Wes, did you end up biting the bullet on the side skirts or did you get a good price used? I see you got all the parts for the *** lift, when you getting the work done?

Thanks FatTony, mad props for your diffuser install DYI, it helped alot!
Hi All, the ebay seller was able to resolve all my problems promptly, so I can endorse his ebay store here:

I'm not sure if he will provide the resistors needed, so you might have to email him to get more details.

Resistor Install
My resistor install was not the most elegant, but it gets the job done. One picture, I tap the back of the stoplight bulb socket. Second picture shows the new resistor (white) tied to the resistor the light came with. Third picture shows how it all looks in the car.

They are aftermarket. Carlos bought them off a seller in the US. That seller no longer has anymore. MB doesn't make these OEM. I found a seller in Germany that sells them. The US seller has a waiting list.

You thinking about purchasing it from Germany?
I did a search and found these two companies who sell it with the middle part smoked-like what you have right now-and i'm very tempted to place the order. Just not sure how reliable the part is gonna be from a unknown compnay...but then again it is a company and not a single seller, so it can't be that bad. If a problem occurs perhaps i can contact the company. Lemmie konw what you're gonna do, ill probably follow your lead and buy from the same seller since the US eBay seller does not respond to emails regarding a timing on the tails.

Yup I already bought them. The package is on it's way here already. Do you want the info for the seller now or wait until I receive it to make sure everything is legit?

It appears the model is RMB17DLRS for smoke and RMB17DLRC for crystal. Possibly made or resold by Dectane. A web search will find several sellers, one as low as e229 - but that includes sales tax. Perhaps it can be removed if shipped to the US.
