2004 Mercedes Benz CLK320
which taillight to buy?

i broke one of my real taillights on my 2004 clk, so i am considering upgrading to the newer style since they are the same price on parts.com. does anybody know the difference between the 2007 clk "avant garde" taillight and the 2007 clk "elegance" taillight. also i have seen other people put these on their older CLK so i assume that they fit? any insight would be appreciated. thank you

Avantgarde is the smoked version and the elegance is the clear/white centers. They do fit the older models, with some work.
