looks kinda old and out of date I think?

I put the US style turnsignals on my european C43 otherwise they are white lenses.
US style lenses are so much better in design, me like them alot!

amber lenses were fitted on early w202 cars from 1993 to 96 or something??
US cars never had those originally, did you buy them from MB stealership?

[nelius]

since US models never had them, they're quite popular here. I would swap my smoked OEM tails for some amber ones any day just because they're so rare over here in the US. And I heard people like to do the opposite in Europe and run clear corners and smoked tails. Found em on ebay

As far as them being outdated, I disagree. I think they fit the styling of the car. The w202 is a classic 90s sedan and I don't want to change that about it. I don't like when people put projector headlights and LED strips on our classy cars; it doesn't fit the car in my opinion.

projector crap lights and leds doesn't fit our cars design, you're absolutely correct!
amber turnsignal lenses are surely sought after in NA such as US style turnsignals are cool in Europe that's why I bought them for my C43.

People like different style on their cars, that's cool.

I agree. I want to remove the after market xenon kit from my c43 and go back to stock, as OEM xenon parts are hilariously expensive. Think stock would be better and cheaper. Maybe some blinking w210 mirrors.

Every time I drive a non HID vehicle, I miss my 4300K bright white HIDs! With the OEM Xenon Glass Lenses over my aftermarket (VVME) HID lights, they look perfectly original, and make the light pattern very acceptable. My full-glass coverage paid for one cracked glass lens, I paid for the other side. I would hate to go back!

As for the Amber corners, a love my clear front corners, but with Amber LED bulbs that I have on always while driving, and even usually when parked in parking lots. Our W202s have the Left or Right Parking Light feature... I just leave both sides on, and since they are LEDs, they can stay on for days without excessive heat or battery drain.

[nelius]

I need to start remembering to turn my parking light on at night. lol it's such a cool feature!

In the daylight photos, those full Ambers LOOK like they ARE on.
(Interesting combinations of variety us W202ers like to display and enjoy!)
