you might wanna try a search. i remember seeing them for a coupe, but its basically the same instructions. try benzworld.org if you cant find them here. you have to remove the front bumper in order to install. not hard at all, just 6 screws and a bunch of clips.

do you mean the amber side markers? those you just pop right off. for the sedan you would want wedge a small flat blade screw driver between the lens and the impact strip, and the lens just pops right out. you take off the bulb from the back, replace with the clear lens and and put the lens back into the strip. they are very easy. actually written instructions will be located in your owners manual for your car. should be in the under replacing the light bulb for the side marker, it give written instructions as well as illustrations i believe.
im confused because you ask for the removal of the blinkers, and then you mention the foglights. but you want to put in a clear lens.

I think he means the blinkers on the side-mirror housings. Kinda like what Carlos is going to do with mine, replace the stock W203 ones with W211 ones.

No silly. He never said markers. You are the one that brought up the markers issue. Read his post again. He's asking about the side blinkers, the ones on the side mirrors.

edit: OK, never mind. You got it.
Funny.

Here are the foglight instructions:
From 'patronus' at mbworld.org:
On the driver's side, you must replace the bulb from under the car. There is a panel just below the light. There is a seam between that panel and the one under the engine. Remove the screw between these two panels and fish your hand up through the crack (no need to remove the panels). You should feel the back of the bulb and.... Good luck!
to add to this, the bulb base twists 90 degrees then you pull out the bulb from the socket. replace the bulb and screw back in. its not hard, ive changed my fog light bulbs 2x so far. finally happy with the color.
here is a thread i started with instructions (under my pen name
) for removing the mirror housing.
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/87118-mirror-removal.html
you must remove the housing in order to get to the indicators in the housing. two screws hold them in. indicators are plug and play for 2005 W203, W211 will require changing the plug from 4 prong to two.
hmm, maybe not though now, they got rid of the puddle light on the W211's i thought, so maybe it is just 2 prong plug. the 4 wires were: 2 to the puddle light bulb, and two to the LED's in the blinker.
not sure how many plugs they have now. mine had 4!

Replace the whole fog light assy
Has anyone updated to the clear version of fog light assemblies? I tried to MBSD to do it, and they said "they are meant for only the C32; it won't fit on a C320."

yes, they can be changed out. steve does it all the time. the clear fog light installation will require the removal of the front bumper which can also be found on buellwinkles website!

i bought my car at MBSD, some of those guys are but some are really good. contact Saprissa, he know's a part's guy at MBSD. also steve sells the foglights. youll probably get them cheaper from Steve.

CHATMANR,
at MBSD, here are the ONLY people who know what they're talking about... everyone else, worry !!
Sales: Martin Datnow & Robert Nadel
Parts: Duane & Chris
Service: Travis Cupples
Regarding the clear foglights, you really need to be specific with these guys when you ask them about stuff. They assume too much. For instance, the new 2005 clear foglights are meant for the new 2005 sedan body kit which happens to be identical to previous years C32 AMG kit, so they automatically say that it's only for a C32. In a way they are right, they won't fit the older style body kit. The 2004.5 and earlier clear foglights however will fit all regular C-class sedans just fine, and those are the ones you're after. They fit just fine, and are an easy install.

I was probably way too harsh, saying that you should "worry" about everyone else at MBSD. I haven't dealt with every single salesman there, so I'm sure there are more good guys/gals out on the floor.
But once again, I do HIGHLY recommend the names mentioned in the Parts & Service Departments.

Bi-Xenon question
My next mod after my COMAND is going to be bi-xenons for my coupe and I was wondering if you can set the computer to bi-xenon=present before you install the lights. Will this work? I am having Steve do some mods later this month and will get the lights soon after. Any input would be appreciated.
