W203 S-class taillights
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?

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.

Considering W220 LED Tail Lights... Rear Fog Lights
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:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search...LED&category0=
Anything i should know before getting them?

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
