in person is not noticeable because your car is white and the border blends in

I posted photos to help everyone. Unlike some who lowered their cars and wouldn't post pics.
I took the leap and bought them. I guess you'll have to take a chance. You should get smoke lenses anyway.

I was trolling around EBay and to my surprise I found the clear bumper markers! 1 set w/ silver bulbs. Shipping is $12 The whole package is most defiantly Derspeeds. The pictures were Derspeeds too. Im real psyched that I got them I bought them immediatly. Then I started to wonder, did this guy just rip the pics off of our board? Wouldn't Derspeed have told us if his seller was ready to distribute these? Wouldn't there be more available on EBay? Who knows, either way, I figured I'd take a shot. Hopefully this is Derspeed's guy and he is legit. here is the link to the auction I purchased. Derspeed, if you can confirm this is your guy I'd appreciate it. If it isn't I'd tell him to stop using your pictures. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120257792819

Hey, that is good news but look at this message he sent me today?
"The last set was sold to the winner, you can email him 5 days later to see if he received it or not. It's our last set for the moment. We won't have more until the end of May."
- fishcake321
Okay? I AM the winner. I paid immediately. I hope he sent them to me and not someone else. Can you look into this for me? I'm bugging out. I'll PM you my address if necessary but I don't know what else to think? Why would he send me a message like that? Please Help!

I messaged he guy selling the clear lens on ebay asking when they would be available. He responded.
Looks like we're all in for the wait. I really hope the smoked version comes out at the same time.
For now i'll just count the days
It won't be available until early June

Latest info!
Here is the email I got from the clear marker seller. I hope this answers everyone's questions.
Hi Bryan,
Thanks. We should have BOTH the CLEAR and the SMOKE version coming out early June.
If you want to organize a Group Buy, I guess we will do that. But I can't give you a set date yet.
Btw, from the photo, you have the AMG C63, right?
The LED Tail for the W204 is under development now, but it's gonna take months.
And if someone can supply or let us borrow the gauge cluster, we can make the white or silver gauge face like the ones we have for the BMWs (on eBay).
We do have some Aluminum Pedals for Mercedes.
Regards,
Lee

Hi everybody. great forum, lots of good info I founded here.
I was looking for clear lense solution for new C Class and this is how I found this topic.
I have a few questions to Derspeed regarding post # 1.
You were saying that You kept original housing and just swaped lenses.
1. Did You have to glue them or your new lenses had some kind of snap in option?
2. Did Your aftermarket lenses had the same little curve at the edge as the factory ones or not?
Reason I am asking this, I want to make a decission either to wait till your source will come up with something, or I could do same thing as I did for CTS guys, I made lenses using laser mashine and all they had to do is just swap lenses.
PS:
if there is an interest I can have them done in a week.
Not to violate this forum rules I will pay vendors fees and then set up a group buy. as far as price, a lot less then the ones were sold on ebay.
pictures below are to give you idea how I did them for the CTS and options available

The housing and lenses are one piece, glued by the vendor. There is an additional housing inside the fender that holds them in via clips. I left the stock ones in because they were exactly the same. They curve like the OES. They are identical, only clear.

so all you had to do, unglue his and reglued just lenses? if you saying stock ones were exatcly the same, then most likely your guy just rebadged stock ones. I ordered stock ones anyway to duplicate the shape of the lense.

No. I didn't unglue anything. The housing I left was just a piece behind the fender that holds the entire unit in place. These came assembled as if from MB.
You should probably start your own thread about your product.

smoked versions will probably look better on palladium silver!
I'll make my decision as soon as someone post a pic of their p.silver with the mods.

I really like Derspeed's clears
, but that could be because it's the only option as of yet.

I don't think Derspeed is mad at you. But you really should start your own thread (after you pay sponsorship fees, I s'pose) so that everyone on the board can take a look. More options are always better than one.

However, I am very familiar with Board rules, and believe me. If I have seen "Suporting Vendor" sign under his Avatar, then I would put my questions to him differently. and I also think,that we should drop this subject and focus on clear side markers.
So, when are they going to be available,and how to purchase them?
