I wanted to add sidemarkers but was worried about rust problems. After shopping through possible sidemarkers I came across an MB SLK and noticed they had a rubber lip to keep water, etc out of the hole. What better to prevent rust than that. I went to the nearest MB dealership and bought the kit.

i used the diy instructions from this site and installed them...but using a dremel to cut the large hole and the sheet metal nibbler to slowly expand it...i also used primer spray to seal against rust...the hole doesn't look pretty but it is even on both sides and has a good seal

LOL I just noticed I have the same jack as you Jaje. How much did you pay for yours? I went down the Pep Boys, and it was marked $80...so I was like hmm that's a lot, but it will do for now, and then I'll return it when I'm done. I went to go pay for it, and the chick was like $29.95 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I was like SAWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!

less than $50 including virginia tax

the SLK is the small mercedes convertible
wiring was easy...all you have to do is tap the turn signal lights which are in the wheelwell

i got the jack and two jackstands for $50 at trak auto...the jack is nice...the jackstands aren't that great...they get jammed easily and you have to bang it with a hammer to get it unstuck
