Question Ordering European Factory OEM LED tail lamps?

I want to order a pair of euro spec OEM LED tail lamps (because they blink AMBER not RED!) for my 2009 C350 that is on its way... Where can I order original Mercedes-Benz "EUROPEAN" parts from? I went to the dealer and they told me its impossible for any U.S. dealer to order euro spec parts.

Keep in mind, red LEDs are brighter than orange ones, so yu may want to keep it red.

The level of brightness is the same, it is the perception that one color is brighter than the other.

As for ordering the Euro-spec parts, try seeing if a UK dealer can help you out or make a trip across the pond.

Coming from the VW/Audi side, there are numerous US aftermarket distributors for OEM+ parts from across the pond. My Jetta is testament to OEM+ ... the only things US on the car are the body panels

Are there any US MB aftermarket vendors for parts like this? I would like to pursue this path for the newest member of the family - C350 Sport.

Looking for:
Euro Bumpers
Tail Lights
Exterior/Interior Trim Pieces
Disabled/Missing Electronic Features

Short of going across the pond or having my cousin in Austria source parts for me (W204 C200), I'm drawing blanks.
