ı had ordered on monday from Germany. today it arrived me with no problem.
By the way mine one has black signal lines or darkened. the one on the link is not mine

Clkboi

For the 06+ models do you still need extra resistors and that slight modification on the plastic part?

Fur12

Ihave 2007 but I dont have any idea I will see tomorrow or saturday

dynomite05

You will need the extra resistors for all W209s. The piece that has to be bent to make room for the lights are only on pre-facelift cars. You should be fine, only need the extra resistor.

Fur12

what should I say to the technician what kind of resistor is there kinds of it?

Clkboi

I see. Maybe we should message the sellers from Germany and tell them they are not simply plug and play...

dynomite05

Here is the link to Carlo's install.

I don't know if they ever advertised that they were plug and play. They probably have never installed them. Maybe try messaging the seller I linked above.

Clkboi

He is not selling them??

xpl0sive

can you post the link for the ones you got? i'd like to get the ones with the darkened turn signals

dynomite05

I'm not selling them, just letting you guys know that they came up on eBay again. Before they only had them on eBay.de.


Nope.


I checked for my seller on eBay.de and he only has the clear ones.

ı bought from this seller but i don't know if he has some more

He does mention the pre-facelift ones need two sockets from dealers. Anyone knows what sockets he means? However, he does not mention that they also need a slight modification to fit.

dynomite05

The sockets are the plastic brackets that hold the bulbs. Only the pre-facelift W209s need them because their tails are different. For facelift W209s, they could just reuse their old ones.

god these led tails are pissing me off. i've tried everything and they still don't work after three days. the left side keeps popping up with the message and it blinks. it can't be the resistors because i've swaped them to the right side and its fine. so i don't know what to do now. the soders of the resistors are ok as well...

dynomite05

That's why I really haven't tried to install them myself.

ahmadk

take them to a pro... he'll know how to solve this issue

Those are very tempting, such a simple mod yet makes a big difference on looks.

waveterrorist

fwiw i was offered the lights for 350 shipped so if you want them
DO NOT PAY UP

I went late model OEM instead for less

dynomite05

Just found the smoked ones on eBay, same seller.

Ancient thread but the LED tails are still popular so why not revive it, right? The eBay seller says:

* You might or might not know that Mercedes offers both LED and Non-LED versions of tail lights on the W209 CLK. This is your perfect solution if you have the Non-LED version and want to upgrade to the top of line AMG look LED version. With our new tail light, you know can own the real LED tail light onto your Non-LED CLK-Class.*

MB never had OEM LED tails on the 209, did they?

i think the clk63 bs does.

Rudeney

I have checked all the parts in EPC and other than variations in model years (the "C" shaped clear section which was changed to the single line clear section in MY2006) there is no difference between the CLK63, CLK350 or CLK550. I don't believe MBZ ever made LED tail lights for the W209.

EMC

Do these leds require bending of the plastic for pre face models

Rudeney

I know that installing post-facelift tail lights on a pre-facelift vehciel requires some bending of the metal on the inner fender. I am not sure about these aftermarket LED tail lights. If so, it's a very minor thing to do.
