upgrading 2004 CL500

A few questions for assistance:

Looking to update my rear tail light lenses from the original color to smoke clear. Does anyone know how to locate theses lenses?

Looking to add SAT and bluetooth functionality to the head unit. It is already prewired. Any thoughts?

Thanks...

You can paint them with special tint if you want them smoked. Will be much easier and cheaper than changing the housing.

We offer all the SAT/bluetooth/iPod/Video and everything else electronics for your car. I can also help with the paint to smoke like I did these.
It is a model paint (from a hobby store) from Model Masters - called transparent black. It is completely reversible using common paint thinner. That will not damage the current lens, and will remove the tint should you make a mistake or sell the car (or change your mind)

Here it is March 2018 and this had the answers and instructions I needed for my new to me 2004 CL600. I enjoy this forum and thanks to all who take the time to help with all the knowledge and information. Wish Pandora worked and that’s nothing compared to having a working phone in my 2004 factory car. I do have option to go back to SiriusXM.
