There is a forum member in the w204/C63 forums that I have contacted to do a Group Buy for the reprogramming of the w204 2008-2009 SAM Module that controls the rear tail light functions, so that they will then work 100% OEM style with no errors and all bulbs functioning like they are supposed to from the factory. This is a great opportunity to upgrade to the new 2012 style lights and have them fully functioning by saving up to 50% of the normal reprogramming price.

Normal SAM Reprogram Price: $200
5 Person Group Buy Price: $150
10 Person Group Buy Price: $100

I know I have seen a few people in here buy the 2012 tail lights recently and some have left them installed with the drivers side rear fog light on 100% of the time and the drivers break light partially on, which looks pretty sloppy and doesn't function correctly...

2012 PART #s to order from www.Parts.com:

Left Tail: 204 820 41 64 ≈ $200
Right Tail: 204 820 28 64 ≈ $200
Shipping: ≈ $60



Left = before reprogramming (Not lit up properly having break light always on and driver side rear fog always On)
Right = after reprogramming (100% factory)

Here is the main thread for the retrofit:

So if anybody is down, please add your name below and when we hopefully get 5 or 10 people, I will contact him and him know we have enough and we can coordinate a date to start shipping our SAM modules to him:

I'm interested but would like to know what type of savings we are talking about first. As it seems as if you haven't even ask if he will do it or how many it would take for him to agree to it

rb23lb

cool thanks for interest... ill PM him today and get back with his proposal....

So the new tails look to be $201 plus shipping each tail, both shipped for $465 in the usa, and then the sam reprogram. So aprox $665 total?

rb23lb

≈ $565 total if we get 10 people in the group buy (see edited first post above - he will take off $100 for 10 people, $50 for 5 people)

I just got pricing from him today.... We will have to include a return shipping label and ship it there, so add $5+$5 ≈ $10 more bucks for shipping

I can't think of a better/cheaper way I have seen yet on the forums to get the new tails working proper with the older w204s... So I think $100 for total OEM function is worth it at this point....

This is probably a dumb question, but will the lights light up at all without the SAM (ie while i have it in transit)?

I don't think you can move the car with the SAM pulled, let alone the taillights.

Without the rear SAM, the car cannot be used. But then, with a C63 with all those mods, you can swing a rental car for a short time.

FYI, here's a write-up of a DIY to remove your SAM. It's actually fairly easy. This is a great opportunity to improve the look of your rear section. I already had this done, so I unfortunately can't be the 10th person, otherwise I'd be all over it. Whipple did excellent work and turned it around quickly.

rb23lb

YES!

good work guys... I will contact whipple as soon as we get 1 more and tell him to post instructions on coordinating sending in our SAMs in this thread or in a group email...
