2012 W204 -- NEED SOME MODS

Hey guys i need some good relatively inexpensive that i can do to my new 2012 c300 4m... the clear side markers aren't available yet... and i am looking into slo2171's post on selling the quad tips and diffuser. I have already made an appt to get the tints done for $190 in NY.. and will install the quad tips and diffuser probably sometime within the next 2 weeks after they arrive...

The car is black/black

I'm looking for some interior lighting changes and a good easy to install
HID kit for the headlights (didnt get the lighting package) and (anzoptics has been out of stock for a while) so i need another alternative

I don't believe Mike @ AZNoptics will be carrying the HIDs too much anymore. If you read his thread, he is having some customs issues. As far as interior lighting changes you could try his LED's, I did them on my exterior (haven't done the interior yet) but they are affordable and look good. For your sidemarkers, I would go the tinting/blacking out route. I think that would look better on a black car than the clears, but that's just my opinion. Happy modding

for interior lighting...go with ijdmstore.com...they sell a interior lighting package and its almost exact fit into the dome light housing...and extremely bright as well. dont bother with license plate lights as they are different and no replacements have been made yet. i would also be careful with HID kits as of now since the only kits are for pre-facelift models. unless there is one and you find it then let us all
know. rims are always a good upgrade so look into that.

Paint the headlight housing and the crome fog ligh gives the car more of an aggressive look and matches the grill a lot better especially on a black car.
