smoked lamps on

did some mods, minor on my MBs

what does the group think of the smoked side markers on my CLS55 and the clear markers on my E500 wagon?

Also what about those chrome pipes extension on the wagon?

Bonus points for those who can spot the mod on the front of the E500 wagon. Apologies for the Treo photo quality

the CLS was raised because they are paving my lane. Usually its lowered to about 0.25" above the top of the wheel

I got my clear markers on eBay

The CLS side markers are from www.smokedlamps.com. They are not just painted body color. they are supposedly painted a "smoked" grey. they still showed up as a fainted orange color when lighted up

I checked the web site and found that they only go to the'02 model year for Mercedes.

They did get back to me. I hate to be a pain but could you tell me how you removed the old ones and installed the new ones.

Thanks

its easy, just pop it out as per the instructions in your owners manual. However, when you are prying it out, you'd swear that you will break something, but you won't

Thanks again. Another good reason to read the manual.
