'98 Obsidian Black E320
Custom Tail Lights for a '98 E320

I would like to swap-out my stock tail lights (let's face it, they're pretty boring) with some euro-style lights but I can't find a place on the internet that sells them for a 1998 MB. Any suggestions where I can find them, if at all?

Also, I'd like to add some chrome to the exhaust tailpipes. Will the chrome tailpipe fittings that can be found at a automotive store work for this car?

If your car is dark color, go with the red & smoke (as seen in 2000 - later) E55. Otherwise, go with the red & clear (as 2000 - later) E320/430.

All the aftermarket crap are fun to look at at first, but they're like girl with three *****: you will look at because of their weirdness, but definitely don't want to be seen with.

$280 for a set.

for rear exiting exhaust go to muffler shop they can weld on tips. auto store fittings wont work cause your pipes aim down. even better upgrade to performance muffler like remus, amg, lorinser, etc. this will also give your car a more aggresive sound
