I think they look great. My next plan is to open up the headlight housings and paint the interior grey or black, similar to how the c63 lamps are. better yet i might see if i can just order the c63 lights, since the dealer is a personal friend of my parents. What do you guys think?

Looks nice since you have a darker color car.

should I do that just by replacing the bulb with a silver coated amber?

in which case do you know the size and type of bulb i'd need?


thanks

just buy some silver or chrome high temp spray paint for like $3-4 and give it a single coat. Since these are turn signals, they're never constantly on so don't get that hot anyways. When flashing, they'll still flash orange.

where could one get the spray?

any auto parts store has them. Kragen, autozone, etc. I just picked up some flameproof header paint. Works well enough. I did it all ghetto style. Took some paper towels, wrapped it around the base of the bulb, and taped it up, then spread the bottom so it stands up, on some newspaper junk ads you get in the mail. Then just give all sides a quick spray. It doesn't have to be perfect, you're just trying to mask the orange so it doesn't reflect inside the housing. Let it dry for an hour or so, then plugged them back in. Easy as pie.

or get some clear LED's that flash amber?

Arjy

great advice. I'll give it ago when i paint the inner light housing

So I have a 2009 C300 and want to replace the amber side markers with the Euro lights. Can't get them off though. Do I have to go inside the wheel well to get at them and if so, how come I can't get the clips out

I have a 2009 c300 Sport with a broken right front side marker light that I need to replace. I have the replacement but I'm not sure how to get to the old one to replace it. Through the wheel well?

Thanks.

Yep. There are 3 or 4 plastic "pins" that you pull the center piece out of then you can pull out the body of the pin. Pull the liner away from the quarter panel into the wheel well enough to get your hand/hands in there. The light is held in place by a clip on top you need to release. Then pull the top out away from the fender and the bottom kind of pivots out also. Hope this helps.

Also, I see you've been a member for a while but this is your first post, so I don't know how much time you spend here. Go to the w204 forum main page and on the right hand side you will see "search this forum" Try typing in a few keywords there and see if there is DIY on this, pictures usually help me more than a narrative.
