The red half won't matter, but if you look at the bottom and not the side of the light, it's clear. That's where it'll shine and cast illumination on the floor in as a puddle light.

Are there Any pictures of 8000K interior LEDs on the w204? i wanted to do a quick comparison before i order

AZN Optics

We've got a w204 scheduled to come in this friday where we can get some pics of 4300K vs 5000K vs 8000K for you to see.

manny26

okay and whats the difference between the physical appearance between a HID and LED kit, for headlights do they look more OEM with LED? Or same

AZN Optics

You don't want LEDs for any forward projecting lights in housing not designed specifically to capture LED light spread. You'll end up with reduced throw distance and light scatter. LEDs are good for indication type lighting (parking, signals, etc) or short distance illumination (interior, rear plates, etc). They will be ok for fogs though as you're not really relying on fogs for road illumination.

For forward projecting lights, you're still better off with HIDs as an upgrade.

hey Mike, just wanted to confirm that the new V5 T10 LED is the correct one to replace the eyebrows.

Thanks

Yes sir

Hello which 5000k vs 8000k match the DRL LED strip on the front bumper the best?

Also- I am in need of w163 dome light bulbs, front floor and front door puddle bulbs. All other LEDs i have put in have flickered. The only way I can get both dome lights, front floor lights, and door puddle lights to work is to replace 1 of the 2 dome lights with a regular bulb.

Please let me know what you have and suggest.

Thanks
charles

Hi Charles

5000K is a better match for the LED strip on the bumper. 8000K has a slight bluish hue which your DRL strip does not have.

As for your w163, dome lights use our 41mm festoon LEDs, floor and door courtesy lights use our 38mm festoon LEDs

You can order directly from our website or if you send us a PM or email us directly at aznoptics@gmail.com we can send you an invoice

Hey Mike, I received my V5 T10 bulbs but they dont fit in the W204 eyebrows and visually they do seem thicker than the ones currently in there now. Did I order the wrong ones?

AZN Optics

They fit, trust me. It is a tighter fit due to where the resistor is positioned. Just grip it by the edge, wiggle it back and forth while applying firm pressure. Once it lined up just right and catches, it'll slide right in. It's a single piece pcb so no worries about breaking it. We. Tried packing in as much technology as possible on very limited real estate.

joshg1001

Okay, will try again and report back. Thanks!

Just putting in a good word for Michael, I was having some issues with some new LEDs for my eyebrow lights. He got back to me immediately after contacting him and sent out some new ones as soon as possible. Great customer service

No such luck with me. I got the Christmas Tree effect on all four v5.1 lamps he sent me. Michael said he'd get me into another set but never heard back. $39 lesson so not so bad.

I got these instead from Amazon for $14 for a set of four and they've been perfect. A lower cost option that ships on Prime with a solid Amazon return policy in case it doesn't work for you.

No flickering, warning messages or any odd behavior to report. Lamps were recently tested in 102degF ambient stop-and-go traffic and the lamps were still lit and not cutting out like the AZN set due to heat.

We didn't send you replacement? Our new v5.1 has new temp sensor technology where if temperature reaches too high where solder degradation could happen, it shuts off power till the unit cools down and re-engages. Some vehicles we've noticed with this run really high temps which causes the effect you're describing. All those who have mentioned this, we've swapped out to a cooler burning design model. Please pm me or email me your contact info so I can check if we did follow up on your exchange.

cvx5832

I just checked my mailbox and no replacement as of this morning.

Thanks. I already emailed you a couple times. You should have my email address in your inbox. Order confirmation #1923

AZN Optics

Oh, that was just late last week. We have you scheduled for a replacement.

manny26

are the new 5.1 lights the one you sent me as a replacement?

AZN Optics

Your order was for 8000k.... V5.1 only comes in 5000k as that's the only color option Samsung chipset comes in currently.

HI Michael,

I have a set for Canbus LEDs for my interior of the 2010 GLK350, the problem is it stays dim lit when i am driving and the only way to shut it off it by hitting the off button which renders the door function useless unless I turn it back on. Do you know of any way instead of using resistors since they get hot and I do not feel comfortable with them installed in the interior.

AZN Optics

Which part of the interior is it?

AzCamel

The front and rear done light, the trunk area works like normal.

AZN Optics

Just to be clear, you're not having this issue with our products right as our stuff are canbus units?

So here's the thing... many people think canbus (meaning coming with built in resistors) LEDs are not necessary for interior because interior are not tied to the signal processor so don't throw codes. However, due to how little power is required to light up an LED, any type of current leakage or slightly energized lines can cause that trickle light to come up. By having a resistor, it removes that as an issue. Now, I get that you don't feel comfortable with the heat that's naturally generated by resistors, but if you take a laser thermometer and take temp readings with a fully lit halogen bulb and compare with a canbus LED, you'll find the temperature pretty comparable. Interior also isn't on all the time so heat really isn't an issue. Footwell lights are really the only constant on, but quality LEDs will have an ambient mode to reduce heat and power during driving. Also interior units aren't weather sealed as they're interior so you do get decent air flow going along with cabin air con to help circulate and cool.

AzCamel

Thank you, I guess I will just run the old normal bulbs in the interior since I don't want to run leds.
