New (to me) 2012 E63 Wagon

I've been lurking for a while and finally pulled the trigger on this 2012 E63 Wagon (carbon & P30).

Does Mercedes-Benz make a euro clear corner light?

Wow, looks like mine only your wheels are different. Good question on that corner light, I might be interested in a clear one myself as that orange one does not look so good, clear would look sharper on this car, orange makes the car look more dated. Best car I've ever owned though, does everything I want in a car and has been super reliable so far, up to nearly 30K miles on it and no issues.

there are tons of clear ones on eBay, but I want OEM quality, which is why I'm asking if MB makes these.

Alternatively, if someone has had a good experience with a non-OEM, please let me know as well.

I might try a pair of these for $57.14 off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-13-MERCEDES-W212-E-CLASS-4D-SEDAN-CLEAR-BUMPER-SIDE-MARKER-LIGHT-CHROME-BULB/151426774708?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D333008%26algo%3DRIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25879%26meid%3D698dfc0aaae24d68932ce0a92796a8c1%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D10819%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D24%26sd%3D371148717547

Never really thought about how off the orange ones looks, looks so much cleaner especially with the Iridium silver color with the clear ones, here's a pic of black car with these clear ones.

Not bad, I was looking into a white wagon without PP and they were asking about $74k; Really want a RWD with P30 V8 BiTurbo wagon! Congrats on the new purchase!

OEM doesn't make clear corners. Euro spec cars have the whole light assembly deleted on the bumper since it's not required there.

Thanks for the info.

That said, can anyone recommend a quality aftermarket one?

Welcome to the "2012 P30 carbon wagon" crew. Mine's black

I had the lights wrapped in a vinyl that matches the black paint. No light gets through. If I ever sell it, I can just take the vinyl off.

Getting that light assembly out of there is weirdly difficult, BTW.

Good to know that getting the light assembly out is not as easy as it seems. I thought it would be relatively easy, since I've done it on other cars.

To get it out (like on most other Benzes) you have to pull back a couple clips from the inner wheel well liner which gives you access to that portion of the back part of the bumper.

With an unlimited budget the cleanest solution is to order the European bumper without the corner light cutout for a light delete.

I just picked these up. Will report back on how easy/difficult it is to install and how they look.

Congrats! It's absolutely stunning in silver. I really wanted a grey or silver one but couldn't pass up the condition and deal on mine.

Did you get LSD as well?

Drive it in good health!

Yes, I've had mine for about 1.5 years and bought in the mid 70's with 11K miles and mint, I could not justify buying one new for at least 100 grand. I'm going to try some color transparent tape on mine and see how I can get those side lenses to look, they do look pretty funky in orange.
