Change orange side markers on a white C350
My white C350 (P2, MM, Pano, AMG 18" Wheels) should arrive next week and I want to change out the orange side markers.
Two questions -
Clear or Smoke? I'm thinking smoke since there are plenty of darker details on the car.
Which vendor - I see two on ebay:

and

Thanks for the help.....

I say clear. smoke will look funny. not color matching, just like the orange one.. (just not as obvious)
I got my clear set from the 1st vendor. it's not bad. but i saw another one on Ebay for the same price but better quality.

out of the 2 options
I would go with clear
the smoke would look great on a black, silver, or Palladium silver, and even better on grey but not on a white car.
or how about this Patch up

white and whiter
clear on white OR mold the bumper and repaint. painted side marker on w204 looks like some kind of tumor. that's my opinion and i'm sticking to it.

Got a clear one. Trying to second guess and see if maybe I should have gotten a smoke one with my color. But I did not want to fail my inspection. Not sure about other states but VA state inspection is pretty annoying sometime.
I would go with clear since your car is white or just white out the marker if inspection is not an issue.

There are 3 vendors and the products look different. Derspeed and Who8888 - which of these did you get?

I say go with the 1st one. I have the 2nd one. Quality is ok, but no black rear housing (which you don't really need, you will use the OEM one). 3rd one is expensive. 1st one looks like it's made by the same manufacturer as the 3rd(same demo car used) and is also reasonably priced. I say go with the 1st one. But you can't go wrong with any of them. I am satisfied with mine.

The quality is great and he included two different set of bulbs with it. One is a silver out orange bulb.
