The euro impact strip replaces the one with the turn signal light. Be careful because you just can't disconnect the light as you'll get bulb out warnings. You may have to tie wrap it out of the way.

If you live closer to the San Fernado Valley of So Cal, then you should try F1 Motorsports in No Hollywood-that is where I got mine so I can tell you they wont take long in getting the bumper strips. If you live closer to Huntington Beach-Evosport does sell them(according to their web site). Either way definately get them, they give the car a much "cleaner" look.

Installation?
is it really easy to install them yourself? Does anyone have some instructions on how to do it? Any help would be great. Are there any places in San Diego where i could get them?

I agree, best way is to get the euro impact strips, it gives your car an extremely clean look. Im getting them aswell for my CLK. Curious, do the euro impact strips come in one piece which wrap about the front of the bumper? Im afraid that if i get them that i would have to drill holes for a license plate bracket. Can anyone help with this? This is for a W208 CLK430. Thanks!

Don't get pre-painted lenses! With respect to people that have them, pre painted lenses honestly look really tacky. For a few bucks more you could have the "real" look. As for install the little "strip" around the orange reflector just pops out, and then you pop the new strip in. You must make sure you leave the bulb attached though as your computer will think that the light has gone out if it is removed. I don't know if it is that simple for the W208, but it should be....

Their website isn't that great, but I'm sure that it'll be up to par pretty soon. Hopefully!

Euro-Strip and Bulb
I recently just got these and they are a great addition to the face of the car (more noticable the sides) but now my bulb warning is going off. Its really annoying. I was just wondering, I kept the bulb in and tucked the wiring inside. What do I have to do now? Isn't there a way that I could do have it deactivated or something. Do I actually have to replace the bulb?
