the above website shows a 2012 w204 LED taillight retrofit, direct install, no coding required, no errors
price is 28000 in NTD which is about 950~USD not including shipping, however, I'm not sure if they ship to US, or even if they still have any left in stock.

There is another seller in Germany selling them as well.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Heckleuchten-...ht_3540wt_1030
He says he will program them for you, I have to assume based on the price that he's selling a SAM unit with the lights? I am going to email him and ask what exactly he means.

Hey guys, somehow I've come up with an idea,
since the rear fog lights can not be turned off, why don't we simply turn on the other side to make it look symmetric? I remember someone in the forum stated that the right one does have LEDs in the slot, they're just disabled by the circuit control.

I thought about that too, but I was told that on some cars, like the european ones, the fog lights stay on all the time so that on small streets that are foggy at night, your car can be seen and avoided. I'm not sure if folks would want it on all the time. Or maybe some people think it's too much clutter?

To be honest, I wouldn't mind shining some extra lights into the eyes of the driver behind me.

Ok, I've visited 3 shops with STAR diagnosis who had no idea how to programm the taillights thorugh the developer's software. I'm really annoyed about the rear foglight.
Someone has to find an easier way to get this done. Anyone?

I'm confused, so when you don't hit the brake, the led strips are on all the time, right? And when you hit the brake, those led strips get brighter??? And the reverse lights are led as well? What portions use regular filament bulbs?
