Hello,

Does anyone know the OEM part numbers or does anyone know where I could find the part numbers to the Left side and Right side European version of the 2012 LED facelift tail lights?(The lights with the orange LED blinker)

Thank you.

*Sorry for the same thread here as in the Non-AMG forum, it seems as if they have no idea since I never got a reply.*

They have these on ebay, i just picked up a pair for my car. I went with the red smoke tails instead of the clear red OE look. They also have the orange signals as well.

Thank you so much for the reply (since nobody else did) I really appreciate it. Anyways I will be ordering the OEM facelift Euro tail lights soon from MBenzNL.com. I just need someone to code my rear SAM unit to turn the fog lights off.


Anyone live in South Florida who could code this?

Thanks.

I would save a ton and and go with these my friend...no coding required, just plug and play. Entirely up to you, but for the price you can't go wrong. For the coding, i really don't know, that's why i stayed away from changing them for so long. Try a search on these forums for coding, you might have some luck

When it comes to electrical or lights, I would rather go OEM than to aftermarket. On my BMW, I went with aftermarket DEPO tail lights, and had to replace them after a month, since they broke apart and the red lining of the reflection fell loose.

Thanks about the coding part, I will indeed browse around and hopefully find someone to do it. I heard some guy named Whipple could do it, but he isn't available at this time. Hopefully some guy who can code these lights will respond. I will indeed pay money for the coding to be done perfectly.

Good luck bro

Okay, So I have two options:

A.) Reprogramming my current 2011 rear SAM unit with the 2012 LED coding, so that I could have the fog lamps off.(Requires my SAM unit to be coded inside a 2012 "facelift" w204)

B.) Buy a 2012 programmed rear SAM unit so that the LED tail lights work without the fog lamps being on.


Would you, or anyone on here know the part number to the 2012 rear SAM? If not, links to the 2012 Rear SAM will be appreciated.(Used SAM unit would be better since I would not have to program it)

Are you sure that is the part number? I looked it up on parts.com and it unfortunately says "Not found."

abcut973

That part number is for european models.
The US part number is: A204 900 55 01

Alright, thank you.

It's not just the fog light, it's also the brake lights

When the Fog Lamps get coded off, the brake lights return to normal I believe, because when the rear fog lamps are on, the brake lights dim.

I confirm. Getting the rear SAM coded or using a pre-programed facelift rear SAM will fix the lighting issue.

I'm interested in doing this but haven't followed the history of this mod. Where can the pre-programmed SAM be purchased?

Well luck is a good part of it. You need to find a rear SAM coming from a slavage/accidented car or keep looking in ebay for one for sale.

I emailed mbenznl.com about ordering the 2012 Facelift LED Tail lights and they were very nice and got back with me quickly about pricing and all. Then I explained to them that in order for these tail lights to work, I need a 2012 programmed Rear SAM. This is my only setback. Once again, they got back with me fast and said they will see what they can do regarding the rear SAM, so hopefully I may be in luck.

The only downside to this is guaranteed to be pricey.

I feel like an idiot for asking - what is a SAM? Also I saw a gentleman driving a W212 facelift with rear amber indicators, US spec, in Orange County, CA. I really wanted to stop and ask what he had to do.

Were you able to get this done yet? Through some research and luck, I found a guy in Germany who was able to reprogram my SAM back in 2014. Sadly, I lost his contact information, but a Forum search yielded this find for a guy in the U.S. Maybe it's still valid.

Good luck to anyone who attempts to make this happen.
