actually from my understanding, you get the dial and vent. the dial will actually serve a purpose by directing airflow up thru that vent. im buying both the vent and dial for this mod.

Doug,
I take it the vent & dial are COLOR CODED to match the interior, right ?

which parts are you ordering through Dr. Sunman, and which parts are you getting straight from dealer, Steve, others ?

im buying everything from Sunil. He had extra sensors and a switch row which started this whole process. since Sunil was ordering things frequently from Germany, i started ordering parts from him because I was able to piece things together easily and paypal him payment for shipments. At the time I didnt know Steve did PTS installs. For PTS I'm ordering everything from Sunil.

hmmmm.... that's SOOOO weird !!

my wife's 2004.5 C320 Sedan has that middle dial thingy with the blue dashes on it. I have to go check her Owner's Manual. I thought these things went away in 2003 ????

..........easy way is to simply shave off parking light and have the bulbs still connected but taped to inside portion of the engine bay. This will prevent bulb error messages. Here is a link of what finished product will look like. LINK

Question directed to those with Euro Impact Strips

Question for those w/ euro impact strips. Once installed what do you do with the light bulb that goes inside the side marker? Just curious?

I know if you take the bulb out you get error lamp message. Do you just let it hang inside the bumper?
