Clear Lenses
If anyone's interested.....A post on the AMG forum yesterday links you to the euroautolights.com site. Looks like they just released some clear marker lights for the W215 to replace those nasty orange lenses...

because you know how bimmerheads get those european clear corners and it looks a lot brighter white than the rest of the light housing? this is a longshot but anyone got pics of them installed?

It didn't take much to dig these up, but I may have answered my own request.
If these pics belong to a fellow board member & wishes them to be removed, simply "PM" me.
I think I want a set of HRE 547R & Brembos for my CL.![Smokin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smokin.gif)

Looking at the pics, they are probably held in place behind the marker with a couple of 10mm or 8mm bolts.
Not too familiar with the CL wheel well, but you probably have to remove a couple of the plastic pins/fasteners holding the inner fender trim to gain access to the back side of the markers.
I'm anticipating a 1.5 hr job with proper tools & taking my time.

Smoke
Mine is techtite grey and I didn't see an option for painted ones to match my car. Anyone found these in a smoked lense instead of painted or clear?
THANKS

Just a thought. Dare to be different.
