Looking for a shifter paddle / rocker switch 07 cls550

Hello,
Does anyone have a lead on a rocker switch / shift paddle for a 2007 cls550 amg sport? It has or rather had oem paddles until I recently broke the left "down" paddle. The circuit board and wiring are fine and still in the steering wheel, it was the plastic surround that broke into serval pieces and fell out.

Is there an upgraded or better version I should look for?

I found a set of switches / paddles at the dealer but there $200 and I really only need 1. Ebay is always an option but wanted to check here first.

sorry man, no luck on those paddles.
I have a set of paddles from 2015+ amg, they can fit but youll need to do some modification to your wheel. if youre interested in those i can sell a set.

Any chance you have a photo of them handy?
Would I just need to modify the steering wheel to fit them? Or are modified electronics, wiring, programming, etc needed also?
Thought I read that the signals from the shift paddles where opposite or different some how on newer models vs older models.
I'm not familiar with how these work or might be thinking of a different manufacturer

dont have a pic on my laptop of them shoot me a txt

you will need to repin the plug. the new paddles are pinned
left: 1,2
right, 1,2

the cls is pinned
left; 1,3
right, 1,2

so youll need to take the connectors off the oem paddle and install on the new paddle

thatll take care of the wiring

as for fitment, youll need to modify the paddle hole on the wheel to fit the new paddles as they are deeper than the stock cls paddles. not very difficult just takes some time. need to test fit, cut, test fit cut ect till it fits how you like it
