LED Rear lights BUT not oem?
Hey
Im considering getting the new 2012 Led rear lights for my C63 2009 BUT there aint anyone in Sweden that can do the SAM coding and dont want the fog lights to be on all the time.
So......
I found these that was supposed to work without any coding

Has anyone here tryed them?
I know! Its not correct to put not oem lights on a car like this but they seem identical to the oem BUT working as they are supposed to.
Anyone?

I believe people in the non-AMG W204 forum had bought them and they worked. I think one guy had an issue with one of the lights eventually not working, but he was able to get it replaced for free...not 100% sure though.

I got them and must say that Im quite impressed with them.
For the money spent they are just fine.
Not perfect but at least 95% :-)
Only thing that distrubs me a little bit is that they have a buzzing sound. Not something you can hear from the outside or inside the car but when you open the trunk you can hear it. Not a big thing but.....
Fitment was ok, Have no idea about the quality in the long run but I guess we will see :-)

Careful with aftermarket parts. Buzzing sound would be an electrical problem. Probably too much power to the lights. Maybe their leds are low volt/amp requirement? I wouldn't want your car catching on fire.
