They'll probably have smoked as well. I'll try to find out.

I am not a fan of painting lights. I'd like to just shave them. I saw a W204 bumper on ebay and almost bought it just to have it shaved like the European model, but I'm not sure it would be worth the expense.

What the hell do we have those for anyway? Are we that stupid that the gov't thinks we need extra lights?

Dude !

Let me know Let me know when I can get my hands on those.
Clear looks classier than tinted. I think a bit better than painted too.
I had painted on my Black c32 and then switched to clear. The clear just gave it a higher end sharper look. I will buy 2 sets, just encase I hit the garage door on the way out again.

I think they are clear and there seems to be two per side (I could be wrong). I intemd to get LEDs that are white and glow amber. I pot them in my Volvo when I added fender markers. They are bright and, in the case of my Vovlo, blink faster. I don't think the ones in the C blink. As soon as they are available, I'll post.

everything i've read about led's seems to be a red light. continually drawing power, staying illuminated, bulb-out error on dash...

I only know how they perform on my Vovlo. Aside from being brighter and faster, they act just like the regular bulbs.
