My screw was a torx screw (t15).

Hope that helps.

Hi folks! New member, 0 posts until now...

I have an '08 C63 (scored this baby about a month ago with only 17K kms!!!) and I JUST swapped out my sidemarkers for lightly smoked ones.

Verdict?? EASY as pie!!! As shown, just pop out a couple or all 3 of the plug/anchors on both sides of the wheel well so you have access from the outside to re-fit the inside housing back onto the sidemarker (actually, not necessary from the passenger side but go for it). I bought my lenses on eBay and they fit perfect.

If you need any additional assistance please do not hesitate to ask me! It was a very easy process and only took about 5-7 mins per side.

Clear Markers look so much better than the stock orange markers! Great Job

Should I post pics?

Helms

Definitely.

Will do tomorrow - it's 9pm on the West coast (I'm in Vancouver) so it's best to do some pics in the a.m. Stay tuned!!

I replaced this through the hood instead going through the wheel.

I purchased my smoked side markers from ebay member fishcake123 as well. The lenses came with two sets of bulbs, traditional clear and the silver coated with amber output.

I went through the hood, didn't remove anything. Since my hands wouldnt reach the marker light location I used a 12" metal ruler to depress the tab to remove the stock lenses. I then used the same ruler to hold the stock bracket firmly in place from behind while I popped in the new lens from the front. Took me about 10-mins as well.

Sorry to hijack but I searched and couldn't find any posts about the LED side markers that fishcake has. Has anyone installed these? He has a picture of a E class but I think we would put this more vertically vs horizontally from the E. If anyone has any pictures please let me know! Wondering if it is worth it to splurge...also I have stock headlamps/eyelids...probably won't go for leds since I find mine fine and even a vast improvement from my previous car. Would the leds look weird with halogens?

Also he has different listings for models 08-09 and 10, do the shapes differ from these years? TIA for any answers someone may give

Someone wrote a thread on the LED side markers. Not to my personal liking:

BUMP!

Just wanting to do this on my C350 and while I do follow vaguely about how to do it, can anyone quickly write up a step by step instruction for this? Please keep in mind I am a complete noob when it comes to DIY stuff, so would really appreciate details, even the one's you think would be obvious. I am going with the clear one's on ebay for my white C350. I see one for around $70 with the chromed out bulbs, that seems to be my only choice?

Thanks guys.

Does anyone has installed these on a 2010 Luxury c300 and if you have done it, can you please attached some pics? Thank you

Installed clear side markers on my C63. They look great, but the fit leaves a little to be desired. The OEMs fit flush against the bumper. The ones I bought from Fishcake on eBay do not fit as well. I have 1/16th inch gaps all around. I took them off and reinstalled with no closer fit. Open to suggestions on how to make them fit better.

I just installed mine today. Pretty easy to do. I went thru the wheel well. Seems mine had a screw (see photos) in the frame so I couldn't go thru the hood. Took longer to get the screw out than replacing the side markers! Mine came with chrome bulbs. My C300 Sport is a 2009 model.

So I ordered the clear side markers from eBay but they didn't come with the chrome bulbs. Anyone know where I can buy just the bulbs from??
