I just saw this being offered, http://www.euroautolights.com/produc...roducts_id=140



Do any of you guys have a set yet I would liek to see the contrast on black exterior. Please post up pics if you have them !

Thanks!

 

get them if you are keen to have them! ...

they look fine .. actually my car doesnt have these ... I think euro spec cars doesnt have them

 

thanks for the link. i just bought them

 

please post pics when you get them on!

 

dsb, Also let us know how difficult these are to install.

 

They look good.

You could also order new euro bumper strips for your car and replace yours. You see, in Europe, the bumper lights are not required, so the strip pieces don't have a hole in them for the lights.

 

Not very difficult, turn your wheel all the way right to access the left side and vice versa, take out a few bolts of the plastic to get access to the front bumper, the light is clipped on the front with a screw.

 

Wow that was fast shipping! Got it today! I'll post pics later. Any of you guys got yours too already ?

 

Can't wait to see the pics!!! Please post pics ASAP!

 

I just got home from Las Vegas. The package was on my doorstep. I'll try to get it installed today. Hopefully, I will have some time! If so, pics will be posted.

 

Shini, I thought we established a long time back that for R171 (different than R170) it is NOT a bumper strip, just looks like it. Actually a one piece bumper, different PN/mold for Euro. So there is no "bumper strip" PN to order. Further the side lights are attached from the inside of the bumper and require access from the inside.

Did something change for '06?

 

Hey, for those of you guys that have already received these units, are they original MB parts? Thanks.

 

I dont think MB sell this kind of parts. I will say they are aftermarket

 

Any pictures yet???

 

Sorry for no pics...
One of my lights were scratched! At least the online company is doing me right. They gave me a RMA#. I'm awaiting my replacements.

BTW, I think you need to remove the entire bumper for the install. I removed two screws from the wheel well and 1 from the bottom of the spoiler. That allowed me to touch the light and even remove the bulb, but you still don't have ample access to unscrew the marker. Therefore, the bumper must be removed. I'm not 100% sure on this but that's what it seems like. I didn't want to go further until I get the replacements. I did find the amber bulb at a Kragen's. That's one step further!

 

Pics could be found here

You DON'T have to remove the whole bumper, that's too much work. I have a brief instruction in my post above, bmwnomore also has some good instrustions on the link above.

 

Yup, found the same post. I'm glad I was wrong! Now, I want my side markers to get here!

 

before and after pics on caspian blue. i kept the clear bulbs.

 

Wow that looks pretty cool! Was it hard to install?

Have you guys seen this bulb or have used it?

 

It was an easy install. you can read more about it here...

Now, the pics you show are for another light. Although I went through the trouble of purchasing those lights online, I was never able to install them. I nearly cut my arm off trying to get the stupid light bulb out. So, the new bulbs are still in their sealed package.

 

I was thinking of getting both but from what you're saying the bulb is going to be hard to change?

 

Wow that looks nice! I need to find the right bit to start unscrewing the fixture!

 

Oh right, I think it WAS the R170 where they were strips...

Yeah, kinda expensive to just get a euro 55 bumper.

 

What kind of bulbs were they? 168/ 194's ?
I'm thinking of going with the super ambers to keep it legal.

 

194 for the side marker.
