Convert W205 Rear LED Taillight from USA to EU

Hello everyone,

I'm new here on the MB World Forums, and I want to thank the Admin for this adding.

I have a W205 from 2018 with USA specifications, with the FIN: 55SWF4JB9JU278817.

The issue:

The rear tail light is currently set up for the USA, but I want to change it to the EU version.

Which wiring do I need to change?

How do I code the rear SAM?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have SD C4 , Das , Xentry , DTS Monaco , Vediamo

I see. Hmmm, I am not sure if this process is similar to the W205 but someone with a W212 did this: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post8600626
