I was looking at LED bulbs www.superbrightleds.com but after researching I found that the CLK uses CANBUS system bulbs... Does anyone here upgraded the outside/inside bulbs to the none yellowish OEM version with no issues?
i'm guessing you want LED lights. your going to need LED lights that match the resistance of normal "yellowish" bulbs. And if your talking about the main headlights then xenon alternatives usually already match the resistance of the old yellow bulb. you want to look for "error-free bulbs". I don't have experience with them. but I'm sure there are posts on the forum about it.
Actually its extremely easy. look closely at the edge of the front dome light towards the mirror. you'll notice a little tab that you can put a screw driver in and the front light cover will pop off. there you can access the dome light. then removing the map lights.. i'm not sure but i'm guessing you'll have a better chance of getting at it by removing the assembly. take a look at this picture I got of this forum. just push the tabs and pull down and it should pop right out.
Unless you have a cabriolet - then you must lower the soft top, remove the plastic trim on top of the windshield, and remove two bolts from the top holding the overhead console in place.
I got the coupe and I was told I don't need canbus bulbs for the interiors? Does for the rear cieling dome light "attached" has two bulb or one and what type and how to remove it?
yes that is correct no interior bulbs are monitored by the canbus, any bulbs will work. I'm not sure how to get that out but I'm pretty sure its one bulb probably the same size as the front dome light. I'm thinking it pops on.

After reading a lot of comments here and in other forum threads, I think I’ll stick with what was designed in by Mercedes-Benz since they actually work. 👍

CLK 220 CDI (W209)
It has two bulbs. I can't remember what type I'm afraid.
You have to just ply it off with a screwdriver and the whole cover and parktronic display assembly comes out. After that there is a black plastic that has to be removed and then the lights are hidden behind like two metal pieces (covers maybe).
When I did it I removed it from the headliner, but couldn't separate the display and the lights from the white plastic. So much so I had to get a mechanic to get into it because I was scared to break it. Its not a big thing, I just didn't have any experience lol.
