Funny you should post this. There is a thread on the reg C class forum and his install is very clean. My issue is where to install them so that it looks OEM as much as possible.
I am very interested in buying a pair as this is very inexpensive and looks OEM.

Hi All

I totally recommend! i did install them on my C63.
The best thing about them that they are not like any LED, they come with a device "box looks like an HID converter" similar to the HID. the bluish color is so much brighter than a normal LED

2011 does not get LEDs and 2012 will be a completely different front end (headlights, grille, etc) so not an easy swap.

Notice how much of the LH duct work is covered by the plastic light housing thing? A number of people on the board are concerned about engine temperatures, and this LED looks like it blocks a large majority of the airflow to the engine oil cooler on the LH side of the car.

I'm not sure how well that would work out if you track your car -- or just sit in stop and go traffic on a real hot day.

I dislike it very much... Too obviously just pasted over the OEM bumper and the original design of the bumper is gone.

I guess the verdict is kind of split out there.
IMHO, this is the best product to date that looks the closest to OEM. Until we have other options, that is the best out there but it is not cheap.
