But it think you might be better off if you get the 03-06 Led tail lights.
They look better IMO.

I disagree. I like the newer ones MUCH better 
.
But for the thread starter..yes they are plug in play. However do not get replicas from ebay..make sure they are authentic OEM because I know other members received issues when they plugged the replicas.

would these LED w221 styled LED lights work on an 07 e550?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=
on the item description, it says theyre for 03-06 but they are plug and play. i asked the seller if they work for an 07 but he said 03-06, however i just wanted to make sure?

Personally, I think they look more updated and like them better than the new 07> style. As with everything, it's all a matter of personal taste.

Those look good as well . It's just that they usually only make them in either white or black strips..so if you have a blue/red/etc car you would have to paint the strips yourself to get it to match.

The only section of them that is not LED is the backup light, everything else is (see pic below). The ones I bought are great quality (even the Service Advisors at MB of Chicago thought they look OEM), and they give NO error message whatsoever.

With that said, the only reason I can think they wouldn't work is perhaps electrical? They're 100% LED (except for the back up lights) and give no error message as they come with dual resistors. Maybe someone else on the site knows a reason they wouldn't work on post 06 W211 models.
I bought them from REVOTEC on eBay. I've had them installed for over 10 months now and am extremely pleased with them, both in looks and performance.

It's an 03 E500, with the 07-08 front end as I did the facelift.
Listen, the people at REVOTEC had EXCELLENT Customer Service when I purchased my set. Send them an email, explain you're not sure they'll work on your Benz due to their 03-06 description, and tell them other Benz owners think they MIGHT work. Ask if you can send them right back if they don't work, you've got nothing to loose asking them Bro.

Can you turn on the rear fog light and take a picture, please? I am wondering what happens when the BUS sends more voltage to the LED parking lights on the driver's side. Can you also check your MFD and see if there is an error message?

I don't really see a huge advantage in having LED reverse lights. It would be nice though. Where is the rear fog light then?

The rear fog light is in the same spot as the OEM tail light.
