Have anyone installed LED interior lights in W208?

CJackson13

plenty of people have. what do you want to know about it?

are you talking about the overhead/dome lights or dash lights?

Winhard

Yes.. overhead/dome lights . I'm looking at the Xenon White color ones from Ebay. Do they look odd? Do the newer MB models use LED interior bulbs?

Odd is relative. You never know until you try. Give us the link.

Those are the same ones I used. They look significantly different than stock for sure. The light is much much brighter and it's really white.

All of my interior lights below have been replaced from ugly yellow to bright white. Bulbs run hotter than normal stock ones but they have lasted for 2+ years now with no issues.

I have had LEDs on the interior for quite some time and love them. My posts will point to the threads if you search.

Can you post which size LEDs you used? They don't come in exactly the right size, you probably have to stretch the contacts, right? I put a set in my license plate lights, but had to stretch a lot. I tried some on the dome lights, but they blew out within a few minutes, maybe that was just a really crappy batch.

Hello,

I replaced my front/back dome, reader, glovebox, courtesy, vanity, trunk, and license plate. I used festoon type 36mm, 39mm or 42mm and wedge T10 white LEDs.

Just buy Canbus LED to make sure you dont have error on instrument and make sure the width & length it can get into the housing. You dont have to match exact bulb length i.e. 42mm LED to 45mm bulb for front dome, etc. it can vary couple of mm as long as the LED can be mounted to the housing. Good luck!

Oh and just to be sure, turn the light off and unplug the housing from the cable before switching bulb to LED. Or just make sure you have fuse ready in case you break them.
