change taillight to amber, any coding needed?
I just shipped my 2014 E350 from USA to UK and need to have the amber turn signals at the rear to meet UK spec.
I purchased a UK set of rear lights off ebay (they look exactly the same as the US ones, red and clear lens), plugged them in, they still flash red plus come up with turn signal error on the dash
only difference was the connector plugs were configured different, with a plastic tab in different spot, so I just cut the tab off.
Not sure if the light need rewiring or is there some coding needed to be done in xentry/das
they work OK but flash red instead of amber plus of course the dash error message indicates something is amiss
