LED tails on white CLK

Yes, I'm another one that jumped on the LED tails wagon, here is a crappy pic (no a lot of light out now) of them on my car, I haven't seen them on a white CLK before;



Keep in mind that if you are upgrading from a pre-facelift tail like I did, you need new bulb boards;

2098200877
2098200777

Additionally, you need a different signal light bulb;

7507 (pre-facelift uses 7506)

Something strange on my car too, I didn't have to bend/cut the tab that's in the way on other pre-facelift CLK's, perhaps I have a very, very late '05 that used the '06 production platform Anyways, it sure made installing these a breeze.


Thanks to Wes and Michal for their help

Absolutely, hopefully it will be when there is an open trackday/night. Make sure to PM me with notice before you come, I'll try to make sure I'm in town.

Thanks guys. Yeah, the large clear turn is such a cleaner look that the old split look. I'm just going to leave it the way it is, no tinting, same as the mirror turns. Nice to know that the exterior is almost finally done.

Looks very clean Kev, especially with the white turn signals!

Ever considered getting the Carbon Fiber License Plate, backing plate?

You know, when I was buying up parts for my container shipment I was ready to pull the trigger on that CF piece but held off on the last minute. I thought it might be a little too much, on the white car black accents really contrast heavily and I wanted to try to keep it looking like a factory issue. If the car was silver or black I would have done it.

Picked up my 7507 signal bulbs from the dealer today and plugged everything in - wow, these things are bright! This is an absolute must do on the mod list for those that are considering it. They update the look of the car, they match the 3rd brake light (LED's) and they are bright as heck while being instant on/off. No errors, simple plug and play.

I should have done this mod far sooner!

Kev that looks perfect man. I would recommend leaving the middle part white in case you are thinking to tint.

I just cant wait for your next mods lol everything you do is like WHOA

At first I like it from the rear beause of your car white color but after looking at all your car pics with the "black out" themes (headlights, foglight, roof, BS spoiler, black wheels, lip spoiler....etc., I think it look better tint. Listen, try the tint and if you don't like it, just remove it. It not a negative comment, just an honest opinion.

Thanks man, appreciate the comment, just trying to keep the whole look flowing. Not many cosmetic mods left to do now, just the performance things, brakes, supercharger and the Black Series strut bars...

Not taking it as a negative comment at all, you might be right, maybe I'll try a very light tint on the mirror signals and center section of the tails and see how it looks. Like you said, I can always take it off if I don't like it.

I put the non smoked on my car and love the look. I'm not into tinting though. I do think that with the LED's the factory spoiler looks too small. nit picky for sure but...
