2012 C300 parking lamp

Hi guys,

I'm trying to change out the orange parking bulb (MB dealership calls it "position bulb"), I'm looking for something to match the LEDs. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you talking about your sidemarkers? Or are you talking about the eyebrows? Those aren't orange though, but can be classified as parking/city lights. Otherwise there's the signals that are orange. That's the only thing that's really orange. Maybe take a pic and circle the section so we can see.

Can you let me know how to tint the side marker orange square thing and what bulb would go in there?

For the sidemarker, you can replace it with clear or smoked markers that are readily available on ebay. Or another option some people like to do is paint it so it's color matched to the body paint. Sidemarkers use a set of 194 wedge bulbs.

To gain access to the bulb (and to remove the sidemarker in general), you go through your wheel well. Simply turn the wheel so you have more room to work with, pop the pressure push clips holding the well liner, and peel it back so you can get access to the back of the sidemarker. I'd wrap some blue tape to the fender edge so you don't scratch it while peeling back the liner if I were you. Now, for removal of the sidemarker, it's been documented that some w204s has a screw that holds it down and some do not. The sidemarker is clipped in and you can try to press the clip release to release it, but if you find yourself not able to pull it out, you might have the screw and have to locate and unscrew it first.
