OEM is good...
1 is too dark
2 is too ricey
3 can work...I like it.

So its OEM or #3 IMO

By #4 you mean #3 right? )
I also kind of like #3, its different than most tail light paint jobs.
I saw #2 style on my friends E 350 and it looked good.

Well, the lights are actually going to be painted with gloss black paint.
I saw that done on my friends car and it looks almost like a car body paint job.
so whatever is painted will look like the rest of the car or close....

Dude you should just swap tail lights with me if you are going to black them out. I'll trade you tail lights and pay the money for you to get them painted.

If you plan on blacking out the whole tail light, then we should trade since you won't see any detail once they are blacked out.

I currently have these:

https://mbworld.org/forums/exterior-...il-lights.html

And want to trade for yours. So I am saying that we trade tail lights and I pay for the cost of blacking out the tail lights. Or I get them blacked out from the same company that did the black on them right now and we do an even trade.
