you mean 2 cents?

thanks dynomite. i regret posting because soon after when thinking about it it made sense to me. elegance = clear and avantgarde = smoked. the parts number thread is great. do need some more part numbers though.

wow man. you are great.

its #10 and 11 i would think. the #11 part is not broken itself but its the long part connected to it which would be the motor #10 i'm guessing. i can hear it click as if the motor is working its just the piece connected to it that is broken.

Through parts.com #10 is $210.45 and #11 is $19.55. Before you order, send me your VIN through PM so I could get you the exact part #'s for your car.

They should fit if your caliper is less than 9", but IMHO I don't think it's worth the money. Just my $.2

Hi Dyno,

Do you know where I can find replicas of the CLK Black Series rims?
I have searched ebay without result.

By the way, love what you have done with the back bumper with the exhausts on your car

Really old thread sorry, but ive been having trouble today fitting my facelift lights.

The bulb positions appear to be completely different, after doing some searches online it would appear I need:

209 820 08 77- Rear lamps - Tail lamps - Socket panel Socket panel Right 2006 - 2009

209 820 07 77- Rear lamps - Tail lamps - Socket panel Socket panel Left 2006 - 2009

But looking at your posts above, you only talk about bending some metal.

Anyone confirm that the socket panel from the later models is simple plug and play?

You will have to bend the metal and buy the socket panels. If you have the per face lift clk.

Gents, This is the same problem as I am having. Please advise.

I have a 2004 CLK 320 Cabriolet. I wish to replace the rear lights shown on the left in BBWs photos to the style shown on the right. I understand that the metal needs bending but....

What I am unclear about is will all of the 2005 on "facelift" lights fit my car?

I understand that I require to replace the socket panel/bulb holders. Will these post 2005 bulb holders all be compatable with all post 2005 lights/lens? I asked Merc UK regards cost of bulb holder but they could not tell me as I could not give chasis no as I don't have a post 2005 car

Finally will the existing wiring and plug that connects the to new lights be compatable or will new plugs need to be rewired?

Thanks in advance.

FYI, the MY2005 facelift did not change the tail lights. While there was a major interior and electronics facelift for MY2005, the new style tail lights didn't come into production until MY2006. And to clarify what "model year" means, it has nothing to do with the "registration year". Typically, car manufacturers roll out their next-year models in the summer before the model year, so a MY2006 car was probably on sale in July or August of 2005. Sometimes it's even earlier, but late summer is most typical.

I understand that I require to replace the socket panel/bulb holders. Will these post 2005 bulb holders all be compatable with all post 2005 lights/lens? I asked Merc UK regards cost of bulb holder but they could not tell me as I could not give chasis no as I don't have a post 2005 car
The bulb panels are not interchangeable between the two different style tail lights. If you buy the tail lights as aftermarket upgrades, they should come with the proper bulb panels.

The wiring harness is the same.

Rud - My fish-cake aftermarket LED tails didn't come with the face-lift bulb socket board :<
If you buy from, plan on spending the extra $$ on the correct MB parts.

Not cheap... but a huge difference on the look of my rear end.

Hmm, I didn't realize that. Do those LED lights require the facelift bulb panel, or will they work with the older style panel? I looked at Fishcake's eBay listing and it's not clear.

Pretty sure they require face-lift!
I remember a lot of guys having to buy the face-lift panel when they switched to these!
