BTW: I haven't heard someone use deity in a loooong time.

I dont think the one from the 350 would work Andy... If you buy that as a part it will have the hole in the middle for the fog light.

Unless you cover that with the metal mesh and than retrofit the led there.
W.e LED part you buy it will be wider than the fog light itself.

Dyno can you find the part nr for the C class LED strip?

im saying if we can find something like that and of course w/o the hole for the fog light so that we cut the top part and insert the LED strip in.

I am willing to do this or get into a GB if someone could get a manufacturer to make this piece for us. Of course we need the right LED strip we gonna use too.
