I was thinking about getting them too, but the other ones on ebay with the smoked center. I cant really tell from the pics on ebay if the lights are really smoked in the center or clear like the ones you are looking at. The reason i want them is because they are LED on top and bottom. I have the S-class style tail lights on mine now, and they fit very well, and these are made the same way so i would assume they fit well too. https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ally-done.html

Those look like they are made by Eagle Eye...pretty poor quality wiring and LED set up but as straight appearance goes they don't look to bad (especially for the price)

I am actually in Florida, so would that make it hard to do? I would actually like to get a set of Facelift replicas on ebay that have the top and bottom LED, then have those smoked. Would it be a grey paint or would it be a film like tint? How long would it last you think? If it's possible, then PM me and i would definitely be interested.

Well I ordered a set curious to see how they look and work. The oem ones are alot more money then 250 shipped you can even get one tail light for that. I'm a big oem person but on tail lights not to crazy about having to buy any but I need to so will give these a shot. I wouldn't be doing it but my drivers side tail needs replaced.

Well guys i got the lights and mounted them up on my car fitment was great and they look oem for sure and function perfect. Below is some pictures let me know what you think.

Also these lights are made by DEPO and in the past i have found them to be the best in quality and look if your not going to go OEM.

PM'd you...sorry for the late reply.

Also, those DEPO's look great. They are my top choice if you are going aftermarket.

Hmm... Too bad you're not closer, I'd love to check those out in person.

Could you perhaps get any higher resolution pics?

And if possible, a pic of the lights in action?

I am always hesitant to buy aftermarket taillights.

With my experience, i've never seen a set that didn't either have a leak, or fog up after washing because of bad seals.

I would even go as far as injecting a bead of silicone around the entire edge (if possible without seeing it) of where the lens is sealed to the housing.

Maybe DEPO lights are made better than ones i've had before, but just a suggestion.

I was going to say that the Ebay link said they are depos and depos are usually top notch. So I would def buy them for $250. OEMS are more than double that price. I am thinking about getting them now too.

Here is some better pictures guys of the lights as requested. Also even my dealer cost on the OEM ones is still over 300 dollars each just a heads up to you guys.

look flawless. Cant decide if I should do this mod or keep the OEMs. Dont know whick i like better yet. I think its a toss up but this updates the rear to the new style.

Looks good, thanks for the pics!

If you have time, think you could get some pics of them lit up? I'm curious to see the pattern of the LED's when lit.
