hello dear
i have changed the rear tail light to European one and fit to the cable of US ,, so the turn signal works fine in Amber but when I press the break the turn signal in Amber is become consistent Amber and no blinking I made all the program in the work shop but they could not solve this problem. So please do you have Any Idea .
best regards

As I understand, the us code makes the rear lights both be blinkers and brakelights. In the rest of the world these are done on 2 different lights.
So it needs to be coded to work on 2 different lights, it sounds like you have just changed the wires... and now your amber lights works as both braking and turn signals.

I'm looking to ship my W213 US Spec out to Europe and to register it over there. Before I can do that I need to swap out the rear tail lights to the EU spec with yellow/amber turn signals. I was going to buy the ones off of eBay that another user posted on here (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Be...s/153425496161) but know I need different cables/connectors and possibly to rewire. Any insight on this? Was anyone able to figure this out?

Hi I was wondering if anyone can assist in locating and adding a wire in the rear SAM of a GLS X166. I have red blinkers and need amber. I bought some EU aftermarket lights but need to know where to look

Does anyone else find it ironic that when Mercedes "facelifted" the W213 they suddenly thought there no reason not to have amber rear turn indicators. What changed?

Something worth considering is that Canadian cars have the LED headlights and the US spec rear minimum square cubits of red brake light area rear brake lights. If I understand this the coding would be a third version and different than US and Europe.

What about those US-spec MBs that do not have coding option ?
There is solution making it easier to install than running two extra wires; only work inside the boot!
