agreed on #2, I like it the best. I have #1 and they're great but they throw codes if you don't have p2. annoying. When I bought #1, #2 wasn't out yet either, those are pretty recent.

#2 looks the best (love the dark cherry tint), but #1 has a better LED pattern.

I would like to see a tail light with both the upper and lower red portions with LEDs.

I was thinking about doing this, but I have decided I would much rather wait for the fully LED (and OEM) 2012 taillights to come out and be available here in the U.S. Those look hot! Also, we might see knock-off replicas pop up on eBay of the 2012 version soon and be able to snag them at a much cheaper price point.

I have bought Azn's red LED turn signal and white LED reverse bulbs to hold me over

These are the best ones, especially if you have a black car. I have all options and I dont think these will fit into my car that also has LEDs. the harness doesnt look the same and Im wondering if they give errors or not. I see a little chip hanging in the back so maybe thats a canceller? they look nice tho

theres pics of a dropped black C with that style taillights (insides are black and clear lenses LED) and similar headlights that are black painted on the insides that looks sick. Not really sure if its those ones exactly but that effect, the car looks bad ***. Those are a little honda-ish but as an example an effect. I think I seen those headlights on ebay somewhere. lemme look

sumthin like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...Q5fAccessories

there was a pair on ebay last week that were similar, dont know if they were custom painted, but I saw them before that as well. Anyone know if they produced C's with black inside trim in the headlight assembly? The ads said OEM and were halogens, but thats an example of what it looked like. On a black car it really changed the look of the car tremendously with that black background tails and headlights

I think these would look good if the right color. I wonder if this is a generic kit or made for the w204. The bimmers look good with them..

P2 doesn't have anything to do with it.

My bad man, but killer job correcting me, thanks much.

OK lemme rephrase: May be a problem if your C didn't come with LED tails.

Still no go.

If you weren't a comparative newby here, you would have seen the dozens of posts in the past pointing out that the OE tail lamps with LED turn lights (not tails) are directly interchangeable with the non-LED turn light version without any programming or lamp-out warnings. It's the aftermarket lamps from God-knows-where that sometimes cause the problem.

C180K
failure message

HOW DO I KNOW IF THESE TAIL LIGHTS WILL CAUSE FAILURE MESSAGE ON C180 OR NOT? MY CAR DOESNT CAME WITH ORIGINAL LED TURNING SIGNAL.

about i topic i thing the same, the best one are the first picture but it would be great if the upper part works, on the other hand i have seen the 2012 tail lights and look great! but the price could be 3 times higher and lets see how much time we have to wait until we can get them cheap on Ebay.
