OLED tail light conversion

I just purchased a set of the OLED taillights for MY2017 C217. Waiting on them to show up before ordering the wiring harness adapter. Anyone have any experience with this conversion?

I got them from this seller https://www.ebay.com/itm/266739758816. They are Mercedes OEM new out of box. He has the cheapest "new OEM" 4pc. sets out there. Shipped out of Germany I think. The adapter harness is made by carsystems.com.ua Benz-ninja says carsystems.com.ua is a high-end company he knows of. Waiting to inspect taillights before ordering harness. There are two sellers on Ebay that can get the adapter harness too, but I don't know if the harnesses are the carsystems brand. I think Benz-ninja might have to do some coding for the dash cluster errors after install too. I am shooting for this to be a $1500-$1750 upgrade and if I sell my old pair on Ebay, it might work out as a free/minor cost upgrade.

I was looking at trunk lids on ebay and lots of them say 2015-2021 and look to have the same taillight recess. I believe they are the same, but could be wrong. Guess I will find out.
