Installed S - Class Style Smoked Tail Lights On My W202 C43, Tell What You Guys Think
What's up everyone, I decided to try something new. I just put on some new tail lights on my c43. Here are some day and night shots. I honestly think it kind of takes the old school look out of the car. But I think I'll get used to it.

old skool taillights is classier for your lady.
new ones are they aftermarket?
in close up pictures, your trunk diagonal line looks like it's not lined up with your taillight edges, however i might be wrong pictures do lie.

Yah they are aftermarket. Haha you noticed that too. The left driver side is not quite aligned with the trunk. I tried my best. I think the Manufacturer didn't do a great job on designing the lights to fit perfectly. I would take it out and try to re aligne it but it was a pain in the *** to put them on.

I'd have to vouch for this and say that these ones (with the smoked reverse/turn signals) are probably the best looking aftermarket tail lights for the w202.
But then again, I am probably biased, considering that I had them on my c43 too

Those are definitely the ones importfan21 has on his. I think they are also the same as LawRens, but his have led cluster bulbs in the clear section, also the color is different but that might just be a photo lens.

why not replace all bulbs to LED Canbus Error bulbs,,
it's one of good idea to avoid damaging bulb brackets during heat...

I agree about just replacing the bulbs to error free LED. Not to hijack the thread, but just noticed that my passenger rear fog light is out. Replacing the bulb didn't help and no other bulbs are out. I'm running out to buy a new multi-meter since I can't find mine, but any suggestions?
