W208 Parking LED Indicators

[steveoelliott]

Hi,

Since having my windscreen replaced, I have noticed some marks around the LED parking indicators. As my car has the mushroom / cream interior it looks like the plastic paint / coating has come off revealing the black plastic underneath.

Are these easy to remove / replace. Are they expensive?

Thanks...

Actually, if they are easy to remove perhaps the outer plastic shell is replaceable?

To be honest, I found out today these cost £185 each!!!! Going to look into those trim repair companies.

Still likely to be difficult to do in situe, what with being so close to the screen etc. Does anybody know how you remove these?

You can gently prise them out wih a plastic wedge,they are just clipped into the dash top be careful not to lose the cable when you unplug them. I sprayed the ones for my retrofit with plastic paint which worked well

Ah ok thanks... So just prise them out from the top carefully. Just to confirm yours was a w208 too right?

Actually, these pop out very easily. Thanks for your help...
