Where to find CLK LED tail lights in seller's eBay store
I am curious as to the exact listing for the LED tail lights in fishcake21's eBay store. I looked fairl diligently but could not locate. Already have an e-mail out to him, but haven't heard back. Any idea how to find them there? thanks much -- I would love to stick them on my '05 CLK 500 Cabriolet.

where do you buy the bulb brackets?
I bought the LED taillights from the seller on ebay and it's definitely an upgrade over my old taillights. Although the listing said they were for 2003 - 2007, clearly they're for 2006 - 2009 CLKs (with the facelifted taillights).
There is plenty of threads detailing the install of the facelifted taillights on pre-facelifted cars, so I won't get into that; but I did have to buy the bulb brackets because the old bulb brackets didn't fit.
Another problem I encountered was the stop lamp did not work right away (error message; plus the lights would blink). This was fixed by adding a 25W 5.7ohm resistor to the stop lamp socket (I believe this problem will also affect facelifted CLKs).
Now the pics!

You could get them through parts.com for $16.68 each. Part # 209 820 0877 & 209 820 0777.
or
You can get them used for $50 on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...Q5fAccessories)

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.

OT: dragon - Have you put any spacers on your MRR-GT1? I'm planing on putting 10mm H&R spacers on the front and back. These spacers are hub centric, and I want to make sure they will work with the GT1s (I'm worried that the GT1 hub size is smaller than the the hub size on the spacer).
