diffent style light

[Sydney 218]

I finally found the front panels for my 05 cabrio. My other 3 smarts have round lights this nose cone has this style. Why is there a difference?

so these are UK lights that MB removed then replaced with the round lights when they were retrofitted to be sold in Canada?

i wonder how this car made it thru the cracks?

maybe the buyer imported it themself instead of the dealer

When new panels are ordered from Mercedes they are not drilled out for the 2 1/2'' truck lights. The front panel was probably damaged and replaced. 

And then the correct side marker light was sourced.

The same applies for the rear panels. New panels will be ''smooth bum'' - no holes drilled for the pod light.

 

My personal smart does not have the rear pod lights.

 

The front and rear lights were changed at the request of Transport Canada.

i like them also.   the round truck lights just don't look like the belong.

I change the ''orange slices'' to clear/amber led's - one of my trademarks!

I thought it would be easy to source, but I can't find the twist sockets that hold the lights in these lenses. Any idea where I can get them?
