S-Class W220 tail lights
greengeorgeThe smoked tail lights on C32 look good.
S-class tail lights on a C-class (W203) are dynamic & stylish. Others always said that I bought a new car. This tail lights together with the CL grill improve the image to better.

S tail lights is a given. Those are the LEDs or non. I'm guessing "non" since the top ones don't light up all the time. Give us a hint for the upcoming one.

I thought the NON-LED's light up just like OEM and the LED versions were the only ones that didn't have the functionality of the inner light (with exception to the rear fog)?
Either way, care to share how it was done?

yeah, I do know that... I've been doing it for a looooooooooong time already though. (I used to do it in my w202 as well and it seems to annoy people.)
during the day though, putting up the rear sunshade is the best. that seems to really **** people off (not that I've done it or anything... :p)

the headlamps are fine... the problem is that since one side is new and hasn't really burnt in, the color of one is more greenish-yellow than the other side (which is more bluish). dude, I was sitting on pins and needles the entire day.
I didn't go to BH MB, I just took it to DTLA Motors b/c BH MB was closed on Sat. I forgot who I used to go to in BH MB, the last time I went for a service there was in 1997... If you do find a good advisor let me know.

remember the inner part will seem brighter than the outer part due to the bulb for the inner is closer to the actual cover and the outer bulb sits a little further in.
moving on to exhaust SteveL's asking. It is a Weltmeister exhaust, not the custom made one which I'm not selling.
