Sorry, I just can't help but at the images that this statement conjure up in my head. Haha. You kill me....


Que? From whom are you hearing these preposterous rumors about me? Geez....I would never spend another buck on anything car-related ever again.

Guys, im in London, UK - i would *love* to install the new tail lights. The garage where I get my work done are very good generally but they told me the same thing about the coding issue etc. How can I get these lights installed?? What should I do? Any help appreciated

@nrgy,

How much did you buy for pair of 2012 new taillights? Thanks

mrwolf

.....? Any advice?

whipplem104

nrgy installed these lights him self and there were no warnings when he did it. Just the lights were not lit the way he wanted. You have to have star in developer mode to change the coding though.

Hi Man, would you mind to share how did you get it works? I have to say that was a great job, I have DAS developer, and I use it from time to time, some hints would be good enough, thanks in advance! :-)

Guys I just retrofitted these 2012 tail lights onto my 2009 C63, they are plug and play so you DON'T get any fault lights or messages. As said, the only thing you need to do is reprogram the 4 rear fog lights to be off. I still didn't reprogram them but with all honesty they don't look bad with the fogs on, trust me, you will never regret it even if you don't end up programming the fogs!!

I live in the Kingdom of Bahrain and I got them both for 250 Dinars, which is about $660. Prices might be higher here, but I hope this info helps.

I'm so tempted to do this mod!

Does anyone know how to get STAR into developer mode? I've inquired at a few workshops and they dont understand what I'm talking about, else can anyone advise a good MB workshop in Australia that can do this?

jafores

Got them here in the Philippines for about 700USD any info or help on steps to follow on Star with Dev. mode would be much appreciated.

well i got them fited yesterday and i dunno even how they use to work but i think they look really nice ...

Now you need to figure out how to cancel your rear fog light. The one on the driver's side that is too bright.

Whipplem104, can you please explain how to do it with the developer's software? If you can explain it as detail as possible, that be great. So this way when we go to someone with the developers software, we can approach them and tell them how it can be done!

dockt

Forgive me if I missed this detail, but if we (with US C63s) wait for the US version of these taillights to become available at the dealer (I'm assuming very soon), will we need to worry about these coding issues, since we don't run rear fogs?

JeffDL

my car has rear fogs. actually a rear fog.

mrwolf

Any advice on the coding issue would be great

benzo-boi

Can't we just unplug the rear fog light from the sockets so it won't light up?

JeffDL

That will throw errors.

benzo-boi

sorry, I mean to take the whole socket out of the actual light assembly. So the bulb will still be intact.

JeffDL

would probably work? I'm going to try various options when we can get US ones.

Anyone have the U.S. part # yet?

dockt

Guys, I am in Virginia and just got a set of the NA 2012 LED taillightsfrom a local dealer. Part #s: 204-820-28-64 and 204-820-41-64.

I will pick up tomorrow and install and see if the results are any different than that described above.

JeffDL

thanks for the p/n's $252 each on getmercedesparts I'm guessing results will be the same but blinkers will be red instead of amber.
