UPDATING MY LOOK A BIT !

well , i decided to update my taillights to the facelift euro lights with the yellow blinker . i received the lights this past Saturday , which happened to be purchased and shipped very quickly by MBenzNL . the next step was to get the SAM recoded . i got in contact with whipplem , who was recommended by multiple people on here . i have to say that he is an excellent guy to work with and made things painless . i overnighted the SAM on Monday . he received the unit this morning around 9:30am and had it done and returned to the store for shipping by 11:30 . that's some quick service i will be picking it up from UPS tomorrow morning so i can have a fresh new look .

Very Nice! I love those tailights.

I'm updating my look right now as well. Blacked out my grill, led DRL surround, all emblems, that chrome strip on the trunk, and I'm actually doing the window trims tonight and tomorrow. Added a CF spoiler last week and last little quick mod will be changing the interior lights to white LED. Just small cheap mods that make the car look better!

Good choice - the 2012 taillights look much better
Is it legal in the US to run Euro-blinkers?

I did the same thing with Whipple. Super nice guy.

So your tail lights have yellow blinkers? My facelift ones are red.

Why blinkers are red in the US? I think it's silly. Can hardly see them, specially on American cars....

And front side markers for some reason are amber/orange. For my Audi, its a $900 mod to get euro headlights to get rid of the amber

red or yellow is legal but i think the yellow looks better and there will be a lot less of them running around

Ah, didn't realize that was an option. I like the all red look, but I will admit that the yellow blinkers are MUCH more visible, as far as all car tail lights go.
