I just picked up my C350 from the body shop and drove it home. I parked it on the driveway and got out of the car. I looked around and noticed my fog lights are in wrong position. The first thing that came up in my mind, remembering the thread about fog light issues. I immediately checked mbworld.org and sure enough, it's the same thing "cross-eyed", I was like...oh damnit. I didn't want to take my car back to the body shop and have someone to correct the issues (didn't want to leave my car for another day at the body shop). I decided to fix them by myself. I jacked up the front part of my car (with two jacks) and removed both wheels (front only). I pulled the tire liner so I can access to the fog lights. The most challenging part is to deal with the washer wiper fluid bottle (on the driver's side). There is a bolt that is holding the bottle, I removed it and pulled the bottle away and I was able to unscrew four screws and removed the fog light. I swapped them and put everything back in reverse. It's not that difficult, but it requires lots of time (approx 2.5 hours). Now, my fog lights are in correct position. Whew!!
