S212 Are facelift tail lights plug and play with pre facelift
Hello members,
Looking at replacing my '13 tail lights and noticed that face lift tail lights (m.y. '16) are less expensive than pre face lift (m.y.'13)
m.y. '16 Rear Lamp Combination (212-906-07-57) $222
m.y. '13 Rear Lamp Combination (212906085864) $302
This thread gives me confidence that I can install face lift tail lights in my pre chassis:

Does anyone agree ?

As noted, the bodywork is slightly different on the pre-facelift cars, so the OEM ribbon taillights will not fit anyway.

Costs a bit less ... but it is a rather expensive upgrade.

According to EPC, both m.y. install the same gate part number 212-740-01-05 and fender p/n 212-630-05-21. Might work afterall.

For the prices you noted, these can't possibly be OEM taillights. If they are the Depos that badbenz94 used, then you might be ok. But I had to replace one of the four-piece light assemblies earlier this year (left inboard trunk light) and that OEM part alone cost $350. As noted, the bodywork is slightly different on the pre-facelift cars, so the OEM ribbon taillights will not fit anyway.
Just do yourself the favor and save a lot of headaches n get the Depos. I used some of their parts on my old ‘94 and had zero issues with them. They are quality parts. They are made in Taiwan which DOESN’T mean China. Taiwan produced items are good stuff imo.
