Got these this morning but i still need the new socket for these lights..hopefully i can get those by next week and if you guys have extra or know where i can get those for good deal beside parts.com let me know. This is the plan, i will tint the red area ( a little darker/dark cherry maybe?) and leave the clear out.

Clkboi

O yah???? Doing this and not letting us know huh.

Congrats man. Are those LED?

EDIT: i notice you managed to install your home theater too. Good job

bheng

if those are LEDs tell me which extra things i need to pick up to make them work. lol this is on the to-do list after brakes, exhaust, and sways

I bet those are LEDs, the packaging looks the same as the ones I bought. I believe the LED tails available now come the right amount of resistors. I had problems because I was practically the first person anywhere to try them and all the bugs were not worked out.

M-bENZ

ahhaah the box is for the LED one but the lights i got is the stock one from CLK350 eheheh....not yet on the LED guys...later...later

M-bENZ

lol nothing too fancy but it does the job...the music is on everytime im home

I see those are the facelifted lenses, I have a set of the LED ones sitting here that I need the new bulb boards for as well, I paid about $100USD for them from MB, should be here in another 10 days.

BTW - Shout out to Carlos for posting the facelift bulb board numbers on his tail light thread.

They ( socket panel) are $18 each at parts.com

Kevwood

Thanks for pouring that box of salt into my wound Andy.

M-bENZ

Lol sorry .

Kevwood

You know what the real kicker would be? If when I get the car 100% done I get transfered back to Canada/US where I could have done the same build for 50% less...

Thanks Wes but it seems like they selling the same price as the brandnew one from parts.com ...they are $18.60 each.

Edit: These are the part number for the facelift socket panel in case someone need it,

Mercedes Part Number: A2098200777 and A2098200877 ( from parts.com)

dynomite05

They probably have it worded wrong. I checked the part numbers and they say 06-09.

Oooh these will look awesome on your car! post pix when you're done

M-bENZ

will do gotta buy me the new socket panel and then tint the red part ( not sure it will be paint or tint).

mikata

How much tint are we taking about here? 20-30% tint?

M-bENZ

as light as possible...like dark cherry ? idk lol

mikata

either do 20% or 70%, it would look kewl on tor car both contrast would look good on pewter color!
