Unhappy Fog light installation

Trying to reassemble the front bumper by myself. I dont even know if i ordered the right part. I am trying to fit the light to the housing, but i cant figure out how to orient it. Ive attached a bunch of pictures. I also cant find a clear enough youtube tutorial with a parts that look like mine, I ordered mine from rockauto and all the youtube tutorials are from a brand called 'hella'.

Yes, post the part# for those fog lights. Post your vin #. Link to the listing you bought the fog lights from.

Is that a new bumper? if so post the part# of it.

I see you have a 2011 C300. The only bumpers im familiar with have the one round fog light on each side or the led strip on each side.

I think i figured it out. The upside down photos confused me.

Looks like your bumper is just like mine. its the sport bumper with round fog lights.

The fog light part #'s you need are:

- 2048202156
- 2048202256

I looked around for those fog lights and when I plugged in the info on the Carid website it mentions they are not for sport bumpers. I think the amg style bumper you have is sport?

I came across a listing for the fog light you have. Looks to be attached to the bezel that goes into the grill. Im not familiar with it.

Did a little more searching for those specific fog lights and FCP says they are not for AMG style bumper.

The ones that should fit are posted below.

Do you have all the additional parts for the bumper? theres metal clips that the fogs screw in to. Also one of the bottom pieces on the sides uses a rivet to attach.
