Some of you know this, but for those who haven't checked, we've released a new V5.2a model that uses the latest CREE XBD chipset. Wrapped in a heat shielding shell with gel coat, these might look small, but pack a well balanced brightness while burning cooler than previous designs. Check them out!
I have the new ones and they work well. I do wish they fit the socket a bit tighter like a regular W5W bulb. I had to squish my internal socket connections together with a flat blade screwdriver so the bulb would fit snugly.

Is there a way to upgrade the bulb in the side view mirrors that shines on the ground when you unlock the car? Mine are pretty dim, and would love to make them brighter.

I have no idea, I've only owned my car for a few weeks. It's a light bulb, so it has to be a serviceable item as they don't last forever, especially since it's not an LED, so I'd imagine that you can swap them fairly painlessly.
I believe the side mirror bulbs are 194 wedge bulbs. Have to disassemble the hole housing assembly to get access to it though. I think I recall a DIY someone posted a long time ago here.

We can put a custom discounted package together for you. Since you already have lighting package, there will be less bulbs to replace. Outside, markers, reverse, brake... And all interior still. Shoot me a PM or email us directly at aznoptics@gmail.com with what you want to replace and we'll package discount for you.
Will those new bulbs prevent flickering and last longer? I'm debating in going back to the stock bulbs to prevent future frustration with these canbus LEDs.
Come join us at Mercedes Benz EXKLUSIV, an all Mercedes event - Sat. Sept. 9 2017. Long Beach, CA between 10am to 2pm. We will be having on site discounts throughout the event.
