installing SL55 smoked taillights on a SL500...

is *******g HARD.. After 2.5 hours, I gave up. I'm going to talk to the stealership and try to negotiate a somewhat reasonable price.

Anyone else successfully installed SL55 tail lights? Suggestions?

Yes the lamps are a little hard to install. My friend got his tail lights smoked out at this place in LA. I was there when they removed the lamps. They did take a little extra time removing and installing. By the way his lights came out great. the place was www.smokedlamps.com

Are you trying installing a pair of factory lenses?
