Tail Light Upgrade ?

My Sl600 has all red tail lights and i was considering upgrading them while it sits under the cover for the winter days.

What would be the best upgrade to do?

Well your not gonna get the old amg lights so that leaves you with 2 options. The red and clear ones that come on the '06 & up non amg models which will give you a more up to date look, or the crystal red and smoked ones that come on the newer amgs which is a more aggressive look. If you have the sport model that has the amg kit I would go for the smoked. what color is the car?

My 2006 has the all red and i liked the way the smokes would go with the dark blue. I was looking at these. So i was going for the more amg look. Aren't there newer sl63 that were on the r230 body fit this car?

I see you are in Jersey. If you are going to pay that much to get it from overseas, I would recommend you get it from parts.com instead.
