After Market - Daytime "Hockey Stick" Running Lights
I know there has been some discussion about not being able to find after market LED running lights. For those interested, I just found this on eBay.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Good to see some new aftermarket parts popping up for this car.
What's the difference though? Is it just that the housing is all gloss black, as opposed to chrome?

It's actually hard for me to tell based on the pics. I'd need to see the OEM ones up close again. 
That price is CHEAP though, so you probably are getting what you pay for.
On the other hand, if the OEM's break or go out, etc. They'll be a helluva cheap alternative to whatever several hundreds M-B will want to charge you for new OEM ones.

The whole damn thing. That's what sucks about LED's. If one little bulb goes out, it'll look totally hooptie. Forcing you to have to change out a whole expensive unit, because one little piece is out.
These are unlikely scenarios (at least for a while, as yes, they are "intended to last a lifetime"), but just hope they don't pop up. They'll make you long for the days of singular halogen bulbs.

I don't disagree with you, nor do I endorse the product. Just posted it because its the first time I have seen them offered "after market".

I think it's great that stuff like this is coming out. I bought a 2010 and had to get the P2 package to get the LED's.
I think you would also have to get a new mesh piece if you have the oval lights now...don't you think?
