03 CLK55 AMG
The 06 tail lights will work just fine the dealer tried to sell me those to update my 03 CLK55. However, they new tail lights look the same as the tail lights on the Toyota Camry. Look at the Camry tail lights, nothing impressive or distinctive about the new tail lights.

The CLK tail lights are most distinctive, there are no others like them. Plus the turn signals flash orange vice red like the new tail lights. Guess I like being different from everyone else.

Go look at the tail lights of a Dodge Neon. I love the tail lights I have now, cuz i smoked them, but recently i got pulled over by a cop and now I can either replace the lights with the same thing(not smoked) or get the new ones. I want the new ones. Anyone else no if they fit for sure on an 03 or 04 CLK500?

Hold up a a second, which ones are the newer style? I have a 2003 and my tail lights look like the picture on the right in the OP. However, those tails look "newer" to me.

I personally like the older tail light better when the 2006 model came out but I changed my mind since when I bought my diamond silver 2006 Clk 500 Cabriolet. The new tail like look much better then the old one. As for the electrical part, it should be the same. I remember when I changed one of the bulb, I pull out the whole electrical panel with all the bulbs in it. If your panel with all the bulbs in it then it the same. Anyway, you can alway return it if it does not fit. It not an electrical part, it just the tail light housing and so you can return it. Too bad, I don't have a digital camera so I can take some pictures for you. Btw, mine tail light now look even better with tinted (tinted the white part only) like the older AMG tinted tail light.
