Thanks a lot david!!! well... yea.. the back lights on the benz are cracking so they do need replacing... probably within the year before it starts letting moisture inside and wreaking all havoc on the electrical system.. so i dont want to chance it... but 200 each!!! wow...
I dont think I will be doing the HID conversion..

a little overboard there!!! hahaha.. but the lens needs changing since it is really white/brown/foggy already.
now about the clear corners... if they only $50... wow.. I'm up to get them...

again thanks for your help!!!
