Yes, you can. I just did, however it wasn't easy

Before:


After - I added the chrome headlamp rings as well, which helps to fill up the unsightly gap in between the hood/fender/bumper and the headlamp

LOL, not quite as difficult as an Audio 10 installation, I would say, however it was the legwork of figuring out why the LED bulbs wouldn't function properly in the stock lamp socket that took a while (and some technical assistance through unofficial official sources).

Thanks! Yes I agree, the rings do add a classy touch to the car and they are only $99 at formymercedes.com. Much nicer than the unsightly gap that was in the first picture.

The rings do look great! But I think the C looks just as incredible without them.
It's all about the color!

I think that the gap is less obvious on your car since it is black. However, those orange bulbs break the "clean" look, which is why I wanted to get rid of them. Same reason that I wanted to get rid of the yellowish hue of the incandescent city lamps. The pic below was shot before I swapped to the LED turn signals from formymercedes.com, of course.

Hyperwhite LED wedge bulbs:

I might consider changing out the amber turn signals on my C320. I haven't really thought about any mods at this time, being that I just picked up the
car just last Monday. Since then I've just driven it once. I'll have to check out the site that was mentioned. Otherwise, amazing pics Drew_ML! I'll have to get a
little more creative with mine.!
