Thank you very much Clayton for the kind words. Your car is looking very nice! Also the new pics are hot!

Ordered them on Monday evening, got them today and installed them in 2 min 45 seconds flat.. Sorry Benz-O-Rama but then again if you didn't post the instructions it would have taken me 10 minutes or perhaps longer . The quality looks actually better than the OEM's. The look is much better and I was happy to put the old ones or the shelf with the collection of other OEM parts that have been replaced.

Thanks again for the lead and the instructions Benz-O-Rama

Yeah man, glad to help. Did you buy from the same vendor as me? The quality is good, isn't it? Like you said, at least equal to OEM if not better. Glad your enjoying them. Did you put the amber bulbs in or leave the clear ones in? I left the clear ones. Just looks better IMO.

Post some pics for all to see.

Purchased them from the same ebayer as you, one of the best in terms of shipping I have dealt with. I kept the stock clear bulbs in verus those amber ones. Enjoying the looks of the front-end all being chrome/clear. Good alternative to the Eurostrips for now. Will get some pic's once I get the car washed this weekend. Thanks again

Now, what am I doing wrong here fellas. I can't seem to pry out the stock lense using a flat screw driver as mentioned by Benz-O-Rama. It feels like it is spring loaded inside and I am afraid I will break something.

There is a "U" shaped clip on the small end of the lens that is holding it in place. You have to slip a thin screwdriver behind the lens after prying it out enough to release that clip.

No problem Rod.

I think I'm going to start a movement in this country to get rid of all ugly yellow corner lights. Man are they horrible looking.

install went well after i figured i had to use 2 small flat screw drivers. i had to use 1 to pry the end out while i use the 2nd one to slightly push the clip which is behind the end of the lense to release the entire lense. you have to make sure to use a cloth around the screw driver to protect your paint. i used cloth to protect it but i chipped the paint anyway. a touch up paint will take care of that. TIP....before you even get your clears buy the silver bulbs so you will be set when you install the clears. the silver bulbs will be yellow when lit. i will get a pair myself and replace the stock bulbs. good luck.
