Hi,
Hoping someone can help. Has anyone successfully changed their W210 indicators to LEDs? I bought these 2x 18SMD LED BAU15s PY21W 581 CANBUS Indicator Light Bulbs Amber off-set pins | eBay which arrived today. Tried one in the O/S front and it didn't work, so thought oh maybe its the LEDs and the other didn't work either. Then I tried one in the O/S rear and wow it worked! SO I put the other in the N/S rear and oh it didn't work Then I proceeded to swap them around, sticking the one that was working from the O/S into the N/S and that didn't work. Tried the one that wasn't working from the N/S rear and moved it into the O/S rear and it worked. So the LEDs are fine as far as I can see, easily as bright as the originals! Nice if I can get them working properly. Do I need those load resistors? I've been reading various other posts about adding them which I don't mind doing but which ones do I need? Will these work? I read they were for things like flashing too fast or canbus errors but my LEDs are apparently error free
2 X LED Turn Signal Load Resistor Blinker Fix 50W 6ohm | eBay
I've successfully replaced the number plate ones without having to modify anything and had no errors, these work really well and have done for months so far (they were originally £4.99 though):
