Replacing amber side corner lights

Good day guys. I wnated to check and see if these were the correct lights to replace the amber lights of if any of you had any idea where to get some better ones.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...ayphotohosting

Also, what type (and where can I buy them) of bulbs do I use and how do I remove these lights to replace them?

Thank you.

Thats the right ones. they should come with a clear bulb.
When you get them, youll see how they go in. Pry from the back and unhook.

Can anyone confirm if the clear corner light posted on ebay will replace the OEM amber on an 08??? The one posted here on ebay ... lists for replacing the 03-07 R230 models.

Is the bumper on the Year 08 R230 models different than the 07??? Thnx for the assist!

if you will just do ebay search for chrome bulbs. then look on the left and check mercedes benz, there are several that come up. Some just turn signal bulbs, and some complete sets and some side markers with chrome bulbs.

All you need is front turn signal bulbs. Use the clear bulbs that come with the clear side markers, they all look clear thru the markers.

Anyone out there have a website to purchase MB OEM replacement parts for MB sold in Germany / Europe?

If available ... I'd prefer to purchase the clear side-corner light as an OEM part vs aftermarket.

Thanks all!
