Just installed those clear side marker lens from the eBay seller Fishcake.
It took me almost an hour to install because I did the job extremely slow and careful.
Perfect fitment without any trimming. Very easy to install. I am thinking whether I should buy a pair of those "amber" canbus led bulbs.

Here are some pictures that I took this afternoon of the car with the winter wheels and the new installed clear side markers:
Regarding the shipment, it took less than a week from USA to Canada by UPS.
The car is wrapped by the ventureshield on the whole hood and part on the both sides of the fender. Window tint is 35% all around.
Next mod: trunk lip spoiler (still looking for the good price)

Umm... $625 - even less... http://www.usarim.com/wheels-rims-fi...al-p-1232.html
Not many people in here would purchase a set of winter wheels package from US and pay extra money for brokerage fees and shipping. The salt on the road will damage the finish on the rims most of the time.
Most of the wheel and tire shops offer the inexpensive package during the winter season, it is wise to purchase locally.
Beside, I am not driving the super expensive car, there is no need to spend money on expensive winter wheel package.

Here's my share
Took care both cars over the weekend. Did something stupid and broke the amber reflectors 
I thought we could just pry the side markers out and nope, it's not like the w211, w210 or w203 back in the days. You have to unlock the 3 little pins in the fender liner and work from the inside.
Both the W204 and C207 have plastic housings inside the bumper to hold the reflectors in place.

Those chips are made of soft plastic. Use a small flat head to loosen the smallest circular pin (about 2 to 3cm), then use a small plier carefully pull that pin out. After that, you can use your finger nails to remove the bigger circular pin. Just do it slow.

You have to use your right palm to hold the Len and push forward to the front end of the car. While at the same time, use your left hand to hold that black plastic bracket. This method only applies to the passenger side marker. Reverse the order on the driver side. Make sure you don't put the light bulb adaptor to the Len after the len with the bracket locked and secured to the bumper.

For safety reason, those side markers should be orange colour during the night time. However, I see most drivers here have white light bulbs inside the side markers. White light should be brighter than amber.

I could not find any brighter "Amber" canbus bulbs in any local retail stores here. I ordered a pair from China and see how they look but it took at least 25 days to be arrived here due to shipped by China Post.
