I hate how the even upgraded tail lights on the CL still seem dated (even the ones with the 4 white stripes instead of 2)
Sure when you brake, the top portion glows in LED. I have a 1 off set of tail lights for my car the way I designed them and have yet to ever see a pair that ever resembles mine. The turn signals are LED and it cleans it up much nicer. But the bottom portion/running lights are still lit by 2 plain red bulbs. ....Even those I replaced with LEDs, but jus doesn't look as right...
I spoke to some people months ago to make me a set, but he said there was no market/interest for such a nice car
I even when as far and tried to buy a set of these upgraded entire LED W220 tails you can can get, where the running light portion and and brake lights all illuminate in multiple LEDs. Seeing as they basically run the exact same internals except that the CL's outer mask shape has more length on the side.....the internals are the exact same size.....thought that could work....but that didn't work for my own DIY project. It was nearly impossible to separate the housing from the unit box.

SO what I'm proposing is to get these guys that make the all LED tal lights fo for numerous modes (W220, S, CLK, SLK, E, C, ML etc...) to make us a set for the W215 CL. They would come with built in resistors of course to just plug N play. It would really clean up the rear visual aspect when the tail lights are turn on
So here's my idea.....get some sets made that the entire bottom portion when the lights are give off a definite new refreshing look for the rear lights:


Notice how there's over/around 20 LED's that turn on on the bottom portion rather than the standard/dull 2 basic plain bulbs.

What do you guys think? Any interest? Shouldn't be more than 400-500$ a pair.
IDK, little touches just like that give off such a cool difference. Or even if we could make the stripes in the back some sort of running lights and still work as turn signals

Thanks for your interest/input

 

I think it'd make the tail lights look better.

 

While the CL board is slightly more active than the R board I think it's quite an uphill battle to get a group buy going.

What I'd be more interested in hearing is if you can get someone to make one off LED tail lights for your car the way you want. The reason being is I'd like a set of LED tail lights for my R Class but no aftermarket company makes them. OEM did do a facelifted tail light in LED but it's a different shape from the pre facelift! It's too difficult to get them to work so I'd rather get someone to make something if it's possible without paying too much for it.

Best of luck!

 

I feel ya bro. Took nearly 3 years to get 10 diffusers made...

 

Thread cleaned. Please keep on topic.

Look what they for do my sc300
Stock.....


Modified

 

Well I certainly do appreciate a non-negative commnt on your behalf.\\My only question is, do they work with MB (and failty new) lights?

Thank you

Way better thsn stock btw

 

They do any type of work, Lexus, BMW 8 Series, I think i saw a Ferrari in there etc....
They do a conversion for the old SL but they do many cars
The SC300 kit above is $2500 which is worth more than my car. But its quality and top notch. I would have no problem forking over this kind of moolah for this mod.

Cincity designs was another one, but they went belly up.

 

Wow, those look quality!

 

Thanks for that link moosejaw! A little too rich for my blood but it's nice to know that stuff like that exists and I do have that option should I choose.

 

Sent th4m a descriptive email If they can make my vision come true - without throwing any error codes, I

 

I sent them a descriptive email with pictures trying to get my vision across. My lights are unlike any other MB tail light I've seen, so to now to get it working how I want would be fantastic- The biggest thing I said tho, is no matter what I can't have malfunction codes. If good, I told him I don't care about cost. Hopefully he can come though! Thanks for aiming me there.

 

Dude come on after all youve done to your RL63?
I would have thought you would have called them by now with your AMEX black handy.

It will be interesting to see what they develop for the CL
Ive always liked the new CLS lights. Id be surprised if these guys couldnt pull it off.

A lot of Lexus SC guys are put off by the cost, but people will pay $500 for a set of 97 and up tailis. Whats another $1500?


I had a creative guy in Brooklyn make these for my RX7. It actually only cost me $420. He wont make them anymore though. He got a call from NHTSA.

 

Shhot! I'd spend over $2,000-3000 if I could get the tails of my CL to remotely resemble the '13 S Class tails with all those LEDs, bur I like our shape better if done right and correctly

 

Hi There i would like to buy your lights can u send them to Sydney Australia.

 

were these custom lights ever produced???
