Hello Everyone,
Siri Emerald here,
I had to shave off a little piece of it on the part you squeeze together. at 0:41 you can see what you will need to shave off. There is a big Square piece on the top of that which you squeeze. On the very left of that big square piece is a little tab that locks into the Metal Fender Frame. It is too thick on the Replacement Part. I shaved it off a few millimeters and it snapped in perfectly fine. At 11:14, you can see on the Original where the piece is that you wills have thinner on the replacement. it is about a cm from my thumb.
Thanks for watching

Thanks for the tutorial. It was a great help. We had the same issue with the right marker as well, but it finally popped into place.

[@jabentley123]

Thank you for the video. I'm not a car person, but this helped me replace my own headlight.

[@SiriEmerald]

AWESOME!!!!

[@Ecrowder51]

My corner lamp assembly took me less than a minute to install. I started from the front where the two plastic clips are and it slid right in place on the very first try. If you start from the rear without inserting the 2 front clips you will be at this all day and you'll break the assembly.

[@SiriEmerald]

Correct. The problem with this corner lamp was in the actual design of it. The "locking clip" wasn't the same size as the original. I had to modify the clip and it then locked in perfectly. I explained that in the description info under the video.

[@firdausravindar977]

Thanks bro for sharing this valuable video on KZbin.👍😊😊😊

[@hamidijafri]

To help install the signal component, make sure you slid both plastic clips in the slot first. Then tap in gently toward inside....

[@SiriEmerald]

Yeah I did that, the problem was in the actual design of that replacement part. The "locking clip" wasn't the same size as the original. I modified the clip and it locked in perfectly. I explained that in the description info under the video.

[@kennethhlavik8155]

All you have to do, replacing the blinker inside marker lens. It's the play a little bit of Vaseline on where the alignment Tabs are! It's that simple! takes about 2 minutes!

[@djthesinsei]

Nice car man

[@rikuzonex]

You know that the prefacelift model has diffrent glass part and they dont go together. this video only works for 97-01 W202. Its alomost the same proses with 93-97 prefacelift. but the glass has frame with the glass and gont have that grove on the botom part of the glass. was here to confirm that when i started to look glass to my facelift model, i had changed one in prefacelft. and w202 c mercedes was made in years 93-2001. But great video overall :D

[@futu1983]

Haha yeah, those blinkers don't want to go in. Had to ram them hard with my knee.

[@SiriEmerald]

Yeah, I had to shave off a little piece of it on the part you squeeze together. at 0:41 you can see what you will need to shave off. There is a big Square piece on the top of that which you squeeze. On the very left of that big square piece is a little tab that locks into the Metal Fender Frame. It is too thick on the Replacement Part.

[@farhanezwan4447]

Thank you,it works!

[@farhanezwan4447]

Thank youu!

[@ravenevans3136]

5.20 the last clip for the glass reflector lens u put in, bottom right corner near the central bonnet grill (right next to the broken screw of the bottom trim), isnt sat in properly.

[@SiriEmerald]

Good Eye

[@bihmthethird]

I replaced my corner light and headlight, the headlight brights only with now...the lamps are new...would that be a fuse issue or bulb issue?

[@julesleon4057]

at any time you could have cut the video.when you started clubbing it with your hand had me in hysterics.thank you very much

[@SiriEmerald]

thanks!! laughs

[@murneyconley4566]

I have the same car and just upgraded the lights, the newer turn signal clips arnt bent out enough to meet up with the Chanel that the clips go into just bend them out

[@SiriEmerald]

yep, in the information under the video I explained how I fixed it. I had to shave off a little piece of it on the part you squeeze together. at 0:41 you can see what you will need to shave off. There is a big Square piece on the top of that which you squeeze. On the very left of that big square piece is a little tab that locks into the Metal Fender Frame. It is too thick on the Replacement Part. I shaved it off a few millimetres and it snapped in perfectly fine. At 11:14, you can see on the Original where the piece is that you will shave thinner on the replacement. It is about a cm from my thumb.

[@tesla3808]

😁

[@shmurda598]

Did you ever find where you could order the little part underneath the headlight assembly that you said you needed to replace i am currently looking for one and cant seem to find one anywhere.

[@SiriEmerald]

I did not seek one out. We have a Mechanic that owns a Mercedes Repair Shop here in town... Silver Star. www.mbzsilverstar.com/ ... Anything that I need that I can't find we give him a call. Look him up. My wife is wanting to sell this Mercedes as a matter of fact. 135,000 miles

[@patrickc.4827]

Is the C230 still for sale by chance?

[@MrCaver28935]

After you contacted the company did they send you a new one or did you have to modify it to make it fit?

[@SiriEmerald]

They sent another, but it still needed to be modified no matter

[@freedomjones3174]

You shave it at the locking mech

[@joesaric1]

I cant believe its possible to open this headlight so easy. In mine I noticed that on the side of the high beams inside they mist up with moisture. What could be the cause ?

[@SiriEmerald]

crack or hole someplace. The lens, the seal or the housing.

[@alecc2408]

Yep you have to buy Magnetti Morelli those aftermarket ones are crap!!

[@tahirhummetov6476]

Zavadskoy başka şeydi.

[@majeddaba9708]

That's what happens when you buy an aftermarket indicators....it's common in w202....don't waste your money... always buy genuine indicators for your w202

[@hamidijafri]

No... Its not install correctly

[@SiriEmerald]

I have to agree with you completely. I was able to modify it to work, but I imagine a genuine part would've been no problem.

[@royalflush3896]

Triple Check dem indicators. Mine flew off 2 times on the highway whilst I was sure they were in properly. Guess they werent

[@SiriEmerald]

after I made the adjustment to the "locking" piece, I haven't had an issue. Before making the adjustment, they wouldn't "Seat" properly, and I had a feeling that they could easily pop out. But now they "Snap" in perfectly

[@mzx9043]

sir how do you replace low beam bulb in c280

[@rikuzonex]

you trolling or what? :D

[@Muradmuradov0703]

Hella и Bosch чем хороши тем что зазоры идеально садятся. Depo Тайвань зазоры 2-3 мм гуляют. Стекло фары не идеально у них сделано. Сегодня на Мерседес ставил w202 Depo фары зазоры чуть гуляют а так нормально.

[@freedomjones3174]

Do the indicators from a w202 94 fit a 2000

[@rikuzonex]

yes they will

[@bobbobik9559]

На проволку прикрути

[@islamrzayev7500]

Или на клей посадить.

[@mustafamurtadha8419]

Man this physicaly painful....its a shame..dammmm the whole car is moving heheheheheheheheeee

[@tammexvi7515]

[@jayshawnkinard]

Siri Emerald sorry if im bothering you I just really wanted to borrow 7 of your phicen dolls can you give me a chance pretty pls when I finish ep1 I promise you that I'm going to be returning them back to you pls can I borrow 7 of your female phicen dolls when I get your answer I'll give you my address

[@znyam5552]

Руки женские, поэтому не вышло

[@1984-f7q]

i guess i missed the part where he "replaced the headlight"

[@SiriEmerald]

I think you are right. I should rename the video.

[@robertglover8819]

Frustrating to watch you struggle with the turn indicator. Practice first before doing a video. Makes me think I don’t want to do this.

[@SiriEmerald]

Real World Struggle. Turns out the indicator didn't fit. I had to modify it to make it fit, so keep that in mind should you need to buy one, you will need to modify it first.

[@Stretch_Armstrong666]

I get a lot of compliments and questions if I replaced my headlights. It’s 22 year glass that’s been detailed. They shine like glass should shine. The turn signals over the years not so much. They fall out while driving if there old.
