2005 C-Class, LED Tailights?

Will all 2005 C-Class models have LED's tailights or only the C55 model?

Thanks in advance.

37435- It's not just a number, you know. It's a patent number. And not just any patent number (Lord knows there are too many of those tossed around by auto makers in their efforts to convince you, the prospective buyer, that they are on the true frontier of innovation.) No, patent # 37435 isn't for the first self-retracting cupholder, or the first ceramic-lined valve seat. It's the patent for the first car. And that car was a Benz. You probably didn't know that. You may not care. But we think about it everyday. About being first. About out-thinking, out-imagining everybody else. Because that's how we started. And that's how we succeed. This is a book about why you might want to own a Mercedes, and what the experience of owning one might be like. Think of it like a first date. You never know what may happen. But if sparks fly, who knows?

I have just seen the new spec c class, all I can say is brilliant. Wait for it. It looks much more upmarket, the interior and dash look like the e class. A great feature is a dialing pad on the dash to make calls. Its worth waiting for this one.

Many of the Coupes at MBKlasse are installing the 2005 tail lights (over 50 sets thanks to Steve te Euro pimp) and NONE have LEDs.
