JNew to MB...Just want to say hi

Hi everyone. I just picked up a 2008 C300 4matic yesterday and i love it. My previous car was a 2004 nissan altima so kind of a big step for me

Anyways, does anyone know of a website that sells the official led taillights for less then the dealer price?

Thanks

Welcome and enjoy! Some of us just replaced all the incandescent bulbs with a package of LED bulbs made specifically for our cars by a forum sponsor, aznoptics.com.

I've read that OEM LED taillights do not work on cars without P2 or, if 2011, lighting package, because the wiring is different.
Next best would definitely be AZN_Optics' LED taillight package as Sportstick recommended.

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks for the welcome guys! I just have a few questions about the car because I am still very new to it...
1. How do you turn your brights on?
2. What is the point of the bright red taillight on the driver side?
3. Can I set the mirrors to turn in automatically when I turn the car off?
4. Is the passenger side view mirror not suppose to be auto dimmed?
5. Once I'm in "sport mode" how do i get back into drive?
Thanks in advance
Oh, I figure I show some bone stock pics lol

1. High beams? Pull or push your lever that activates the turn signal.
2. That would be the rear fog light. In the US, it only requires to have one on the driver side.
3. You can have the mirrors automatically turn in when you lock the doors with your key. That option has to be enable on your dash in settings.
4. I don't know.
5. Sport mode as in Manual mode? If so, just hold the shifter to the right until it turns back in to D on your dash.
6. Your pics do not work lol

Lol welcome to mbworld. Not to sound mean or bashing... does your car comes with a manual? everything you asked are pretty much well explained in the manual. While you are waiting for the answer, maybe you can have a glance in the manual? If you dont have the manual, forgive me for my comments! Enjoy your new ride man!
