I never considered it...thought the tail lights were pretty much the same through 05. Send me the link to your source. Would love to actually do the front lights to the clear lens, but not ready to drop 2K on it.

Here is half of my upgrade, the pics do not do justice to the brightness and clarity of the lens and it has the "new" look. I got these for $160 shipped and I plan to do the projector beam 03-05 head lights for $500-600, not Xenons which are a real PITA for aftermarket install, very costly and hard to get to work right based on multiple posts from other forums I am on. I have two sources for lights on my desk at work, I will PM you tomorrow.

I don't know...kinda like the "frumpy" version . I'll go fo the front before I do the rear. Biggest concern still is the ride height on the right rear. Hoping it's not a big deal. Taking it to MB dealer on Monday.

the airmatic suspension has saved spec that the vehicle trys to stay within, these specs can be changed to any desired hieght with the SDS (star diagnosis system) that mercedes provides authorized dealers with. the romess guage works by measuring the angle of the front control arms and the rear axles and calculates a degree of that angle.

Finally fixed. They hooked it up to the machine, raised both sides to the required specs, and performed the alignment. Cost: $230. Rides like new!
