Facelift - DRL, led tail lights and mirrors installed :)

I just made a small facelift to my 2008 GL (attached pictures), so now I have some parts that I don't need:
- Tail lights, left and right (mint condition)
- Rear SAM module
- Side mirrors, black and in perfect condition. Power adjustment and folding.
- Complete set of window trim, black. all in very good condition.

Please make an offer if interested in any of them.
(Parts for sale can be seen on picture number three)

Looks great...
Is it 450 or 550 ?
If it's 450 - I see your car has fender flares. Where did you buy it and how much if you remember ?
Thanks.

Nice work Roy!!! Im looking for DRL's for my 2011 GL 450. I got everything for it when i ordered it from the dealer. They forgot to add the lighting package, therefore i do not have the LED DRL's. Can you tell me where you got them from? Was this an expensive project for you?

Thanks,

John

Thank you for your comments

It's a 320 cdi
The flares was installed at my local Mercedes dealer, and cost me approx $2000 including paint.
The DRL's was bought from GetMercedesParts, and cost me approx $450. I also had to add a module to eliminate a bulb out warning and a can-bus module to enable the fogs as DRL's, as my car could no be programmed for LED/DRL.
I guess the 2011 should already be prepared for DRL's, so that only a little programming at your Mercedes dealer is needed to activate them.

Roy

Nice job, front looks pretty much the same as a 2011 and the wheels are the exact same as I have on ours, must have cost a pretty penny for those!

Yes, the wheels was a bit expensive, but I like a stock look and prefer original parts

I still have these parts for sale, and here are the links to the eBay auctions if anyone is interested:

Mirrors

Tail lights

SAM (Rear Control Unit)

The complete window trim is not listed on eBay, but I'm asking $100 USD shipped.

Please send me a PM or make a bid if interested

Thank you

The wheels are original 21" AMG. The price is a bit high, at least here in Norway, but I guess it should be possible to find a used set in good condition for arround $5000 in US.

It is actually about $3K, sometimes even cheaper. I saw it on EBay.

I guess $3K is for the old type AMG wheels? If it's for the new 2011 AMG wheels with new design they are a bargain, if they are in good condition

I'm jealous. Not interested in what you're selling but I'd love to know about your upgrades. You didn't say what you did but it looks like LED lighting in the front and rear? Headlamp housing with no orange on it? Please PM me the details I think I'm going to steal your idea(s) if you don't mind! Sexy
