Hi I was wondering if anyone did a full inside led bulb swamp from the interior lights to the trunk and led license plate.

I swapped out my license plate lights with LED's and they look great.

there are a couple members on here who have done the interior swap but from what they posted some of the interior bulbs are a pain to swap out.

I did a full interior ( minus the guage cluster and switches) and the license plate on my c36. It was super easy. I don't know why the c43 would be that much harder.
Got all my bulbs from:
Superleds.com

They have a vehicle finder that makes it super easy.

Yes, the vanity mirror and cluster lights are the biggest pains. I didn't do the cluster because the w202 is nearly identical to the w201 and that cluster was a b***h!

If the demand is great enough, I can write a full-blown DIY for the interior bulbs with pics.

swapping the cluster bulbs is a piece of cake. Pull cluster, use needle nose pliers to twist bulbs out, replace bulbs, press cluster back in.

I could do it in less than 20 minutes

Hey I was wondering if you guys can give me a good website for the Led trunk swap that actually work and don't burn out fast?

When you say trunk, you mean license plate? If yes, go there: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...2Ffestoon.html

and get the LED Feston Bulb 3610x4. Choose your color, order 2 and you should be all set!

If you want to swap the light in the trunk it's there http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...2Ffestoon.html and it's the LED Feston Bulb 4410x9
