Yes the housing fits but you will need to bend a bit of the car to get the socket panel locked in. I used a pair of pliers. The whole install took me about 30 min just because I had previously taken out the lining and never put the clips back

Well that socket panel on the updated tails is a different shape. You just have to bend a piece of the inner part of the car to get them to fit. Your basically just making the hole wider. Your old lights shouldn't have a problem being put back in. I will be doing some work in my trunk tomorrow if you like I will take some pics. It's pretty straight forward

I had that error with my old lights. I tried to change a couple bulbs to LED. Only one worked so I left it in. After a while I started to get the same error. Once I switched the bulb back it went away

Try and swap out the bulbs on the side that's giving the error
I tired to make sure it would still line up with the foam seal on the light housing. Keep the outside elements out

Is it an AMG version? I have never seen that before?
Where did you get it?

On your picture the grill looks like the one sitting on the new C class.
Have a nice day!

Rear lights
I just got my AMG lights today and they are not as dark as your (side markers).
Thanks!
