So getting the SAM reprogramed does more than just fix the foglight issue?Before a SAM reprogram you have the left fog light on all the time and the bottom brake lights half on? I didn't know that I thought the only problem was the fog, but hey I'm always learning.

acr2001

Yes, without reprogramming the SAM the fog is stuck on and the brake lights are lit up (but more dimly according to Dellmon, which does make sense).

The photos Caligreenzzz posted are indeed the way these vehicles are supposed to look, and this is how they look from the factory - EU or US. I'd take a photo of mine, but Caligreenzzz has posted more than enough fully accurate photos.

I think this thread is pretty much settled.

Okay good to know. I think Dellmon's findings are still very useful because as of now they are the only option for 2010 and 2011 cars to get their fogs off without error messages. The $100 does seem worth it though because caligreenzzz car looks very nice.

you proved ur point caligreenz, and thanks dellmon for the guide, its a great temporary fix to the problem i would say,

on a side note is it possible to get the c63 rear bumper on the 09 sport c300?

amaha23

ok how much are the led taillights n when you guys say reprogram the SAM who can do that cuz i noe a benz tech in nyc can he do it with a benz computer?

We can all get along

I can believe that nobody is available to reprogram the SAM in the LA area.

Forget LA, I am in Canada
I wish Wipple would tell me how to do it local, I have access to Star Diag and Xentry
I'll pay $200 if he would give me coding instructions

caligreenzzz

just overnite it, at the max you would be without a car for 3 days...

Can anyone PM me whipple's contact information? I sent him a PM but he hasn't replied yet. I have 2 09 C300's and I am ready to send him both the SAMs.

Thanks.

I've also emailed him and pm'd him, and no response yet. I'm in SoCal, hopefully we can find someone to do this for us locally.

Agreed. To be clear, please nobody be mislead by trying Op's way of fixing the lights to work factory.

The bottom tail bulbs are still partially lit. This is not OEM spec. These should be off completely and you should only have the 2 LED bars running.

I would be pissed if I tried this after reading the first post and then realized it wasn't correct still.

rb23lb

Oh, and Caligreenzzz, whipple said you still owe him $50 bucks because we did not meet the 10 person requirement.

Please send your extra $50 in and honor his prices.

caligreenzzz

uhhh really??? mind your own......

FactoryRaceCar

Caligreenzzz could you help me with his contact information since you have done business with him? I have two sets here ready to go but not sure how to approach him.

Thanks

The 2010 c300s w/ prem pack II come w/ LED tails, my 10' c300 sport doesnt have them, could I order the 2010LED tails for less or is the 2012 LEDtails my only option?

Hoping to avoid errors

RVC

My 2011 C300 does not have LED's either...but I think you could get it with the lighting option to include bi-xenon's and rear LED's. Can't I just swap out mh regular 2011 lights with 2011 led lights? Thanks.

RLE

Yes, but not the 2012 lights.

See my post in re: selling my Euro (yellow LED turns) tail lights fitting 2008-2011 models.

$300 including Fedex ground shipping in the US.

Sheby786

Hi there, i am new to this, i have just bought the new led style lights for my w204, it is a 2009 plate uk car, could you please explain to me in dummy terms what you had done to your sam, example what program? Just so i can tell my technician what is requires to be done.

Thank you in advance

jmar

Has anyone yet to discover a way to properly program the SAM for a 2010^ ?

HenryJr
