04 and 05 differences

The 05 models have different headlights, rear lights, mirror blinkers and fogs. I have seen pics and i cant see the differences in fogs and mirror blinkers. Any pics that clearly show the differences?

As far as I know the 05 has clear lenses. As in the blinkers and fogs, the only difference between 04 and 05 is they are clear.

Not sure if you're asking about C's in general or not, but the C230 and C320 sport sedans got the AMG body kit, which is the best upgrade, in my opinion. If I'm not mistaken, all '05's got the crystal clear mirror blinkers, clear headlights, and clear fogs too.

2003 Lights

I assume the 2004 lights are the same as the 2003 ones (i.e. non-clear) note that on the mirror blinkers, you can sort of see the amber bulbs:

Hey Rex, did you use factory paint or rattle-can for your grill... that looks nice. I have an 05 and thinking about doing the same.
