European style non LED tail lights...?

Does anyone know if these "European Style" tail lights are essentially OEM replacement tail lights? I have a 97 E420, and I just want to get the 2000 style stock/OEM white tail lights from a 2000 E430.

many will tell you to buy the OEM from a used car or from the dealership, I ordered my red/smoked euro lights for 170 shipped awhile back from one of these benz websites advertised here and on benzworld (forgot which one) and I've had no problems with them, but beware of ebay electronics and car parts and proceed with caution

Thanks for the input. I am thinking about getting a pair of depo's, non LED tail lights for about 120 shipped.

Do you have a photo of yours...?

thanks,

Al

STAY AWAY!

I ordered similar lights from I think the same guy in Simi Valley, but they're made in Taiwan. OK plastic quality, but the circuit boards are cheap pressed tin! The teeth on the connector are such thin sheetmetal that they bend out of form if you don't slide the connector on JUST RIGHT. Horrible, and the light sockets? HORRIBLE! Loose bulbs, had to bend stuff, and still had Lamp Defective warnings internittantly. These clowns would not refund my money and were quite rude.

1. Get used MB stuff off of eBay (look for OEM W210 tailights)
2. Just buy 'em at the dealer ('00-'02 W210)
