C43 puddle lights (Affalterbach AMG)

After a lot of research for something as simple as a light, I purchased a puddle light set from eBay.

Vehicle: 2019 C43 Coupe
Seller: honmaru84
Installation: Easy. Replacement of existing puddle lights. Gently pull the existing lights out from underneath the door. I used an eyeglass kit flat tip screwdriver without any issues. Carefully disconnect. Connect the new lights and snap them into place just like the originals.

Very happy with the product, and significantly less expensive than buying them from MB.


This picture taken in the same light but focus changed to the crest

In garage, daytime, both garage doors open, overhead lights on

That looks really, sharp....I've been debating this mod, but seeing yours might just have swayed me to pull the trigger!

Those look just like the authentic ones... very nice! Unfortunately it appears the seller is no longer selling them... or at least he doesn't currently have them listed.

Thanks!

He'll get more in. Just keep checking. He's also pretty responsive over email. Like I said, I did a lot of research before going after the ones from this seller. Good luck!

Most of the others on ebay goes for about $20 but this one goes for about $53. Hopefully, the quality is better and the image is clearer/brighter ? If course, it is still cheaper than the OEM from Porsche.

I looked at mine again this morning and nowhere near as clear as the OP's. I think MB charges $250 for these - this is the ultimate no brainer if you want this

You should upgrade since you're so concerned with the lighting package.

They're standard on higher-end AMG models. And the "big glowing bumper star?" That's an option on C43s. Silly girl

go vent on reddit or something..this is a same option offered by MB dealer. Why so much hate? Were you touched by your uncle as a kid or something? If you dont like it, move on. Nobody wants your toxic attitude here.

Tried to offer you some good advice what others will think and snicker. Don’t need to rub more of AMG with some blaring light on the ground at night lol. Too late now. FYI, majority of people don’t have it. Enjoy it
