Are the side markers different in the 2012? Good question.

A member in the C63 section just replaced his 2012 MY side markers with the same ones off of ebay.
They are the same.

It took almost 6 months after the W204 was first introduced for them to show up. That is why I originally had tinted the OEM ones with film on Darth v1

"CONFIRMED: 2012 Side Markers
Took a chance because they looked the same...
And it worked out! Bolts right on. I tinted the lights with a light smoke vinyl sticker film.
I think it turned out nice!
So if anyone wants to change their 2012 side markers it's all the same! 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012"
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...e-markers.html

So is the C250 different from the C63?

C63 has the same side markers as the old car, the new 2012 C300 has horizontal lenses now. Seems silly, but it is true.

Yes, on the new '12 C300, they are totally different. I may go Black since the car is #040 Black.

The side markers are totally different on the 2012 models sedans & coupes with the exception of the AMG models. The AMG models still use the old reflectors because of the shape of the front fenders, much more flared. THAT IS THE ANSWER!

So the actual question should be.... "will the side markers from a 2011 W204 fit on a regular 2012 W204? If so... Were good!!

i havent tried it yet...my friend owns the E class but hes super obsessive over his car and wont let me touch it. if i could, i would take his out and try it on my '12 c class but as of now i dont think its going to be possible.

if n e one else can get their hands on a E class and try it out without trouble then it would help us out alot.

Well you would think!!! Tht would be the most logical conclusion from a large company like Benz. However everyone on eBay selling side markers for the
E coupe say that they will not fit the sedan so I don't know

Looking at pictures of the E coupe, they look pretty much similar to the E sedan...so I think it will be the most likely candidate for the facelifted C class.
And you can't trust anyone on eBay...they all say that it will fit or won't fit when in reality it's all wrong.
I've asked many sellers and they said FOR SURE that the led license plate lights will fit on '12 models and sure enough it didn't. They say anything to make the extra buck.

I couldn't find any either when I picked up my 2012 C350 4matic in early Dec, so I just had them vinyled over for the time being. Looks ok for now, and better than that hideous orange, especially on white! The car is dirty in the picture, so the clean/new white vinyl stands out a lot more in the shot.

Yes... As do I. However.... The markers on the e class coupe are different from the ones on the sedan... The question at hand is will the markers from the e coupe fit on the c coupe?
