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.

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.

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

Another round of ICE
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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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