I Love my 2007 Style Tail Lights

Thought I would post these pics for those of you pondering the idea of updated your tail lights. I will warn you that if you dont buy the stock colors they come in (white, blk, and silver) and have to have them painted they are a pain in the *** to paint. If you want to have them painted and you are looking for perfection stay away from them...

I am not a fan of w221 lights on a w220 at all, but must admit, the painted white strips and overall look reminds me of the 1st run tails on the w220. Your setup looks very good mike.

Looks pretty good. I think it would look very sinister if the three light parts were tinted.

Thanks for the kind remarks BenznoDubz and Newton22. Wow...the "A" word (Amazing) -- Thanks Thericker ! Last upgrade is to replace all of my Lorinser mesh (front widemouth and two rear vents) with 304 gauge SS electrolpolished chrome mesh. It is a more aggressive and bolder mesh and will go well with the other chrome accents on the car except for those f'in chrome door pillars. They gotta go -- bad decision on my part to put those on .

Thanks Big "H" and Schwarz. I mentioned painted those pillars to match the color of my car to my guy at the body shop and he mentioned that it might look a little funny b/c of that small black piece at the top of the pillar that is black might break the flow. But it cant look any worse than those chrome pillars. I think I will probably do that. Also Schwarz, I like the LED thing you have going on under your car. Can you program it so the LED lights will be in sync with the lights that cut on when you lock and unlock the car. I dont think I would want those lights on while I am driving or anything crazy like that...I would just want that 30 second or so illumination when I lock and unlock it.

Its a Lorinser DTM kit. The company I got it from is no longer a distributor for Lorinser so you should probably should just google "lorinser" on the internet to find distributors...if you are interested.

What do you mean 2007 "style". Are these '07 lights? Do the w221 lights fit a w220?

"Style" means that they look like 2007 lights. These are made for the W220, but look like W221 lights "style".

Question

Looks tight. How much you paid. The best price I found was 199 plus 20 shipping already painted.

You should paint your pillar post too. I'm not a fan of chrome on the body. But the lights look sick. You got them done before me. Was it easy to put on by the way? And again where and how much you paid?

The W221 and W221 lights are shaped differently I believe. These lights were made for the W220 but were made to resemble the W221 lights.

Thanks. EBay for $279.00. At the time they were only avail in black, but now they are going for much cheaper and you have the option of black, silver, and white. The price you mentioned seems accurate Mugsy415. Did you ever get things resolved with your rubbing issues?

thanks to benzondubz he sent me some pics of what needs to be done for my rubbing issues. I rarely rub. Havnt rubbed in a about a week. But now I got the pics so when I have time I can show the body shop of what needs to be done.
