Correct '05 coupe taillights?

I wanted to make sure I am ordering the correct taillights on parts.com. When I add them to the cart the part numbers are 2038203764 (left) and 2038203864 (right). The diagram looks like it is the coupe lights, but I just wanted to make sure I don't receive sedan lights. Although I haven't priced shipping, $110 each seems very reasonable.

Link to parts.com taillights.

Find me a VIN from a 2005 coupe and I'll tell you for sure.
Yes, these look like coupe pn's but not sure if they are actually the new style.
That seems way too inexpensive.

Parts.com needed a VIN number as well, but I wasn't able to obtain one. I will keep looking, and if I find one I will post back here.

Confirmed,... correct part number for rear tail lights on 2005+ COUPE

BTW, I paid $159.16CAN for each of mine,... and that's after 20% discount for Loyalty Circle Members at my local MB dealership (regular $198.95CAN)

2005+ Post-Facelift COUPE
A203-820-37-64 TailLight Assembly (Driver-Left)
A203-820-38-64 TailLight Assembly (Passenger-Right)

BTW,.... you guys really need to learn to SEARCH!

Thank you SunnyRayToronto for the confirmation!

I do need to learn to STFF. I did quite a bit bit of searching and read through the MY05 facelift thread on the sticky, but saw slightly different part numbers.

B6 659 0085
A203 820 25 64
A203 820 26 64

I also followed tons of links to sites that are no longer active.

That is why I posted a new thread. According to the Must Read sticky, I now know that rather than posting new threads I should piggy back on the older ones which is what I will be doing in the future. Thank you again for your help!

Just remember that his name is sunny, it is not his disposition.

You could have also gone to searchmercedes.com and found a later c coupe's VIN. Like this one: Click Me!!

Wow, that's a part that went down in price drastically.
They were well over $200 each not too long ago,
people were buying off ebay.de.

Post pics and the final actual price with shipping when you get them.
parts.com doesn't guarantee the price btw.
You may have your order cancelled, and or they may just decide to charge you more.

That being said, I did a large order with them once, and it all came out OK, but came from
3 different dealerships, and one increased the price of one part without my authorization by 10 bucks. I'm not really sure how much they can increase it without approval.

Read the fine print with them. They only broker deals, and don't actually sell parts.
So possibly there's a dealer with several sets of those on their hands that want to clear them out.

Tommy, thats a really nice C320 coupe you found there...

I'm pleased to say that the tails came in with the original price. I also ordered a speaker cover for the door, but the combined shipping was $36.18. Each taillight was $109.20. Great addition to the ride, so happy to get rid of the pink tails!
