lol, I actually bought them from a seller on eBay.de. This is his seller ID (tuningschnellversand), and his website (www.ad-tuning.de). I communicated in English.

This guy put them on a Silver CLK350. I would get the one with the smoked white part but he went with clear.
Pretty clean look

I could honestly say I don't like that website at all. I think it's useful for technical stuf and DIYs, but that's about it. His car does looks great. I'm a little jealous now after seeing them on a silver car. I think the turn signal tinted would look so much better. I want to install the lights already. lol

lol, I'm on my phone. I can't install them because the resistors need to be wired in for the brake lights. Last time I tried to mess with resistors I blew my SAM and took a $300 hit. I learned my lesson.

$300? If you get the right resistors and wire them right, it shouldn't be an issue (but better safe than sorry). The hardest part for me was making the housing fit with my pre-refresh CLK.

Yea, I'm not messing with the electrical anymore. Luckily, I have already modified the body for the facelift tails. One less problem to deal with.
How have your lights held up so far?

They held up Great! I've gotten tons of complements (after they notice my exhaust; comments mostly from SL folks for some reason). People believe that those tail lights are OEM; that's cool with me.

How is the brake light during the day? Bright enough? I found that most non-OEM LED brake lights are not bright enough on sunny day (... on those suped-up Hondas and such )

i've not yet seen the brake light during the day but only at night ..they are bright enough that you can see the driver's face behind your car clearly in the rear-view mirror ..I'll try to takes pictures during the day and upload
