W204 2012 Taillight Retrofit Programming

Does anyone have access or know anyone that has access to an aftermarket version of Star Diagnostics with developer mode keys in the Greater Los Angeles area?

Member, Whipplem104 is willing to help with the programming of the error of the retro-fitment of the 2012 LED Taillights, if someone has one.
