Aftermarket LED w221 headlights

hi guys,

I"m looking to update my 07 w221 to the new led style taillights aftermarket.

I see expressparts and fiskcake as ebay merchant sells them. Do you know the different or recommend which merchant if you had purchased them?

Or are they all the same?

Thanks.

Led Taillights

I bought mine from Express parts. They arrived on time and in good condition. Worked perfectly and look great. I would give them my recommendation.

your title states headlights, are you referring to tail lights?

You probably already know, but the tail lights do flash yellow when you turn on the turn signals.

Can't answer that. I've only had mine three weeks. They look good quality so I expect they will hold up.

But I gotta tell you, they look sooo much better than the originals.

I concur that's why I got them too. :-) The older style looks boring and its amazing what a simple upgrade changes the appearance of the entire car!

Thanks for the link.
I'm torn. I like these when they are on at night, but during the day I think the old lights look more in line with the body and the new style pops out too much.
