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

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.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, much appreciated. After I get my brakes done I'll be doing a little photoshoot and get up some new pics.

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!

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.
