E-bay Seller name is goodstuffs4u. I have bought several sets from him all great parts and fast shipping. He also has smoked side markers. Here is the e-bay item # for the clear markers.
Item number:310219621130

Andy,

Are your side markers smoked?

My car is black, I like the look of not being able to see the sidemarkers..

Cool. After seeing yours, I'm going smoked.

Just what I wanted to see. Thanks Gene.

Guessing you have to use chrome bulbs?

Mine are painted to body color. It cost about the same for getting eBay clear/smoke ones or painting my OEM ones so I figured I'd just use OEM ones.

Another thing is if you use the smoked ones from eBay you can still see the light coming out. My bodyshop put a thick paint on mine so light doesn't go through at all.

It replaces the entire strip with one that has no cutout for the side marker. Cleanest look possible, and OEM (the european R230 does not come with any sidemarker, it's a US reg)

There are a couple of forum members who could probably help you. I think one guy has the name Brenton or Master Brenton.

I thought about this, too. But then I'll probably retorfit the parktronic later so it'd make sense if I do both at the same time. What HE is that? Looks good behind the bumper grill.

'05 SL 55 Black/Black w/mods from Eurocharged/Kleemann/BuckheadImports
Post Where?
Where can we buy online smoked side marker lens with a blue bulb inside, and also where can we buy a smoked rear brake light lens (the 6 or so inch long rectangular horizontal strip on the deck lid)?

Also would be nice to know where to buy illuminated AMG door sill panels and fog light upgrade bulbs/kits.....


Also, where is the best prices for interior carbon fiber upgrade parts/CF sterring wheels/shift knobs?

thanks alot guys!
