Does anyone know of an upgrade to the std.'92 lights?. A later year eg, better back-up lights?

That is about the latest mod for my 1990 SL...I swapped the taillight lenses last Saturday.

The 1995-1999 red taillights...

Both taillights besides each other...

The smoother 99up taillight...

The 1989-1995 (euro) taillights had amber corners...I haven't noticed any improvement in the back-up lights...
What is it that you want to know?

greetingz,

Yes, they were bolt-in. If you open/remove the inner part of the taillight (the one that holds the bulbs) you will see 6 nuts (8mm head) that need to be unscrewed after which the inner reflector can be taken off and the outer lens can be taken out.

greetingz,
