New Tail Lamp
I have found tail lamp for W210 on E-bay.

I have 97 E-420 and will be upgrading my tail lamp.
Can some one check the e-bay and tell me your opinion.
Thanks.

Hey there, I check it out. They are non-oem lights. They are nice but I don't believe they say "no modification needed" SInce the 00-02 had the taillights like that, but the trunk side, are fitted differently than the 96-99. That you have to sand down part of the inner plastic housing to get it fit into the trunk lid. I'm not sure about those on ebay.

The Ad says "Altezza" lights....Altezza's don't even have lights like those
Like Vince says, modification may still be needed for a pre-00 model E. Nice price on them but I'd say get OEM ones for peace of mind and better quality for less than $100 more.

Go with OEM's... I bought a pair of lamps online that had the smoked turn signals and reverse lenses, like for an E55 and they were some aftermarket company. Total crap. The bulb sockets I had to modify to make some work and fit, nevermind fit right. Also I had to trim some of the outer lense to properly fit the body.

Stealers are above $300.
Any other web site?

Go to the DEALER! Get the E55 ones. The quality is there, you dont have to worry about flaky E-Bay sellers, lenses yellowing or cracking. You also get new bulbs included. Any problems, just return them.
