Looks good!

Kevwood

Those will look great on the car Andy, light tints look great against pewter.

M-bENZ

Thanks Kev. We'll see im going to put those on today and hey i remembered you hav mentioned about the better bulbs like more bright or something ? Which bulb kev ?

Kevwood

As for the bulbs, I remember mentioning that guys (like me) who go from the pre-facelift tails to the post-facelift, we needed the updated bulb boards/sockets and the signal bulb needs to be changed out to the new style - the old one doesn't fit.

I'm sure I listed the part number in the thread I made, LED tails on white 209, or something like that.

M-bENZ

I got the sockets already but for the signal bulbs we have to have the newer one too ?

mikata

Looking forward to the pics!

Kevwood

Yep;

M-bENZ

Thats it .

Additionally, you need a different signal light bulb;

7507 (pre-facelift uses 7506)

I appreciate it Kev. I hope i can find those bulb at Autozone so that i dont have to order.

Kevwood

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to, if not, MB should have them in stock. I think I paid $6 for mine from MB here in Dubai and they were in stock.

I am walking to my garage right now as we speak...pics will come soon

M-bENZ

Here they are and one thing that i want to mention too i dont have to bend anything like 03 and 04 to fit the lights in. I remembered Kev said that he didnt need to bend his so i guess anyone with the 05 we dont have to do that ..it fits right in. Also , i was having a trouble with one of the socket from the new panel when i was transferring the old bulbs to that, one of the bulb wont fit in ( smallest bulb) i had to pry out and file it ( see pic #3) . I am very happy with the result...the light tint really looks good with my car color ( pewter silver).

Mka77

Fine job. They look great...

discoduck

Looks great! The lighter tint blends in with the pewter silver.

Kevwood

Looks real good Andy, but why did you have to file the board/socket down? Was it a LED connector or bulb that didn't fit?

M-bENZ

Kev, it was the bulb . Normally we push it down and turn it right ? But when I pushed it down I couldn't turn it because that metal is not deep enough to hold the bulb so yea I had to pry it out then file . I had to do that on both side .

Kevwood

Did you buy the 7507's?

mikata

Looks good Andy but I still can't see the tint

M-bENZ

Yes i did . Thanks for the part number. Next project will be the paddle shift and be ready for questions .

M-bENZ

time for eyes doctor . Look at my original light and the faclift one.
