clear corner lamps

did some mods, minor on my MBs

what does the group think of the smoked side markers on my CLS55 and the clear markers on my E500 wagon?

Also what about those chrome pipes extension on the wagon?

Bonus points for those who can spot the mod on the front of the E500 wagon. Apologies for the Treo photo quality

Looks good, front grill inserts from grey to black? Clear corners on the E look better than the smoked ones on the CLS.

Getting Steve to further lower the car?

the answer from w211 is not fair. He knew what i was doing ahead of time and he gave away the bonus question-yes, I've changed the grill inserts from grey (E500) to the black (E320).

I didn't know you were going that route, I just have very sharp eyes thanks to a good eye doctor. Looks a lot better.

When are they done paving your back lane?

Yes the clear corners are a marked improvement over the orange. I received my clear corners last week and have been very happy with the look. I am now considering the Hoen chrome-amber bulbs for the clear corners. Also, has anyone found a chrome-extreme white W5W for the front parking light?

I did the silver coat H5W bulbs for the corners and have been happy with the visual results. The extreme white H5W are easy to find. Its on the net almost everywhere. try stealthauto.com Funny thing is that in my 2006 CLS55, the factory has put in the white (blus colored) parking bulbs already

My issue with the extreme white W5W bulbs is they look so blue when they are not lit. I haven't found any chromed - extreme white W5Ws.
