Where did you get the tail lights? I would love to grab a set of these. Hard to find a used set for fairly decent money.

Not a wagon, and no the car is in the US. Do they fit the 2011 with no issue? I haven't researched any of this, just love the LED.

You have to move a few pins and program the rear sam for all LED.

This is definitely a cool project, but it has me scratching my head at the idea of spending all that money on a 2012. I guess if you got the car for cheap it's ok, but that's a lot of dough to put into a 12' non AMG.

If you did a write up of how to convert the tails... I wouldn't be mad..

Very cool build, gotta admire the dedication.

Looks like the same wood style as in my E250, it is pretty unusual here too:
