Clear tail lights?
Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on clear tail lights for a 97 W210 as well as a sports grill?
Thanks,

lol it's not just Mark that calls clear tails rice - that's what clear tails are ;0)

Get the AMG ones - it's a Benz not a Honda.

Both items can be found either in Mexico, or at stoplights in East LA. Get your oranges at the same time.

The clear tail lights do look good on silver cars. However, I don't think they would look good on any other color.

This is what it looks like on silver, in-pro has them......was considering them for my white E but decided the original MY00+ clear or the E55/Advantgarde ones look classier :

In-Pro lenses are Taiwan-made crap and will turn yellow after a couple of months.

And perhaps there's a reason that no high quality companies make them ;0)

I think the reason is more likely that they just don't look right...the projector upgrades are also Taiwanese crap - leaks and gives patheltic light but they're still selling loads of those (mostly in the US tho)...
