Fog Lights Stolen

Well I'm pissed because not only did they steal them they also cracked the bottom of my bumper doing it. And to top it all off I didnt notice until I hopped on the expressway and noticed some strange noise coming from the front of my car and when I looked at the tire, the tire had chewed through the front guard. Air apparently was flowing through the empty hole pushing the guard back onto the tire.







On the bright side, its an insentive to swap them out for the clear 05-07 ones.

Could you guys help me out with the part numbers for the Oval fog lights that come on the 05-07 Sport C-Class? I know formymercedes.com had them but I want to see if they're cheaper at the dealer. That and a new guard. Do you think they'll try to sell me the guards from both sides of the car?

That's pretty rough. I toyed with turning my fog light inlets into brake cooling ducts. Apparently, they let a lot of air blow in!

I ordered them online from two different sources and both fogs were wrong when i received them. I just went to a dealer and paid $147 which is about the same as what I paid on-line for the wrong lamps. You can easily install them yourself with a small hex wrench. Hope this helps!

Believe me down here in Miami people steal the dumbest of all things. And whoever stole went through some trouble to steal it since they even had to crack the bumper.

P.S. Nice ride. I like your setup.

Apparently MBenzNL are out of stock. I searched their whole inventory online, ebay and no luck. Guess formymercedes.com it is.

Can you believe my dealer wanted to charge me $389 per fog light? Ridiculous. I got the guard though for 40 bucks so I'll just get everything installed when I take it to the body shop.

Ok here is my main problem. The link you gave me shows the D.I.Y. on how to remove your headlight. As I scroll down I notice that the plug that connects to the housing itself is different from my car. I'm assuming rlee had Halogens.

eg:



And



Now these are my plugs:



Now I dont know if you can make out but I have 3 connectors. One which is not shown in the picture above but you can see the other one right under the main plug. When I connect the main plug onto the new headlights:



It does nothing.
