How to tell if I have the performance package

I have a 2007 mercedes benz e550 that I just purchased over the weekend. My drivers-side rears tail light has a dime sized hole in it so I wanted to replace the rear assembly to fix it. However when looking for replacement parts I noticed some say "w/ Appearance Pkg". I am just wondering if there is any way for me to tell if I have the performance package so I know which light to order to match the otherside.

This is the replacement I was looking at at: https://www.carparts.com/details/Mer...L/M730170.html

And here is a picture to help:

You can try using a vin decoder, it should list all options on your car.

Is that part you linked OEM or aftermarket?
There's a used OEM one in good condition on eBay for about the same price.
You could even make an offer for $100 and I bet they would accept it or make a counter.

Edit: oh man, look at that when I submitted the comment it linked to a vin decodder on this site! Awesome! Ill have a look in there too!

The one I was looking at seems to be after market/3rd party. Once I am positive which one I need I will check ebay for sure for an OEM one.

See how the reverse light portion of your rear light is tinted? That is the sport package.

Hmmm that may just be the lighting where the picture is taken... Ill go look at it a little closer after work. If it does have the "sports" package is that the same or different than the "appearance package"? Where I have seen the replacement lights they have had 2 options "w/ appearance package" , and with-out. No mention of "sport" package specific lights. Perhaps the sports packages uses the same cover as one of the other packages but I am not certain.
