do u have a part #? is there a difference of 06 to 07 red/smoked?

I haven't had any issues. I just got them, then got broken into. When my new wheels come in I will have them readjusted as I rub unless I have the abc button pressed 1x to raise it alittle. I luv it. I dump it when parked and raise .5" when driving.

SL55 AMG
The SL55 tail lights look great on all R230's I like the '03-'06 they're a little darker and both are LED but the older ones seem to have smaller leds for a more smooth uniform red stripe when illuminated. I also like the SL550 ones with the clears instead of the smoke...on light colored cars they really pop!
