Nice, are the signal lights in orange or red? Can't really tell from the pics.

Are you coming from a non P2 car?

SCguy08

Niti, they were $305 shipped. Royce, the signals are red. Your right, it is hard to tell from the pics. Yup Robbio, non p2.

They look great! Nice alternative for the nonP2 cars. But I would have liked it more if the center part was all white instead of having that little red block on the inside. Oh well. At least it blends in Still looks great.

SCguy08

Thanks, SnarlingChicken.

Royce118

Oh no. Can't have red signals here in my place. It's supposed to be orange =(

snarlingchicken

Try these out Royce. They're amber. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-10...ht_5232wt_1165

They look great. How do they look in Reverse?

Royce118

Thanks. Think I've seen them before but I'm not a big fan of the design. Oh well guess I just gotta wait for more options to come out.

SCguy08

Robbio, reverse looks just as good, and bright as stock. Uses the stock reverse, and upper bulbs.

What is a non P2 car?

Sportstick

The cars came as base, P1, or P2, and these are just different levels of content of options bundled together. P1 has less, and in this case, specifically, the issue is that the P1 taillamps are conventional, and not LED, as they are in P2. The concern is that if one adds LED taillamps to a C300 not originally containing them, the electrical system won't recognize them and issue error codes in the instrument cluster.

I had no idea the c class came with led tail lights. Need to look for a set on ebay now. Thanks

C class does not come with LED "tails" on P2 cars, it just has LED turn signals. the brake likes are regular

Sportstick

I meant that LEDs were part of the taillamp assembly as wired originally. The brake and backup lights in the same taillamp are not LED, to my knowledge.

SCguy08

I know Normandie has the exact same tail lights on his c300 and DID get error messages on the dash. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't.

joshg1001

I have P2 but am still looking for LED tail lights...I wonder why they didnt make the top rear light LEDs too

SCguy08

No idea, I've seen a few on ebay that have the top LED and not the bottom. I'm actually glad that just the bottom of mine are LED. You wouldn't be disappointed with these JoshG. Granted, I've only had them on for two days...but I still love um. haha.

ldtCapitan

Remember when we brake only the bottom part shows which is probably why they did that

imboom

Safety reasons since our signal rear lights are red too. They had to be brighter than the brake lights just in case there is someone incompetent in driving behind you.

If I remember correctly, there are w204's out there with yellow signals too.

imboom

Oh and my concern with those lights are the lack of vents on it. Do you folks remember why?

Air from the rear wheels exit from the wheel-well to the vents in the rear brake lights, supposedly keeping them clean(lol really) and gave the car a drag coefficient of .29

SCguy08

Imboom, the tail's have the exact same vents on them as the stock ones do. So no prob there.

Illusive

Was everything plug and play or did you need to do some wire splicing?
