Rear LED tail lights

They have finally started manufacturing aftermarket LED tail lights that actually look decent. Below is a set I installed from 55tech on a '11 G550. No cutting wires or CanBUS errors in the dash!!! Inside the red circle on the lights is where the signal lights turn on...when the brake lights go on the outside red circle gets brighter...very easy install and something different!!!

Wanted to pass along as I have not seen these available before....

I heard that if you get hit in the rear with LED's that are not factory spec, you'll get denied on any claim and have to pay out the ***. I could be wrong but I would look into it.

what seal u used?
The facelift are bigger than OEM, so they stand out plus the seal from the facelift (OEM or aftermarket) wont fit the body plus it will leave a gap on the outside (left and right).
Did you use silicone?
