Jim, Jim, Jim.......You believe this without it showing a pic of an actual W203 taillight. I wonder what the onboard computer would have to say in regards to load/current? Is it equpped with a resistor? Does it draw enough on its own? Is it a EURO replica without the place of the rear sidemarker bulb? Etc., etc., etc., ..........

I DON'T KNOW, which is why I asked if anyone had seen them before. The shape seems similar to ours.

Shape and similarity..........Isn't the C-class called/considered the Baby S. Here on this forum as well as others, including early references by the press.

Maybe email the winner of the auction to ask for any fitment issues and pics after installed?

I would love to have LED tails, but not the S-Class type of tail... I like the way the tails look on the C-Class more than the S. But, this sellers items look pretty shady, like the bootleg projectors. I dunno.

If they could do something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW (not all clear b/c all clear looks too ricey) for the w203, then I'd probably be all over it.

I saw those awhile ago and I dont see the problem in just smoking the clears and or spraying the tails a semi see-through candy paint. That way you get your LED's w/o the 'jdm' influence

Check the classifieds! LED group buy. Same look as these. I'm e-mailing the guy on eBay to see how much he'll sell them for.

Yes they are. I've also discovered the guy that sold the set on eBay wants $270/shipped for a pair shipped (w/ 7 day warranty) from Taiwan. I'm anxious to see the quality of these up close! They look good from the pix! They give the rear end a "CL" look

Hey! It'll match my made in Taiwan (I'm guessing) CL grille

So are you gonna buy from him Jim, or still thinking about it? I love the styling of those tails, and the pics I've seen of them installed on C's look great. It's a shame the mods closed MJ's group buy thread. I could see if any sponsors offered the same product or MJ was selling them as a business, but he's just an enthusiast trying to organize a purchase that the sponsors can't supply.

Noone does...$270+ is alot of money. Especially sucks when everyone else is sitting around waiting for someone to step up and fork over that money to see if it bombs or not. Sad but true

Actually, Carlab just ordered a bunch of sets and they should be in today (hopefully), so we're going to check the quality and test fit as soon as they arrive. It was much easier for a company to organize and buy in bulk. I'll keep you updated Enri.

yeah, i'm out from organizing it and CarLab took over...
i'm glad cuz my contact cannot accept foreign credit cards (ie. US), so i had to ask my friend to use his credit card to place an order and then mail him a check. with all the currency exchange and all, it's a lot of work... i'm so relieved!

Yeah, I agree. I already asked MJ and CarLab to look into it with the suppliers. Are you on MBKlasse? There's a GB for these going on over there I believe.
