That is funny it's my own opinion it looks better.
I have an 1998 C 280 without sidemarkers,they were at this time in the
lights on the side.
But i cannot drive with sidemarkers in Germany,it's not allowed.
I don't understand that,in Sweden you can have them.
It's more safe with them.
A friend of mine had an accident,because he didn't saw on the autobahn in the night,which stands on the street sideways.
