W124 owners better dust off your credit cards ........

Nice, but looks like the indicator and reverse lamps are still conventional bulbs.

Or they have the multi-LED 'bulbs' in the holders , i wonder if these lights come with a resistor thing ? when i put LED bulbs in my w124, the bulb failure light came on ....

Could be, but i wouldnt expect to see any yellow. The ones I use are all clear untill they light up. Your bulb light warning is normal when using multi-led bulbs, you can always put a load resistor on each bulb to fool the bulb failure circuit, ultraleds.co.uk is a great site, they do a pair for around £6 i think. The resistors are a must if you replace the indicators, as they'll flash too fast otherwise.

It would have been nice to see them lit up.Nothing special looking otherwise.

They are expensive too, you could buy a set of facelifted rear lenses for £60, a set of red, white and amber LED bulbs with resistors for £20 and hey presto , its done, save yourself £80.

or think "hey, they'd look really tacky on my W124" and not buy them saving yourself £169.95

 

[Howard]

Why would they loook tacky ?

They are almost identical to the facelift lights.......

Howard, I think the keyword there is "almost".

Not many cars look as good as the W124 and most mods which look "almost" identical detract from the original clean lines.

I reckon that any "improvements" have to be incredibly subtle to work well. An inch on wheel size looks great whereas going up 2 looks awful, lowering the car 30mm (just like a sportline came out the factory) looks perfect but go any further and the car loses it's "shape".

I realise it's all subjective but in my opinion those lights would ruin the back of the car - mind you, I never really like the overall look of the facelifted W124s - couldn't see the point of the plastic side panels

The plastic side panels are there to catch water and dirt and help the door to rust quicker......
