I would prefer this route as well, since I do not like the idea of putting in the euro bumper strips and letting the bulb just hang on the inside there. If a viable way of removing the bulb and not having the warning come on was available, I would put in the bumper strips since they do indeed look 10 times better, but since that is not the case...I have been looking and have yet to find someone who makes the clear bumper lenses for our car..

Does anyone have a picture of the Euro Strip on their car? I would like to see what they look like. It puzzles me how they (aftermarket places) can make clear lenses for the C class but not the E class. Just so there is no confusion I am talking about the amber lenses, turn signals, on the front bumper.

For the longest time, European and most Asian versions of all Benz's don't have the clear reflectors/lights on the bumper strip. I often wonder why they need them in the US. The funny thing is, the Japanese are selling the US bumper strips (with the lights) as an aftermarket "mod" part...........

Try here. A lot of memebrs do trade with these folks. The best part is they come colour coded and can easily swapped out in 5 mins per side.
Remember there are different versions depending if you have Parktronic or not!
