Question fog light replacement or upgrade...
I have a 2009 C350 sport w/ amg pkg. & unfortunately
both glass lenses are broken.
Wondering if anyone has done the LED's or another upgrade
other than the standard oem fogs, similar to pic attached.
If so please post a pic & a link to your source.
Thanks in advance

This and that.
That one thread makes it almost not worth it's while. My one glass broke and I am looking to replace, I would love to with LED's but almost seems impossible to do on your own, without going to a shop.

it is seriously not that bad! if you can install an HID kit and remove your bumper, youre basically at the same skill level required.

wish i can knock some sense into them. the LEDs look like it was poorly implemented and just put in to follow the current trend. Hyundais look like they gave the LEDs more thought in the design and layouts.

everyone here is entitled to their own opinions. why is it that you always have to knock on someone who doesn't share the same opinion as yours?
