Here we go. After nearly a year lusting after eurolights and clear corners for my benz I finally did it. I asked many, many questions along the way. Thank you all for your input. What follows is a few pictures of my installation. I hope it helps someone. If anyone has any questions I will gladly take more pictures and walk you through it.
The first picture is the old harness which I unplugged from the back of my lights. It is shown with the cover off next to the new harness.
This are the pins installed in the new 6-pin harness.
That new harness just simply plugs into the new lights. Actual installation of the lights is very straightforward. Three bolts each side.
The old look........
Total of about $300 and an hour of my time. What a difference!!!
If anyone has any questions whatsoever either post them here or e-mail me and I will take more pics.
FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Very nice, vwbuge. If your headlights have city light bulbs, a jumper wire from each corner light to headlight Pin #3 should power them up."
