Clear lenses in side indicators

Has anyone replaced the lenses in the side indicators with clear ones? Any idea of the cost. Thanks.

Actually, you've been misdirected. It's www.autodynamic.com (without the 's'). I can't find their C-Class listing, atm, so they might be out of stock, or the link to them is broken on their site. You might want to call them to inquire.

I actually bought the clear corners from www.Autodynamic.com. They look amazing. The amber corners didn't look very good on the brilliant silver. Besides, that was the only amber on the car.

It is true that the lenses are a tiny bit loose. I found a way to "tighten" the fit by wraping foamed tap around one of the back supports for the light. This easily made the lenses fit nice and tight. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I checked them constantly for the 1st two weeks they were on the car.

You can still locate the clear corners on the Autodynamic site if you do a search for "Mercedes clear", Product ID: MBZC01FBS

I've been very satisfied with them.
