Before,



After,

It might be the camera but I don't notice a difference

It is the camera...you can tell the diffence in person

They look good to me...

There you go ...you can compare MIke's tailight with mine lolz.

Looks good!

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

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 ?

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.

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

Looking forward to the pics!

Yep;

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.

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

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).

Fine job. They look great...

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

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?

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 .

Did you buy the 7507's?

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

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

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

good job Andy...
and like Mike said, I can't find the difference
Maybe it's us
