Stealth Bulbs

I put my stealth bulbs in the front turn signals. Awsome! I'm surprised Mercedes wouldn't have just used chrome colored bulbs to begin with.

Ruben, where did you get your clear side markers? Did it come with the bulb or did you buy them separately?

Do they fit snugly as the OEM side markers do, cause i've heard that this clear side markers sometimes don't fit and you have to make adjustments to it.

I really like the look of your clear side markers, i think it looks better than the other kind where you don't see thru the bulb. The fact that you see the bulb works well with a bi-xenon set-up.

I bought the silvervision bulbs once and the dimples didn't match up with the bulb holder. I tried jamming the bulb in there and still couldn't get it to work, and almost couldn't get it out!

Lenses were from E-bay, they fit fairly well, bulbs were seperate purchase...

I found the lenses and bulbs online and am placing an order tonight when I got home from work. How do I get the lens off and swap it?

Smile it pays to read the manual

I read the manula and figured out all that I need to know. I then searched the internet and found a good price on the bulds at AMbulbs.com. I got the lenses from procarparts.com. Now all I have to do is wait.

bulb question

I replaced the bulbs in the in my side markers with stealth bulbs from stealth auto. They look so nice inside clear covers. The bulb on the pasenger side isn't as bright as the one on the drivers side. anyone experience this? is this a manufacturing defect? too much silver coating?

Yeah the one on the left side isn't as bright as the right. I'll trade ya.
I think it is just the bulb manufacturer. It does look better than the amber bulbs plus I like the color of the stealth when on. It has a cool reddish orange. Have a good one

most likely MB didnt put them on stock becuase they are illegal with clear corners.
