Where did you buy the clear side view markers from???

I would really like to buy some, but am not an e-bay shopper at all.

Again looking great,
Aux came standard with Command. Got side markers off Ebay, try to search "W203 clear"

Thanks for looking...

I got mine off ebay, but I'm sure they sell them on the net too. I'll keep an eye out for you.

That's nice...

Now I finally know the exact location where the AUX jack is and how it's supposed to look. I can feel something in that area behind the fabric in my car. Hmm... Now to install it.

Thanks for the pics!

Looks awesome!

Same question as others: how did you run the wire from the AUX input to the iPod? Just across the seats or did/are you going to hardwire it?

On the clear corners, do you remember your dealer? Did both fit no problem? What bulbs are you using?

Thanks!

I am still trying to find a way to hide the wire from the aux to the ipod. I'll let you know if I come up with something.
Here is my auction : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT
Fits like a glove. I still have original bulb inside. Looking for amber bulb. Any recommendations?

hey guys....i posted the instructions on how to hide the wires on the first page.... i guess it could be different with the 2005's.... but if you have an '04 and earlier model..... these are good instructions i found from another member. actually come to think of it... i dont remember seeing the "loose change" holder and slide away compartment for the cup holders on the new 05's.... i think the new cup holder is actually just sitting in the open.... oh well....i guess let us all know if you find a way to hide the wires on the '05.


Originally Posted by JW230K

....here are his install instructions..... ipod wire install from aux input to cup holder

car look sweet bro. Just to let you know in my opinion i would have gotten the clear side markers that are clear and not diamond cut since you got the clear front lenses. Thats just my 2 cents, but congrats on the car i need to trade in my 01 for an 05 cause the 05's are pure sex.

I don't think you tried very hard. Or at all?

I just started a thread about this a day ago. Search for "sidemarker different".
