Here they are:

LEDS (R/L)
221-820-17-56
221-820-18-56

BACKING PLASTIC MOUNT (R/L)
204-885-28-14
204-885-29-14

FRONT MESH GRILLS (R/L)
204-885-0053
204-885-0753

CHROME DECORATIVE MOLDING (R/L)
204-885-27-74
204-885-28-74


And a capacitor looks like this :
Note how that one says like 10v and 2000uf you want one that says 25v and between 50 and 150 uf

Hey Blue my order list looks a lot different than yours. Am I missing anything?

I obviously didn't have a part number when i did the order and just described them to the people at the part's desk that i needed the plugs that go into the back of the DRL LEDs for a C300, and this is what they look like.

Part Number
2115451328 (it's shown upside down in the pic on the one plug side)


When i run that on Parts.com it says "Trimmer Plug", MSRP $5.25, Core $0.00, Price $3.72
These are the plugs

if u get the right plugs, u just gotta cut off the fog connectors and wire it with the (new) plug that fits the DRL LED... If you go the fog replacement route instead of the side markers, then u have full control as if it was ur fogs. BUT.... if u put ur lights on automatic and u turn... the lights will flicker due to the dimming effect.
