Those are the NON-LED. Make sure they ship outside the U.S., since you're in Belgium.

I was just looking to buy the S-class taillights fro my '04 C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan, but i can't find any. I looked on the ebay and all their are either from 01-03 or 05-06.

Can anyone help me with this? Would the ones that they sell for 01-03 fit on my car too?

CSportAnt

They should fit your car. Only thing different is if you have 05-06 is the connector is 6 pin instead of 5 pin. So your 04 should be just plug and play. There are tons on ebay.

Check with one of the vendors here I'm sure they'll be able to help, I got mines from Performanceproducts4benz when I recieved them they did'nt work so they overnighted a new set no problem and gave me a 1 year war.
Goodluck with your seach .................................................. ..........

Ok, I'm just about ready to throw down on a set of S Series tail lights that are LED. One of my concearns is that I knw on my current stock setup for my 03 c230 sedan, there are rear fog lights. Does anyone know if this will be excluded or may trigger a 'malfunction' on the inst. cluster, once I install the new W220 LED's?

I saw em on Ebay for roughly $120-$160 for a set. I've been on edge about them, but just not exactly sure and I dont want to screw anything up on my car.


this is what im looking at:

This the search I did:

Anything i should know before getting them?

BrabusC230SS

You will not get an error with your rear fogs. Thing with the LED version is alot of people who had them say they tend to burn out pretty quick and you can not replace the leds. Only thing is if you have 05 and up you will need to change the plugs. Hope that helps.

BadAssC230k

thanks. yeah there was a thread that was started early of last week that just died out. was talking about how 'this years' model is much better then last years.

better manuf. better seals, etc.

rlee02135

that was only for the e-class w211 tails. i recommend getting the regular ones.

I purchased a set of this type of (non-led) taillight but came in with 6 pins. My car came with 7 pins which I should have known. I hope it was a shipping error and they can send me the correct taillight for my car.

rlee02135

they only come with 6-pins.
do a search...someone has rewired their 7-pins to work.

Brodie's Benz

Thanks..I hope it works..

BadAssC230k, hate to do this to you, but I'm gonna merge your thread with the w220 taillight thread that had all the information.

BadAssC230k

now totally cool... actually jsut read the entire thread... you guys talk a lot. haha. bout mid-way through page 4 i started seein how people were complaining about the LED's failing or not working. So now I'm thinking about doing NON-LED's and dig up that thread of the shop that sells Amber / Clear LED cluster bulbs..

decisions, decisions

drexappeal

Yup. My suggestion is really to go with the non-LED versions. I have both because the LED versions went bad. It was to the point that only one row worked on the passenger side brake/parking light.

I am, at some point, going to sit down and take the LED versions apart and solder some better LED's to see if it'll work again. I'm also going to re-wire them, as well as my Non-LED's to light up like the 2005 models without losing functionality of the rear fog light.

Brodie's Benz

This taillight issue is more headache than I expected to be. I contacted the seller today and they apologized about it. I really like these lights but I am gonna have to send back tomorrow...

BadAssC230k

sucks. yeah i've been on edge about em for like the last week and a half. thankfully, drex merged the threads and i read all 4 pages. now im gonna get the non-led's and see about getting LED cluster bulbs.

sorry to hear about that though. are they just reissuing you a new set? refund? non-led set?

ctC230K

If only a German or American company would manufacture these damn things!

I mean nothing against China or Taiwan but come on guys, get your ***** together and fix the quality issues!

ctC230K

Hey if you're looking to just installed LED bulbs in the stock housing check out JleviSW. They sell the kits u need.

BadAssC230k

Yeah, I think it was that person who I saw a few months back with demo pics of that product. what is also cool is the direct on/off with no fade with LED, so that'll be cool. But im thinkin of doin front and back.... that wont be cheap. lol.

BadAssC230k

hey drex

did you have the same fitment 'gap issue' when u installed the non-leds?

drexappeal

Um, it was less of a gap than the LED versions, but still a little more of a gap than the OEM. Either way, it's not something that is very noticable to people, it's just that I'm kinda **** about little things like that. And there's no way for water to get in because of how the light taillight housing sits.

A lot of people don't realize, but on the rear impact strip, some bonehead at a body shop I went to (once and only once) decided it would be a good idea to cover up a scratch by using black touch up paint! Didn't realize till much later, but if a person were to look at my car, they wouldn't really be able to see it right away.

ctC230K

drex- you have non-led s-class tails? where did you buy these and do you have pics? your links to your mods and pictures aren't working.

drexappeal

Yup. Non-LED versions now, cuz the LED's went bad. Still planning on fixing them though.

They aren't? Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix them ASAP.
