Baron7700 · 09-25-2006

Ya where did u guys get them, after seeing a bunch of them at the meet, it seems like a pretty basic must have, especially for black!

Thanks alot guys!

Euroautolights.com, IIRC, but let me get more info later tonight. Heres a link: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r171...r+side+markers

Tailspin · 09-26-2006

You can also find them at Free Style Motorsports, http://www.freestylemotorsports.com. Mine were US$49 + shipping for the pair. They are very easy to install. They should look good on any color, but especially on dark colors like mine (capri blue).

Here is the link to the R171 product at euroautolights.com: http://www.freestylemotorsports.com/...beee08363ea3f8

It cross links to the one Tailspin posted.

In Europe, we don't have (thank God) those side markers

Obviously a personal choice. I have no complaints with the amber lenses.

Wow thats awesome. Wish I had no markers.... (for looks not for safety!)

*easty* · 10-25-2006

Why do they always charge so much postage? they should use usps!

**Ynot** · 10-26-2006

How bout some painted ones for $10 bucks.

Baron7700 · 10-26-2006

whats funny was I was thinkin about just paintin them black. Or maybe just tinting them, does any light still come thro. I wonder if theyre would be an issue with the cops with that.

Yes, light still comes thru, you have to remove the light bulb to fix that.

s doesn't know it's lighted side markers once it's painted.

*easty* · 10-26-2006

sounds like we need a blanking plate.

Ynot, a resistor would fix your bulb shining through issue. Once its installed you can simply pull out the bulb, and never get a bulb out warning

If you installed your side markers, you can install resistors... really easy job.

sorry for the newbie question, what kind and where to buy? I've never brought resistors before?

It will all be clear once we i get the resistor tutorial together. (Hope this weekend)

There seems to be much demand for resistors, as
RESISTOR = MERCEDES DRIVER'S FRIEND

So to make things easy on everyone, i'll start producing these bad boys already wired up and insulated.
My reason for this is consistant with what i wrote up for the Kleyman 3BFM installation. If not handled properly, they can be damaging. This is not to scare anyone, but if you follow directions and use some common sense they are as safe as installing a lightbulb.

All will be clear soon...

Papa Noregets, tell us a story about resistors! haha.

*easty* · 10-27-2006

resistance to NR4L's resistor mods is futile! hehe
