W204
There is a forum member in the w204/C63 forums that I have contacted to do a Group Buy for the reprogramming of the w204 2008-2009 SAM Module that controls the rear tail light functions, so that they will then work 100% OEM style with no errors and all bulbs functioning like they are supposed to from the factory. This is a great opportunity to upgrade to the new 2012 style lights and have them fully functioning by saving up to 50% of the normal reprogramming price.
Normal SAM Reprogram Price: $200
5 Person Group Buy Price: $150
10 Person Group Buy Price: $100
I know I have seen a few people in here buy the 2012 tail lights recently and some have left them installed with the drivers side rear fog light on 100% of the time and the drivers break light partially on, which looks pretty sloppy and doesn't function correctly...
2012 PART #s to order from www.Parts.com:
Left Tail: 204 820 41 64 ≈ $200
Right Tail: 204 820 28 64 ≈ $200
Shipping: ≈ $60
Left = before reprogramming (Not lit up properly having break light always on and driver side rear fog always On)
Right = after reprogramming (100% factory)
Here is the main thread for the retrofit:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...rofit-diy.html
So if anybody is down, please add your name below and when we hopefully get 5 or 10 people, I will contact him and him know we have enough and we can coordinate a date to start shipping our SAM modules to him:
1.rb23lb

I have been in contact with Whipplem104 and he has confirmed my thinking in that the SAM from W204Man looks like it is a 2010+ SAM, so if someone wants to send me their SAM that is out of a 2008-2009, I will program their SAM to work with the new tail lights and then once confirmed I will let others know and I will program anyone's 08-09 SAM for a small fee.
Anyone else in the Dallas/Fort Worth area able to program the SAM module for the tail light retrofit?

No one on here has ever done this retro successfully on a 10^. That doesn't mean it can't be done, just means the one or two people on here programming these SAMs doesn't know how too. If the 08/09's can be done, there's no way in hell a 10/11 can't be. As I said, just these dudes can't do it.

I am getting a 11' in 2 weeks and wanted to know if this was possible. Anyone with updates?

Because when most people are busy with their lives and being constructive, there are always people that do not have their own life and become trolls online. I feel sorry for the overweight douche bags that have the internet and video games as their best friend with the local pizza place as the only phone number in their phone... I could be wrong though but I'm going with this.

Hello! I live in Sweden and just installed the new taillights on my 350. Is it still possible to get my SAM reprogrammed? I'm interested and don't really care if I'm the only one ordering.

Hello everybody. To make the led taillights work on 08 09 all that is needed is coding. There is no reprogramming needed. If you know someone with a SDS clone that has a DAS developer mode, this can be done in 5 minutes. You have to access the rear SAM through developer mode and change a few settings for lighting. If you can find someone in your area that has the DAS developer mode, let me know and i will give you the files needed to change the settings. I am Houston Texas and anybody that wants this done contact me. No need to remove the SAM. As far as the 10 11 the option to change those settings is not present. So......

You have the part no.'s correct but you listed them for the opposite tail lights.
They should be:
Right Tail: 204 820 41 64
Left Tail: 204 820 28 64
