ok, you gotta see if you have the screws holding the OEM lense to the rear black housing or not. If not, it's pretty easy to pop them out. If you do have the screws. you will need a small L shape Torx screw driver to take the screws out. very time consuming and hurts your fingers.
Putting them back in is tricky, too. You just gotta play with it a bit.
without screws.. about 20 minutes.
With screws... about 35 minutes.

see my attached pictures on the above posting. once you put your hands in the bumper. you can feel around the housing. the screw is right next to the TAP, if there is one.
it's the 1st time that's tricky. Now i am probably do it in 4 minutes and 59 seconds if the lense doesn't have screws!!!!!

I installed my side marker this weekend. I guess I was lucky in that I did not have any screw on my marker. Took about 30 mins but got a bunch of scratches on my hand from the stiff wheel well plastic. Now on to other mods

How expensive?
When you say "expensive ones on Ebay", do you mean the $40 ones? If not, would you give me more information if possible (ie. manufacturer, seller, $$ amount)? Thanks.
this has nothing to do with whether it is a c350 or c300...
I have the c350 and i didnt have to use a screwdriver for my clears...
they also fit snugly jusyt like OEM... without screws...make sure you get the more expensive ones on ebay... the cheaper ones didnt fit right for me and i had to return them...
i picked my c350 up in october 2007, maybe the newer builds have screws....
