that's exactly right. The fogs (pre-facelift & facelift) are the same shape.
Difference is that the new ones are clear instead of frosted.

ebay w203 amg style projector foglights

Would someone be able to comment on the quality of these (ie OEM fit? lighting pattern? looks?). They seem to originate from Taiwan but there are a couple of vendors of what appears to be the same product from the US.

OEM AMG foglights for the w203 AMG bumper seem to be rare these days and I would really like to mount my bumper soon.

Thanks in advance.

I was looking at those same ones too. My right side fog light lense is cracked and I was thinking about getting these too, but i'm not sure of the quality.

I have had them about 11 months fitted to my C200K Sport Edition. Took off the front glass and sprayed all the chrome black. They are a good projector foglight really bright and clear. Heres a couple of pics....

Oh, I get what he meant, Carlos. He meant that it's "rare to find" OEM AMG foglights (probably used, is what he meant).

Well...at least that's what I think he meant, otherwise I'm totally with you... "Rare" and AMG bumper should never be used in the same sentance, except if you're talking about the CL203 coupe! Know anybody that has one of those?

I heard there's gonna be one of those at the Nov 15th MB SoCal Mega Meet !!
Additionally, a little bird told me that it will show up with a Euro version rear plate bezel.

I wouldn't miss it for the world !

Did that coupe with the Euro plate bezel need some help with my "custom 'Drex' style" install?

As far as light output..I'll have to take a few night pics. But the light output is way brighter than the stock fogs (both had HID's).

S204 220 CDI "AMG" Mopf
Which City- and foglight bulbs with 4300K Xenon?

Hi! I'm new here in forum and need to help. And SORRY my language, I'm Finnish.

I have installed HID xenons to my low beam's, color is 4300K. My car is "older" model -03. So there is no clear lenses in headlights..

Now my citylight seems to be yellow and them look stupid with those xenons. I have readed some posts but there is so many opinions that I am not sure what I'm going to order. Also some threads are so old that information maid be differend now.

There in Finlland i can't find good bulbs so i need to order them. I think also if i order bulbs to city light i also order foglight bulbs.

So what bulbs you can recommend and where I should order them. I also like good quality, becouse if bulbs works like 2 month..

I'm pleased if you give me help.

they aren't MADE for the AMG bumper..haha, the auction shows C32 for some reason, but I assume most of us know what our foglights look like. As far as the light output..oops, I forgot! Haha, I'll have to take some.
