LED rear plate lights for $36 bucks!

Anyone have these on there car yet? Ive never seen them on a w202, I think they make the car look so much newer and cleaner at night.

Just found this on the "other mb" forum, looks really good IMHO:

Yeah but your pre-face lift. The same bulbs don't fit the C43 from what I understand?

Is your W202 pre-facelift like mine (95-97)? and if so, would you mind sharing where you purchased it?

Thanks! That was an issue for me in the beginning too, but I haven't been pulled over since I've put them in *knocks on wood*. I think the LED's on Lexus's look real nice, but they are a bit too subtle for me.
