'04 C320 S4 Wagon
Does anyone sell just the OEM tail light lens?

:sigh: On day 2 of ownership, I've managed to break a tail light lens on the wagon ('02 C320 4M). Through the wonders of search, I've found numerous places that sell the full assembly for ~$180. The only lenses I can find are aftermarket, but I really don't want to go that direction.

I'm not opposed to used.

Suggestions?

1999 E320 4matic Wagon, 2005 C55 AMG - sold, 1998 VW Jetta TDI - sold, 2006 C230 Sport - Totaled :(
don't take me as 100% but i'm almost positive that it only comes as a whole assembly unless you special ordered it directly from MB and then it would prob be about as expensive, sorry

Yeah, that's what I figured. From a manufacturer's perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense to sell the lenses by themselves, but I was hoping beyond hope.

Off to the store to grab some of the ghetto-fabulous tail light tape to keep the rain out this weekend.

Oh damn it's a wagon, they don't use the same tails as the Sedan?

Yes, the wagon tails are different part numbers...that makes them not only expensive, but kinda rare as well. RMEuropean has a couple in stock (drivers side) for $173. I've asked for a quote from a couple of dealerships that were recommended in other threads to see how they compare.
