wow looks very good!
congrats!

I got my 55 amg tail lights and tried to put them myself yesterday.
After I realized I have to take the whole trunk apart, I decided to bring to stealership.

do you know how much they will charge me for swapping the tail lights by any chance?

SL550
I think both of the 07+ taillights look good, but I switched my red/clear lights out for the red/smoked (07+ SL55/63/65-style, where the smoked part is more transparent than the 03-06). I got them on eBay for $600-700 if I remember correctly.

I had these lights on my '03 SL500 before I got the SL550 (the dealer switched them out for me upon trade-in), so I know they're a fit for any R230 SL regardless of model year. Here's a link to an eBay auction for the same lights I have, and I'm pretty sure this was the same seller (can't remember for sure...was over a year ago).

Ok, I'll try this thing after the paint. Someone damaged my front bumper, so going to service today. Leaving me without my beauty for 3 days..

Yes you will see the screws directly above your head once you look in , trust me is easy , but be very gentle when taking off the trunk lid pad , and the worse that can happen is to come up with some broken tabs . ( but I'm 5 minutes from the dealer don't know about you )

Hah Well, I took mine today to workshop, so I asked them to do it, while they will be painting my front bumper and spoiler.

Hope to get it in few days, then a photo shoot is coming!!
