2009 model has the RED LED for signal light??

I know our 2008 with P2 package have the AMBER LED signal light for the tail light and .....

I just saw a 2009 model with their NEW LED, which is the RED color, not Amber any more....

My question is:
  • What about the signal lights color for the side mirrors?
  • AMBER color or NEW RED color?

For those who wants to upgrade their tail light to the LED one, now you will have two color choice: AMBER OR RED.

i know what OP is saying. the signal lights in the back used to be a light colored red/orange color. if what hes saying is true, then it will look like a bmw 5 series LED signal lights.

side mirrors should still be yellow

I have a 2008 with P2, and my signal is RED LED. Please check your facts straight before posting.

As many have stated here, C-Class sold in the US for MY 2008 that have P2 have a RED LED rear turn signal light. The P1 cars have a standard amber regular bulb.

2009 CLS-Class all have Red LED rear tail turn signals that are shapped like arrows.

It looks like in Europe these LED lights are amber as I have seen pics/video of Euro models that have amber lights. I like the amber better, there should be a contrast between the brake/running lights and the turn signal imo.

What color?

Despite countless posts saying they are RED. Just like every other P2 model on the planet. Which includes mine, BTW.

But not yours............

In Europe every turn signal light is amber, it's not alowed to have red turn signal lights here in Europe.

Is is just possible you don't have LED tails? Maybe they made a mistake and put standard tails in your car?

I checked my P2 last night. Front and mirror signals are amber, tails are red. They are LEDs.
