ok well i just bought a set of these off afellow member and thought i would post some pics of the fitment in case any other w202 member wants to do the same. very easy upgrade to do and took me about 25mins all in.
so first you will need these items:
to get your old ones off you just need to unscrew the 2 screws on the end of each sunvisor and the whole thing falls away.
next you need to get the other mounting points off, if you look carefuly there is a small flap you need to gently pop open to reveal the hidden screw, undo this and gently pop off the cover.
next you will need to take the centre section down, after poping off the clear plastic lenses you will see that the whole thing is actually held up by 2 small retaining clips, push these in a little and pop the whole lot out
as you can see from the picture below there are a lot of different empty positions depending i guess on what specs your car has, anyway the one i wanted was the second one up from the bottom on the left. 4 small holes for the black plastic plug to plug into.
now once you pop the grey covers off the new interior mirrors you will see the bits that need pushing into the small gap in between the rooflining and the roof. this bit is quite fiddly and you might have to get your fingers in there and push down on the liner a bit to get enough room so you can slip these little electrical clips into place...
now when you get these into place be careful not to disturb the small metal plate that the screw eventually screws into place and also make sure the clip goes in the right way up..!! this is probably the most fiddly bit of the whole thing, trust me the second one is easier to do after you have practiced on the first one
after that its just a matter of putting it all back together and hey presto
