Change tail lights?

Is it possible to change tail lights on 2003-2006 CL? I personally don't like the look and I prefer the look of the newer MB tail lights.

I like this look

I know you can change the older CLs to the '03 - '06 lights, but it was a complete body change for 2007. I don't think they would really fit. Maybe aftermarket parts?

no offense, but those are horrible, and only on a chicks car. i think the 03 and up ones are great, what color is your car. you should look into tinting them instead, black them out and leave the reverse lines clear, would be bad azz

Those lights arent even on a CL. those are new CLK lights. that silver trim IMO is pretty ghetto.

Yes!
I had my taillights painted all black with the reverse lights left clear. I always get compliments about them and people think they're stock. It looks mean at night especially with the tint. I'm thinking about debadging the whole thing and getting the grille painted black. If you do decide to paint any part, make sure they order oem mb black paint. It's not worth using anything else.
