side marker lenses

Does anyone know where to secure either clear or gray tinted front side marker lenses for a W218? Thanks.

Try E-Bay? Seemed to be a great assortment available when I bought mine. Quality/fitment, no complaints.

Thanks RayGT3. All I could find on EBay at this time are ones for the W219. The current orange side markers stand out way too much on the W218.

Thanks for the tip. However, I noticed that the side lenses of the CLS63 are different than that of the CLS550. Oh well, still searching. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

My bad, sorry, didn't realize they were different.

While you are waiting for the aftermarket lenses, you could always paint the ones you have. Many do this as a permanent solution. Even painted, the light shines through.

Not to sound ignorant, but how would you paint the side markers?

UPDATE

I just ordered some painted side reflectors from evosport. They took my vin# and will match the paint to the body. I have seen a few cars on this board with paint matched markers from them and they look very good. The website doesn't list the markers for our model, (W218), but when I called he said they haven't updated the site in a while and he can get any car. I should have them by wed or thurs of next week.

SUCCESS!
