Show us your W204...

In case anyone is thinking of doing this. I replaced all my exterior wedges (sides and numberplate) with led. I used a brand called ultraled, had no flickers or melting issues since install in March.

here's a pic showing the difference in the sides:

I also changed the orange indicator bulbs to chromed Osram, look silver, flash orange:

Just neatens up the outside.

Next step is leds in the fogs, which I only use as surround lighting, so they match the sides.



Where did you get LED's from?

Done the same except I went for halogen rather than led, hurt my fingers enough to risk doing it twice if they eventually failed lol
 
This is mine got it today 39k on the clock and a great service history it's a C250 GDI sport with AMG pack, in palladium silver
First impression's are I love it, much better than my old car a BMW 320 ci

My W204, gone but not forgotten. Was an C180 SE Exec with Premium plus

Poor pic, and I can't seem to add more than one!

I have albums on my profile page though if anyone's that interested!

Nice thread, always like looking a photos of cars!
Me to .. think we have got some enthusiasm going for the W204.. As I said on another thread a good later model with the bigger engines and obv a full service history makes a great buy.. think what you have to pay now for a new or nearly new 150mph 5 seater luxury car !!??.. my other passions are classic Mini Cooper and S..up to the Mk3 in 71..also Golf GTI MK 1 and 2 types.. I have owned many of both.. but I still wouldn't swap mine.. 33 k for a High spec GTI and R spec that's a lot of money.. my first new mk 2 GTI cost me 6000 with extras, alloys,sunroof and dual headlights..in mars red.. what a car that was !!!.... foxy52
 
Here's some pics of me sticking some nice white leds in the fogs, to match the sides.

I dont use them as fogs you see, I use them for the lighting when you lock/unlock.

Does the corner lighting function still work with those?
 
I don't think I ever had it, it's a preface 2008 model.
 
I'd imagine they still would. Although the leds were marked Canbus I knew they wouldn't work without inline resistors so I have those too.
