I emailed them to see if they plan on offering any other OEM colors. Figured I'd ask before I bite the bullet on a pair of black ones for my Palladium C63.

Looks sharp on an obsidian black

Wow, that was really fast.

When I originally came across this item on eBay, I was just seeking for suggestions. Thank you for TOFTT!! This is why I love this forum.

I'll be picking up my set very soon!

Hey guys, I tried to make a pretty thorough write up, but afterwards I realized I probably didn't take enough pics. This should be a start though, if anyone has install questions, just send me a PM and I can help you out.

k, just get out your microscope and you should be able to read that lol

.. damn photobucket is resizing that thing...

try tinypic.com and resize it as message board.

tinypic sucks. so does imgshack and photobucket.

use imgur.com, no resizing issues, and they wont remove your image if it has a lot of views.

So that write up wasn't as complete as I imagined, but if you use it as a guideline you will be able to figure out how it all comes apart. The biggest trick was figuring out how the mirror glass came out (and if it was supposed to at all). Once I got that out of the way it is pretty straight forward.

more complex than I thought it would be...

Same here.
I thought because it was just a mirror cover replacement, all of the work is done on the outside and not involving removing the tweeter cover.

Thanks for the instructions. Waiting on other people's installation experiences.

nice write up blue. anyone know if the puddle light are legal in CA?

jctevere

I don't see why they shouldn't be. Escalade's and other luxury cars have them stock form the factory. As long as they don't light up when your driving you will be fine.

Looks good. A worthwhile mod.

It really isn't as bad as it might sound. Like I mentioned previously, the first side took me a while to figure out how it was *supposed* to come apart. The second mirror I did was actually a very quick process.

I'm anxious to see how these will look on a white car as the blinker style is a lot more noticeable than on the black.

Well I couldn't wait so I ordered my pair, they told me they were for the right car and being a reputable ebay seller I didn't have any doubts ordering from them.

They shipped them very fast! I got them in less than a week and I'm in Toronto Canada.

They come in a retail box, so they must be making a ton of them.

On first glance they seem high quality, paint is nice, plastic is nice and thick.. I have a White 2008 C-Class so they are painted the right color.

There is no chrome in the package at all as we had seen in pics.

I am going to install them later in the day and post updates. Curious about the Puddle light wiring, but we will see.

Here are a few unboxing pics..

By chance when you pulled it out, did you get a look at the blinker light and see what bulb type it was? I see the puddle light is an assembly, but wasn't sure if the blinkers were assembly or bulb.

jctevere statement is correct

blue00r6

Let me know how you wire up the puddle lights! I'm excited to see them on white!

Skinny

Will do.. But I do believe the puddle light will be wired within the door to the door light at the bottom, which is on when you disarm the car and when the door is open...

blue00r6

ah good point. well test out the place to tap it and then I'll have myself a project this weekend

Hzkasbarian

Wow im prob going to be the next one to get one, but i just want to see how the puddle lights work outt

Skinny

Installed! They look wicked! I will post pictures tomorrow.. Not as easy as you may think. But once you do one, the second is a lot faster. The instructions that Blue00r6 made are very good. As for the puddle lights, the wires are run, but will have to connect tomorrow.. I'm not going to rip my car apart for puddle lights, so they will only work when the door is open, or interior door light switch is turned on, as they will be spliced into the doors courtesy light.

Hzkasbarian

you know i was thinking that you can extend the wire from the puddle lights and run it to the dome lights in the interior, because when you unlock the car the dome lights get slowly get brighter inside and the puddle lights will do the same when connected to the dome
