Got my clear corners in today and had them installed in 10 minutes flat.

Here's how they turned out.

They were an eBay special.

Seller shipped them the day after I paid from California and I had them in Maryland in 3 days. Couldn't have asked for more.

hows the install process?

crb49

Verrry nice. I like your rims also. Mfg?

What a classy series, the E.

Benz-O-Rama

Couldn't be easier. Just use a small flat head screwdriver to pop out the old ones. Start by inserting the screwdriver at the rear most end of the light, and the whole thing pretty much pops out. Then you just pop out the bulb assembly and insert it in the new light. Insert the forward most portion of the new light and then let the rear just click in. Really, a blind man with one hand could do it.



The wheels are made by MRR. I have a 19X8.5 fronts and 19X9.5 rears. I purchased them from a vendor on this site, D2Autosport. I can't say enough good things about Derrick there at D2. Great customer service.

very nice!

I think I may have to pick up a pair for my E.

rodE350

just an FYI, I had the clear corners from ebay for about month and they would get water in them and fog up. Not sure if they were defective or that's just how they are. I changed to Euro strips shortly thereafter.

mbuskuhl.....thanks for the heads up.

I'll keep a look out for that. The hole in the back for the bulb assembly is the only point of entry into the inside of the lamp. On mine, the bulb assembly has a gasket around it where it meets the back of the light and it twists in and locks. So it seals up pretty good. I'll definately keep a look out though. Thanks for the heads up.

I found the clear corners to have somewhat brittle mounting clips. I have had to reinforce them with a plastic-epoxy and aluminum after they cracked. I have also replaced the bulbs with silvered-amber bulbs to get rid of the yellow cast the clear corners had when the bulbs were not lit.

Benz-O-Rama

I left the clear bulbs in instead of using the amber ones that come with the clear corners. So I don't have the problem of yellow showing through when the lights are off. And the clear corners I bought do not have brittle mounting clips. Mine are the same quality as the OEM's I took out. They look, smell, taste, act just the like the OEMs.

I prefer to taste the softer molded bumpers rather than the hard plastic of the lenses.

To each their own though. . . . . .

rodE350

what you guys think.....will the clear corner lenses look good on a white E?

W211 Ryda

IMO…clear corners would look better on a light colored car…especially on white, rather than a dark colored car. I bought a set of clears on Ebay about a year ago and was impressed with the quality, finish, and fitment but sold it a couple of weeks later to a forum member. It was made by Depo, which is a popular manufacturer of clear corners for other makes of cars. Clear corners > stock ambers

rodE350

why did you sell it? you went to the Euro bumper strips?

rodE350

I will assume these will fit the E350 as well.

W211 Ryda

Yeah, sold it because I wanted the euro look…a cleaner front. If I didn’t get the euro strips, I would definitely keep the clears.

rodE350

yes, I agree. The Euro strips is the way to go. I see your Phil. flag. Pinoy here too.....kamusta.

W211 Ryda

Yup yup…filipino here bro! I’m not sure how many other pinoys we have on the forum though. You should post some pics of your ride if you haven’t done so.

Benz-O-Rama

EHEM!!!!

No posting on my thread unless you're talking about how sick my car looks.


That is all. Carry on.

W211 Ryda

LMAO! nice sig pic...like it better than your previous one!
