thanks
It is very easy to reach the front turn signals. I have big hands and I got them no problem. I used the 3157 Chrome Bulb Set - Amber.

Update: My eyelids have a bluish tint now But I still like them especially at night when only the fogs and eyelids are on and I'm just cruising not on the roadway.

Here are some updated pics.

Mine has keyless-go, I thought all car handles are chromed, no
btw, I guess your car has full options in US, why doesn't it have front parking sensors

Your car looks amazing! Very clean, wonderful drop. Love the grille! Don't you dare put a front license plate on that thing. Anywhoo, what eyelid LEDs did you use that they changed color? I think the C class community is still trying to find the right LED out there....

Grill is the stock one with Carbon Fiber film applied over the painted slats. I didn't trust myself so I went to my body shop and had them do it.

Front parking sensors not offered here in the US.

The eyelids I used were KaizenMotor 4-SMD T10 Wedge LEDs from eBay. (Post 20 in this thread )

Damn, just wanted to say you picked great options and your car looks amazing

What you did with the grill turned out really good. It looks like it could almost be factory. Plus the black on black, great color choice

nais!
i noticed u use kaizenmotor LEDs for your eye lid, i just happened to purchase from the same guy too, the LED seemed fine when i put it on, but I read somewhere saying that LEDs melt the socket at worst, most of them will blow up, so I switched to Polarg M4, is there any problem so far with those LEDs?

Not all LEDs do. So far they are great. If they do mess up my lights then I guess it will be time to purchase C63 headlights

Update: iJDMtoy license plate lights

Just did my license plate lights with iJDMtoy from MotoringMax on ebay (Search "White OBC License Plate Lights W204"). The color is Xenon White which has a blueish tint. I used these because they only have two diodes per bulb as opposed to 4 diodes per bulb like the eyelid ones. I didn't want my license plate lights any brighter than stock just a color change that give it a more presidential look.

I tried taking pics but it just doesn't come out right.

Try doing it with the flash off and with neutral or daytime white balance. That usually helps me in getting a better picture.

I'm not a fan of carbon fiber but have to say that using it on the front grill definately works.

Those OEM wheels look good too. I've been going round and round about replacement wheels and find that most of them draw too much attention to them. Those OEMs are just enough without overdoing it.

Great looking car.
