I haven't done this on a W212 but I installed the repair kits on a W211. I had to cut off the remainder of the original tabs. The repair brackets fit over the nubs and there were actually mounting posts on the headlight assembly to screw down the repair brackets. How much you have to cut/shave was a trial-and-error procedure. Cut, fit, cut again. Repeat until the repair bracket seats all the way down. Sorry, but I didn't take any pics.
