Question Smoke/Red w210 aftermarket tail lights

I'm looking to upgrade my w210 tail lights to some smoke/red facelift style (Non LED). Does anyone have any leads or personal experience on good quality ones?.....Well....Maybe I should reword this one, does anyone have any leads on some that require the least amount of TLC to get them up to good quality? I thank you in advance!

i bought the 210, E55 lights. however the penalty is that the design comes with
the annoying MB electrical glitch which accompanies all 210 tail lights. at least
it retains the OEM looks. I can patch a workaround on the ubiquitous "lamp
malfunction" problem easily enough

My 210 is the metallic burgundy color. The red taillights look hideous against this color which is why I "smoked" mine. I bought the E55 taillights like Raymond and then took them to a shop to lightly smoke them. You don't want them black but with just enough clear/black to tint them.

I appreciate the replys!.......That's where I was leaning towards as well, I want something that gives that good clean solid look, basically opposite of the Enzo ones. After many hours of research, I'm finding only those of the OEM offer.
So, in the case that I was able to find a used AMG pair, what would be a fair market value price be on em?
