The DVD "thingy" is called VIM just do a search in W204 forum.
The sidemarkers have several aftermaket options.
- Clear
- Smoked
- Painted (Evosport)

Try midcityengineering for the VIM
Side markers...if you want painted go with evo sport, smoked/clear get it on ebay. I got a clear one for my Palladium and then I got it smoked.

Mid City Engineering VIM works great for me. It is a PITA to put back together, but to the lack of space, and I forgot to plug in the heated seats wire so I had to take it out again

I think smoke lenses look best on White C63. They match the headlight lenses.
