Is there anyone who can program face lift rear led tail lights to work on a 2010??

I really want to switch mine out.

get the ones off of e-bay from either depo or ipexmotoring, they're plug and play with no need for SAM reprogramming. i ordered the latter, installed myself and haven't had any issues.

here's an older picture of my car for reference:

Depo's are much better if you're going for OEM look. The LED turns are amber and they offer them in both smoked and clear.

just going to add my two cents that ipexmotoring also has them in smoked/clear with red/amber turn signals. you can't really go wrong with either supplier.

i believe benzworks in huntington beach can program oem. one of the very few shops that can...

If I remember correctly, only 08 & 09 can be programmed with the facelift rear lights. MY10 & MY11 couldn't be programmed.

I recall a 2011 C300 owner managed to get his facelift SAM coded. So it is possible.

I got mine from ipexmotoring and one of them didn't work. The seller was amazing to deal with though refunded everything including return shipping. I was contemplating ordering another one when another friend had the same issue with his one light not working either. I just chalked it up to low quality or whatever and decided not to order them again. I do think about it every now and then as I really did like the look. What are my alternatives? Any links?

On my 09 sedan I bought OEM taillights + used facelift rear SAM ( so already programmed) and did the swap. It worked like a charm. Aftermarket solutions didn't look reliable for me.

so just buy a 2012+ rear SAM and plug it in will work plug and play?

Yep. You find a rear SAM from a facelift car (doesn't have to be C63 but preferably), install and you are good to go! Now if the SAM comes from a less optioned car you might loose some functionality like heated seats or rear power sunshade. If you have access to star developer you could just code them back.
Or you buy a brand new SAM get it coded in a facelift car and then install it in your car. That option is the less economical.

good info. would u happen to have a PN for it. i tired looking on parts.com but no luck.

This is the part number for the SAM I bought a year ago : A204 900 55 01
You might not find it since it is a part number for european model. Bought mine off ebay!
Let me see if I can find the US part number.

Ty. will try with that.
