Red/Clear aftermarket 2012 tail lights

bought these for $235 directly from spec-d...I'm too cheap to buy the OEM ones... Anyway it's just plug and play with my C63 with lightning package... everything works fine.

So cutting some wires will help hinder the buzzing noise? Are you saying that all the other people didn't read the manual??? Lol

Do you still have to cut the green wire? Or have they fixed this problem?

I installed these aftermarket lights tonight. I must say they do not fit as nice as the oem\s and they do rub the paint a bit. As the car body panels move slightly, they paint will wear. I have had this happen on previous cars. I also didn't like the buzzing even after I cut the green/yellow wire. Just seemed like a mess of wires back there also.

Thanks,

a.

Hello

I just got these lights for my C63 2009 and of cause I got the buzzing sound but as well the message in the dash saying tail/brake light are broken! :-(

Did yours work strait away? Or did you need to do any modification?

The seller told me that they would work and they would modify them so I wouldnt get any mess. But that wouldnt work :-(. So to say the least Im so dissapointed with them right now. Sent the messages but havent heard anything in 8 hours.

Heeeelp!

They promissed that they would work on my C63. They even have that in their ad on Ebay! But I just think its some kind of modification they forgot to do.

Will be intressting to see if they will come through and get this fixed or if Im just ripped of

They aint exactly fast to answer on the emails.

You can cut the green/yellow wire on both lights and it will shut off some of the buzzing. I accidentally cut the green/yellow wire in 2 places on both lights and I screwed them up. So I have to use a couple connectors to connect that wire back up. Works fine now. not sure how well these lights will hold up in the long run.
