W221
Can anyone tell me or have a picture where the SAM is located? I was thinking to do the installation myself and get dealer to program it. I don't want to start taking apart the rear end of the car just to find the SAM.

My ex-cars: 03 E55,04 C32, 05 C55 ,03 E320
So looks like the rear tail lights can be done by getting a new REAR SAM +reflash and Rear taillights.

Anyone retrofitted the LED headlight/bumper yet?

Can anyone in southern California let me know of a local dealer where I can take my car to have the headlights turn signals, and taillights converted to the 2010 ones? I'm calling a few dealers, and they say they don't do modifications.

Front light upgrade isn't worth it since they do not look all that different, considering that you need lights plus SAM. Can't imagine it being under $3,500 with programming.

Good price for rear light is around $400 a piece with the rear SAM at $350 and a few hundred for programming. Installation for the lights is a piece of cake, but rear SAM requires a bunch of panels to be removed in the trunk.

Someone selling update taillights plug and play
Someone selling the taillights on ebay with all the work done for you.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...fAudioQ5fVideo

Can someone paste that ebay ad for a permanent post so when the auction ends it still will be here for all to see later.

I had no idea they were that cheap on parts.com thanks

I think anyone can do it if they take the time out to figure out the schematic.
