Lightbulb C63 Tails on C300? (Pre Facelift)

I've done some searching but can't seem to find the answer.

Has anyone installed a set of OEM c63 tail lights on a regular w204?

Will they fit and if so, will they give you an error message?

If it’s also a pre-face lift as well I don’t see why it should be an issue.

He may be referring to the pre-facelift OEM LED tail lights that came with the lighting package, since C63's commonly came with the lighting package. That's just my guess.

@jonbrett88 C300's and C63's have the same tail lights, but if you're going from a pre-facelift non-LED tail light to an OEM pre-facelift LED tail light, you'll need to have them programmed to function properly. There are aftermarket LED versions (i.e. DEPO, a reputable aftermarket lighting solution company) of both the pre-facelift and facelift LED tail lights that should be plug and play and are replica's of OEM models and not require programming.

good info! Didn’t know pre-face lift had 2 options since I believe facelift cars came standard with it.

Thanks for the info. You seem to have hit the nail on the head. That answers my question. I was asking because someone on the forum is selling the PFL OEM LEDs cheap from his c63 and if they did not throw an error message, it would have been a cheaper (and OEM) alternative to getting the DEPO ones. Unfortunately I guess I'll just have to get the DEPO ones though.

I own a pre-facelift w204 and purchased facelift led lights from DMP Car Design, was planning to do upgrade later but found out they built a limited-run dynamic turn signal version w/ decoder box for pre-facelift vehicles.

They are a bit pricey tho: DMP Facelift LED Tail Lights
