CLS W219 facelift LED Tail lights modules
 

Hello,

As promised on anoter thread, i'm happy to
Show you the video of the first Plug & Play module,
that allows you to swap your old Tail lights for the
LED Tail lights from the 2009+ facelift model.

Every lights work perfectly without generating any error on
Your Instrument Cluster.

To upgrade your tail lights, you'll have to remove the plastic traverse in the trunk to Access all bolts, and bend a little bit side carpets.
Then, unscrew the 5 bolts of the Tail light, swap it with the new one, fix it with the 5 bolts, plug the module on your OEM connector (harness of the car), without cutting anything, and plug the other connector (from the module) to your new Tail light. Then you'll just have to attach the module on the traverse bar above the rear SAM, and that's it ! :)

As you will see on the video, the sample is not completely finished, need to drill a hole In the box to run wires Safely out of it.
Everything will be ok on the finished product.

Regards,
Frenchy.

Frenchy :)

i think you'll have a problem on the passenger side.good luck and keep us posted.

Hello,

What kind of problem ?
Accessibility or something else ?
I've tested the pinout of the Passenger Tail light, and it's the same as the driver Side.

Tomorrow, i will finish the installation and will take some pics and video.

Frenchy.

the signal on passenger side will not work.you need to add a regular bulb for it to work. that was i've seen them doing.
