Thanks Flexx! I didn't know there were lights under the mirrors.

[@usmanazhar5709]

You make the best videos for w205 mods. Very detailed and professional.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I try...

[@johnnyneutron572]

Thanks for the instructions man. I had them installed by a foreign auto repair shop. The lights worked for 3 weeks then went out.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

DMP car design’s lights work amazing and they come with a warranty. So I’m not sure where you bought yours from but it’s probably bad quality or the shop didn’t use the right resistor and that’s why the lights burned out so quick.

[@6Mephisto666]

So this came in today and I installed it, but it wasn't so easy. The mirror cover was really hard to pry open, way harder than in the video. When I managed to get the cover opened, the left mirror was as shown, but the right mirror on my car was different, there is some device in plastic housing and because the DMP light box is bigger than the original, it just wouldn't fit in there. I had to saw the corners of the light box and sand off the plastic inside the mirror. After doing that and trying a couple of times it finally went in. But it works good and looks awesome. Hopefully it will last.

[@superdlucks]

What was the make, model and year or your car?

[@MrCgoins32]

I had the same problem on the right side. I took a very long time moving around, but I had to force it in. 2018 E300

[@LuisMiguel-jy6jn]

Wow man ,you really do a great job,and really show how it’s done,really good spoken English.

[@Changingtesting]

I respect you for removing the AMG lights, I highly dislike people who modify their stock cars with AMG parts to make it “seem” like an AMG

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Well. You need to understand that there’s such thing as an “AMG packaged” car now. My C300 has an “AMG” package from the factory. Which includes sport wheels, sport steering wheel, sport brakes, AMG floor mats, and some other sport stuff. I personally think it’s dumb cause in my opinion, a true AMG has the V8 engine. And that’s why I left the badge off. But if someone has an “AMG packaged” car and wanna wear the AMG badge. Go ahead. But don’t get mad when people mock you for not being a real AMG.

[@Kaizenauto]

just did this on my 2015 C63s. Easy quick mod. Had to dremmel out some plastic on the RH side mirror internals though. Still not too bad.

Hello friend, I have a question, what is this resistance for? Is it mandatory to weld it? I have seen that lamp in other stores and they do not bring that resistance. a greeting.

[@ad1236]

Hi Flexx, bought these and with your help fitted them on my W205, every one has commented on how good they look!! Please keep doing more W205 videos, from the UK! Do you have any tips on fitting rear pulse lights? like the indicators (turn signals) on the new Audis?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You mean sequential lights? That requires a whole entire rear tail lamp that has that style turn signal built in. Unless there’s a retrofit kit out in the market that I’m not aware of. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi got the item, Left side installed no issues, however the right side interior is slightly different, the new puddle light does not have enough clearance to slide into place How did you do it? it was impossible, the new puddle is taller than the stock one. for the right side mirror the space above is much less than left side .

Great video. I have a couple questions before I take on this project. How long does it take without the resistor. The lights I found said no resistor required. Should I also be at all concerned removing the rear view cover. I heard what you said, but the video really doesn't describe the removal in enough detail to make me comfortable. Great upgrade, I just want to be careful, this is a Hyundai we're playing with.
