hows the installation? is it just a pop and go?

Jay9722

Do you have any available for a 2003 CL in Brilliant Silver (non parktronic)?

The install is easy. You pop the insert at one end and slide the entire unit to free up the bindings. If you have parktronic, you need to move all your sensors over to the new piece and then you need to decide what to do with the running lights. Easiest is to wrap the light and housing in a thick material (tape backed material sells everywhere) and tie it up into the body. The best way is to pull the lights out and go in with STAR SDS and turn that feature off (as in the Euro setting).

Steve@Mbenznl used to sell them, so maybe creative is getting them through him? Also, I know a couple of others that are getting access to Euro spec parts through the dealers.

As always, check into your vendors and be happy with who you support.

Attached are a few photos, the black ones are the standard stock ones with the reflector, the silvers are the european ones with and without parktronic.

Jangy,

I purchased my current W211's strips from Steve, with the conversion now it's just not logical. I paid like $700 for them. I was able to get my R230 strips through the dealer - $190. I do not believe the W211 ones can easily be gotten through the dealer, but $300 is a great deal for the cleanest way to get rid of those NASTY orange reflectors. I seriously have a phobia when it comes to orange reflectors... all 3 of my cars have them deleted.

FWIW...I ordered a pair earlier and met up with James over the weekend to receive them (thanks James). I have not installed them so I cannot speak to fitment, but they look great and as many of you know customer service is

James - I picked up those OEM xenons and they are 100% legit (to the eye). Brand new and never installed. They will be installed this week so hopefully everything works out. Thanks again for everything.

jangy

Good luck on the install.

I am told that all euro parts can now be ordered as long as you have a reference vin and the part number. I have no clue why the cost went so high and then down. I paid $200 for mine.

nice price for them. I would get them, but I just got my markers painted instead.

jangy

DUDE!!!

Actually, it looks very different than painted as well (IMO), but I'm glad you aren't buying them .

JDM_SXE-10

So that is the price for a pair of painted ones?

James@Creative

Yes it is,

MB_forever I'm sorry I guess i attached the photos in a different tread so it does not allow me to post them here.

Here is the link however.

Jangy,

Would you have a "reference vin" and a "part number" I would like to purchase them from the dealer if the price is right.

Thanks

Same here, first thing I do besides window tint is plot my orange marker assasination. But I also hate the egg yolk look in the head lamps so I get rid of all the orange blinkers too and replace them with the clear ones that blink amber.

JoelE55

So are you suppose to do with the side marker lamp..? If you unplug it the light on dash will comes on....so what to do you at this point?

Amiricanmade

+1, if you get these what happens to the wiring?

Vic55

Leave the bulb in and tie it down to the inside. I did on my W210E55, W211E55, and CL65. The wiring comes from inside the fender and there are several places up on inside of the fender where you can tie it down. You will see these locations when you have the marker or entire strip out.

dkallencat1

Does the chrome trim come with it? Or do you use your old one?

Road Racer

Will it fit to a E63 bumper?

ECBAOBAO

When you remove it, you have to pop out the side not directly infront, but the side that curves towards the side of the car? How hard should I be pulling to pop it out?

Thanks

James@ACG

I have these in stock if you are interested, they come painted, price is $225 plus shipping.

New chrome strips are provided, all that is required is for you to pop off the old and snap on the new.

No they will not, as the E63 does not have an actual removable strip, the strip on the E63's are all integrated into the bumper.

Yes, it would be advised to start where the current orange reflector is, there is where 4 or 6 clips will be located on that side, once those clips are dislogged, then you would simply slide out the bumper strip from the front side.
