Someone please post part numbers for C32 tail and C55 taillight

C32 and C55 have the same tails? All W203 tails are same and will work on C55?

If someone knows the answer, please let me know ! Thanks

that would be false.

2001-2004 tail lights are the same. 2005-2007 tail lights are the same. C32 = former C55 = latter.

The plugs are also different. So if you're planning to switch to either or, you're going to need to splice some wires. I did it on my C32

No. They look like the same ones...i told this guy i would sell him my old tails for 150....the dealership told me it was close to 200 for each light. I just bought my LED tail lights and i love them, got them off of ebay for about 250 shipped. I would go with those, the guy said he has them for the c32 in stock. My advice. Suck it up and buy the LED's. They look so much better.

Ehh I dont like the looks of S-class tail... I saw few OEM style LED tails but they are all for C32s and sellers are not sure if they will fit on C55.. Thats why I asked this question.

Thanks

the OEM style with LED brake lights work for all. they use your stock bulb holder. The cut out for the running light/fog light has two position. one for the older bulb holder and one for the new. and a plug designed to go into the turn signal socket with bulit in resistors.
