Yes, the AMG body package on the W220's had the poser rear badge as standard. I understand that the real AMG drivers finally had enough of the posers and convinced MB to stop putting those badges on non-AMG cars, thus there haven't been any since the 220's.

But this car with '07-'09 tail lights that you encouraged me to buy last week wasn't poser?

And that's exactly why you should remove those badges. It's an S550, not an AMG.

If you go to any Benz events, don't show up with those badges as they'll have a good laugh at your expense. Even Mr. Badges himself (WPWH28) had enough sense not to stick any AMG badges on his car with the body kit.
Incorrect Dave my friend, the 07 s550 came with amg badges if the car had the amg appearance package.
That said I don't think these are factory!

Thats what i thought i think only if the car was RWD and had amg package the badge was on it but if it was 4matic and amg package it would always say 4matic badge, the previous owner i know put the amg badge in back and front grill but its ok i guess its not like i have s63 or v8 kompressor badges lol

This is factually incorrect. None of the W221 AMG bodied S550's (RWD or 4matic) came with AMG badges from the factory during any years of the production run in the US. Not sure about Europe though.

Go onto Cars.com, pull up 2007 S550's, then look for cars with the AMG body package. Out of the 10 or so that I looked at with that package, not even 1 of them had the AMG badge.
