for the coupe you just pop the amber lenses off the rub strips. i know the sedan marker lights are different than the coupe. it should say in the owners manual though.
you should get the euro rub strips. they look alot better than having the amber lights, or clear marker lights. they are more expensive but for the look i think they are well worth it.

Question about these...
I was told by F1motorsports (the company that sells the clear bumper lenses on Ebay) that these will NOT fit a 2004.5 C230k Sedan?
Is this true and can somebody else confirm this? Or is the company just trying to avoid not getting negative feedback in case they don't fit?
If somebody else (with a 2004.5 230k sedan) has already installed these, could you please let me know if the fitament is okay.
Thanks in advance everybody.

Was wondering more about the Corner Bumper Lens than the light in my case. Does anybody know?
Of course, I've done a lot of searches and haven't found anybody with 2004.5 that put the clear bumper lens on successfully or even tried it for that matter.

LENS not bulb...
Okay, just for more clarification...
What I'm referring to in my quote is more for the clear LENS not the bulb. I am aware of the bulb number and what kind of bulb I need to put in, however,...
after sending emails to ALL the companies on EBAY about the Clear Bumper LENS, they indicated that this wouldn't fit...
What my question to any MBWORLD.ORG member is...
are there any members that own a 2004.5 + 230k sedan that have purchased and INSTALLED the LENS (NOT THE BULB) on their car?

ahh gotcha, sorry!
now im curious, what changed on the impact strip to cause this not to work for a 2004.5 but the previous years it does? visually the impact strips look the same to me on the 2002, 2003 and 2004 sedans. they look thicker on the 2005, but that may just be on the coupe that i noticed that.

what you could do is call the parts dept. at MB. ask about the part for the amber lense on a 2004 Sport Sedan. then see if its the same part number for the 2003 sport sedans or regular sedans. that way youll find out for sure if the part will work, although its aftermarket, if the clear lense was made to fit an 03 sedan or sport sedan, and the OEM lenses are the same, well you get the point.
