W209 LED license bulbs

I found this set on eBay, it's made by autolight24 and it ships from Germany. Has anyone tried it? Should I be the guinea pig?

you want good LEDs then check out superbrightleds.com get 4500-5000K bulbs if you want an OEM look or 6000k for a little blue. I personally went with 5000K bulbs all around my car. OH and they ship super fast. I live in Lebanon and it took 7 days from the USA to my doorstep. You want Canbus bulbs for your license plate. Or you could just hardwire resistors which they also sell.

Azn optics is the best and only source for LED and HiDs I have ever tried..:sponsor on here...super fast shipping...and comes with warranty! What more can you ask for? I've had them on four of my cars and have always been completely satisfied

Why do you want to light up your license plate. Hell, I hope the cop has a hard time seeing it. Most are reflective now anyway.

I've been running those for a while. Honestly they're the only modules that haven't failed so far. I went through a ton of plate LEDs, some cheap, some expensive and they all failed after a couple of months/weeks. So yeah, get those.

LEDs give the car a much cleaner refreshed look..you would be surprised at the difference lighting makes in a car...my 05 easily can pass as a much newer car

Besides, I don't think a cop is going to let a little thing like not being able to see your license tag stop him from pulling you over...... if he has to give chase, he won't care what your tag number is.....

Here is the deal: once of my license light covers is missing, and it'll cost about $15-20 + shipping. Add the LED bulbs and I'm right at $30, so why not just get the eBay ones?

Get whichever bulbs you want...just stating from my experience in the past 5 or 6 years never had any issues with azn optics on Benz or bmw...even the canbus LEDs can flicker at startup or do real weird things...

LEDs flicker on startup because the car sends a small current to test resistance on the bulb that causes a flicker on an LED bulb because all it needs is a small current to turn on. I've also had a flawless experience with superbrightleds hell i even have a good experience with some cheap 35$ 21 bulb kit from aliexpress the only reason i switched over was because i wanted a more OEM look then 6000K bulb and they didn't have that.

I ended up ordering the eBay ones. I will post up a pic and a quick review once I get them in.

Btw, is there an easier/quicker way to post up pics other than photobucket?
