Hello....

Got these myself to replace the aged looking bulbs in my E-Class and thought I would share.

No Errors - Look fantastic and 1 Year Warranty, really impressed overall.

I can upload a few photos of them on mine if anyones interested....

MERCEDES BENZ W211 No Error Number Plate LED Bulb HID on eBay (end time 25-Mar-11 04:58:36 GMT)

I also got front sidelight LED's, again very impressed - match the factory Xenon's like they were made for the car.

Not blue. very crisp white again no errors - no flickering etc.

Again, if you want photo's - just ask and I will assist.

8 LED SMD SIDE LIGHT VAUXHALL FORD CANBUS 501 CAN BUS on eBay (end time 11-Mar-11 12:05:13 GMT)

These LED's give the car a more modern look, facelift look even for a very reasonable price.

Would be great if you could upload some pics Charlie.

Thanks

Here you go Dean, sorry about the lack of quality - iPhone pics this morning, I will get proper ones later when the light goes down a bit.

Excuse the seriously stupid looking front plate, the previous one got cracked by a large stone and this off my old Impreza was a temp fix until the real one arrives hopefully today!!

Perfect, thanks Charlie. They look really good. Might have to invest in a set. Am looking to change all my dash bulbs this summer so may as well go the whole hog!
 
Thank you for this, just done my front side lights to match the xenon's, will do these now to!
 
i just ordered a set also

if i like ill spread the word would be great if killerhertz sold them

Trevor you should have asked me! I have some. And the matching sidelights. Would have sent them with the backbox if you told me you needed some.
 
Trouble with these, as KillerHERTZ pointed out to me, is that while they are great for number plates, they are useless on the inside of the car, cause you'll use the dimming/fade affect :(

That said, i'd like a couple for the rear number plate lights, however the ebay seller only accepts prey-pal as far as i can see, so no good to me, as i wont get one of those

I'm sure if you ask the seller, he may take alternative payment methods.

Great mod, so cheap yet it looks impressive and updated.
 
Basically NW Merc, these are great for cars (like the W211) that through up bulb failure errors after fitting LED bulbs.

If yours has no bulb failure system, you can go for "normal" LED bulbs (which are cheaper too) to replace your standard bulb if you are after the white look numberplate lighting that I wanted.

MOB - I'm not clued up on all Mercedes model numbers, but if yours has a bulb failure feature - and the bulbs are festoon 36mm, they are spot on.
 
Doesnt seem to be that much demand at the mo :( otherwise I would import some over...

Thanks for the pm'd offer for the sides mate, turned out I had LEDsides already.

Just put these on my rear plates though, and initial reactions are WOW :-)

Did notice they were a lil loose fitting in the lens covers though unlike the original bulbs I took out, and needed facing just so and then pushing in to keet the shiny face facing out lol, but seem to fit in there fine once pushed in.
 
Thanks for the tip guys. My pair of bulbs arrived today and are working fine with no errors. Not bad at a tenner for 2. Looks really great! :bannana:

I have the same ones, but the side lights look slightly blue, say 6000k.

Does anyone know where to get pure white to match the original O.E. 4300k xenon headlamps
 
KillerHERTZ is probably the man to ask, he's looked around at various ones i believe so he may know where to find what your looking for
