spray tint can is about $20-25. be sure to use automotive tint cans, not the tint sprays for the model cars because they fade.
lots of masking is needed. after that it's just spray and wait and spray and wait...till it gets to the darkness you want. They dry darker usually, so don't go all "it's not dark enough and use the whole can".

ad above says it will fit 2002-2005 but 2005 and 2006 tail lights are the same? I got a 2006 and need to know if this will plug in. It's the NON-LED.
someone please let me know I really appreciate it

There are 2 different versions the 00-04 and the 05-07. I think one has a 4 pin connector and one has a 6 pin connector. I know you can mod the 6 pin to fit the 4 pin and vice versa but it would be way easier to ge tthe right ones. I think the 4 pin is for 00-04 and the 6 pin is for 05-07.

Hey Drex, I got an easier way to change the look of the tails!
Just take one of the bulbs out on the lower row and then it shuts that row off and only lights up the triangle leds on the top! Looks like a real S Class now!
Only the error messages are a PITA to always clear off the MFD.

S Class Tail Lights; do they fit?
This may sound stupid, but I saw this everywhere in this blog; s class tail lights.
Are these lights, you are referring to, looking like s class tail lights or are they really s class parts that fit on c class? (do you follow me??)
For instance, would this fit on my w203? (I know the ad clearly states w220)

W220 tail light mod
Does anybody know if the W220 tail lights fit the W203's? If it does what kind of mod would be needed for it to work?

I think I'm going to be doing a switch from the LED lights to the non-LED ones. My question is, do the non-led lights use the stock bulb holder? If not, can someone tell me how it plugs in? My LED ones have been giving me problems....thanks

Non-LED ones don't use the OEM bulb holder. Separate sockets are wired together to the connector, just like the LED's. I never tried matching up the OEM bulb holder to see if it will work, but it's something you could try, I suppose. Just not sure if the bulb placement matches up.

I think I can do without the LED, but the look of the S tails wins over stock for sure
