Im interested to know if you can disable the sidemarkers too.
Right now i have the bulbs just hanging inside the bumper. My driver side burnt out like 3 times in a month, but then i moved it to a different area and its ok now..

I remember Frank mentioned that you can also wrap it in tin foil.
Good Luck,
Roland the stuff is gonna come soon. I'll see what I can do

Please note that the last four digits of the part numbers (9197) represent the paint color of my car (obsidian black) and you must have your dealer substitute your four-digit exterior paint code if your car is not black. Each side costs $71 and they install quite easily. Just pry out the side closest to the grill and the other end simply slides out sideways.
Seems like a less expensive option than the Lorinser from evosport.

Boston, unfortunately, kind of.
But man, I would love to be out in Cali - how's the roads out there? Over here they suck so bad koda sam na selu.
Might as well trade the Benzo in for a tractor trailer..

So how easy/hard are these to install? I'll be ordering a pair next week, would like to know what I gotta do ahead of time.
I got the matching MB spray paint to match the color of my ride so that's step 1 out of the way.
Any input appreciated.

Found the answers to all my questions in this thread, duh. Kind of both upset and happy at the same time that I don't have the parktronic feature.
But then again that would set me back plus at least another $100 - so more happy than upset.
So to my understanding - this is the best way to get a pair of these on your ride:
1.) PM Gary@Suvneer and get a pair for $50 - do they come with the chrome linings?
2.) Take the amber marker out then remove the plastic strips.
3.) Pop the new euroimpact strips in and that's a wrap.
Am I missing anything here folks?

I think you could probably do it with some zip ties and some adhesive zip tie mounts.

I think that's step 4, and Step 3 is covering the old lights with aluminum foil and find some way to keep them from just dangling inside the fenders.

But besides that it's pretty much a piece of cake if you don't have the parktronic feature.
@ao125 - did you already order a set by any chance?

Yes, absolutely, I did forget to include that part, gotta remember cover those bulbs in aluminum foil and find a way to mount them somewhere.

I'll post up if I end up getting a set before you do, and if you can do the same vice versa then plus1.
Peas.
