good. My driver's side foggy recently broke so i decided to replace both sides with clear lenses but i have yet to install them, no time. BUt im definetly going to put some sort of clear film over them to protect from rocks and such since my car is so low in the front its even worse.

Ebay Projector Fog lights
Will this really fit to a 2001 C320 sedan stock front bumper?
Fog light
I just want to make sure because it says...
MODEL: FIT 00-06 W203 C-CLASS C200 C200K C240 C320 MODELS
FITMENT: PERFECT FIT FOR OEM REPLACEMENT PARTS
Fog lights are same as OEM style, so they will be direct fit

I have a 2002 C240 with those fogs. They bolt up the exact same way as the stocks and the projectors themselves can be aimed up and down however you like, they are adjustable. I'll have to take some pics.

Hahaha, give me a chance. I was getting one of my demo cars ready for a show that's still not over yet. They have cutoffs integrated into the inner housing..so they don't glare all over.
This is the car I just finished (S55):
I'll get pics after the weekend.

Aftermarket fog lamps for coupe facelift bumper?
Hi guys!
I'm looking for aftermarket projector fog lamps for my 07 coupe. Will the oval fogs for AMG front fit my bumper? Or is there any other alternatives?
Thanks!

OK, i have a problem and was wondering if anyone could help?
I replaced my foggies and it came with LEDs and i understand that LEDs require resistors when lighting up something outside of the car, otherwise it would flicker and not light up. My question is, how do i know what type of resistor to get in the first place? anyone care to shed some light?
thanks in advance!

The AMGs will not fit your car. The facelifted bumper on the coupe uses the same fogs as the pre-facelifted ones, well the same dimensions and fitment anyways, they are of course clear instead of frosty. If you want projector fogs, just look on ebay, there are quite a few to choose from. This is unless you have an AMG kit on your coupe which a few of the members here have.

Oh, I didn't know that! In that case I have a pretty good selection to choose from I've always thought they look more oval than the pre-facelifted fogs.

I could be wrong, but on the coupe, the fogs are actually quite rectangular, its the black plastic fake mesh that goes in front of the fogs make them appear round.
