Whoa interesting. I might try that. It might look bad, it might not, but it will definately look different than all other W220s on the road.

The tail lights themselves look nice, but I can't imagine it on the car. Kind of interrupts the smooth flow of the W220 lines. Maybe if the strips weren't as thick.

+1

I very much dislike the 221, and those lights look like dog **** by themselves and on any 220 model.

The unique thing about the 221 lights is the body paint color on the two strips. These seem to be black. Unless that's the color of your car, it won't be the desired effect.

Read the listing. It says the strips will be painted to match your color.

OK. Says they "can" be painted. They do it? You do it? I'd have to see them on a car to have much of an opinion.

W221 lights have painted strips run to the very edges, not to a strip of red reflector plastic. This is not the same effect at all.

That's the best I could do with Microsoft Paint. Photoshop is on the other computer which I put away.
