HELP!!!! Anyone know where I can get the dome light cover for the front? I accidentally cracked it. A link would be helpful.

Thanks

Not on your new car Were you trying to change the bulb? Try the link below. I'm not sure which part exactly you need but there's a diagram.

at lesat you got to change the led lol just kidding

i know what you meant though. Those covers were so hard to pry out. Try junk yard instead of paying MSRP at the dealership

This piece... ugh I think its gonna cost $450+

Whoa that doesn't sound right. I looked in the link I gave you but I can't find that part in the diagram. Where did you get that price from?

Project C

$450 That's a lot :p

Henry320

hmm I thought I might have to buy the whole unit (#1)????


Now Im not sure..

Henry320

Actually just called my parts department, only $20.


Thanks so much for your help totally appreciated.

aznmode

NP. That sounds more like it haha. Are you trying to figure out how to remove these covers on your own? I upgraded all mines to LEDs as well but I followed the video tutorial below. I'm not sure FL or Pre FL are all the same. But I guess you would be able tell that once you go through the video. BTW I used a plastic ruler. But anything similar would do.

Henry320

HAHAHA I wished you showed me this earlier. Thanks though.

Project C

credit card can do the tricks too

HAHA sorry. I know how exciting it is to get a new car and you want things done asap. But these cars are built a little stronger so things will be harder to take apart. But in some cases really easy. Worse part is things are more expensive! So it's always good to ask before you do anything even though it might look easy. I actually mostly google it lol. Considering the C class has been out since 2008, if you thought of doing something to it, most likely someone else have thought of it too, and in most cases someone has already done it. So take it easy and don't rush. Google or ask around here. There's a lot of knowledgeable members here who are happy to help.

Here's a good start.

this is the first thing i did on the first night i brought my car home too!! It was such a b!tch to pull off those covers

Pewterslk320

Can you please post the part #? Thanks.

Henry320

Turns out I do need the entire unit, it's about $400 plus.. Ugh

aznmode

That crazy they don't sell it separately. Maybe a junk yard? Did you break something else besides the cover?

Henry320

These fit our cars? It's not listed as compatible but should be the same right?

aznmode

I'm not sure if that also replaces the cover though. Maybe check with the seller. But they are showing a FL c class interior and does say w204 so it's for our cars.

Henry320

What about this piece? It's pricey but not $400, thanks for the help man

It looks like mine. Can u take a pic of yours. I don't think it changed on the FL. Here's mine pre FL

aznmode

BTW where did you get your t10 LEDs? I got mine from eBay really cheap for a set of 20 for $34. Still going strong a year later. I replaced everything but the license plate and footwell. I did have to buy the rear dome separate. It was a 42 mm festoon type.

Henry320

Yes I got all the t10s and festoon. I replaced all of them already. I will post a photo of the dome light shortly

Henry320

This is what mine looks like, I think its the same.

dam that sux. LOL i was actually looking at that ebay link before for the whole dome light unit. a month ago i have broken my dome light unit inside with some plastic pieces. i hate having that feeling that something is broken so i went all around looking for it and yep they dont sell that separate its the whole unit. the ebay link for the dome unit its the same one i purchase but new at my dealer. which i paid only 220$ they also change to a new part# for that unit buts its the same. not sure for ur 2013 mine is 2009.
