Front Corner lights

I think that's what they're called. Since I got my '05 C55 used, I'm not sure if I should keep them black (they came like that), or return them to OEM orange (should they be orange?).

Do they light up?

Leave it the way it is. Looks more clean. I paid $95 for the EvoSport painted reflectors.

Yes the orange bumper lights up, they are for US cars, some safety thing that all cars are supposed to have here in the US. the European models do not have it, making the car look cleaner. People here pay to get that covered up with painted bumper lights or the Euro Impact Strips. but just FYI you can get a fix it ticket without that light. If you ever get caught or if they ever even notices.

Ah, that's what I've been waiting to read. Thanks ddua, some how I thought they light up only during a turn (similar to GM cars).

Well, one of the black lens is broken so I'll need to replace it. Of course the dealer won't do it, so where did the previous owner purchase the black lens?

Previous owner either had them painted himself or puchased them from Evosport.

now that depends entirely on the state. I could not find any texas legislation requiring sidemarkers on regular passenger cars.
