Thanks guys for the compliments. The $80.00 was to put the new LED's on and remove the quad DRLS/fog lights. That was a deal, I would expect a little more, I got lucky. I paid $200 to install the HID/Ballast lights and $20 for the parking HID LED's and lastly another $20 for the HID license plate LEDs. All for $320 but I'm done. So happy!!

I think that's a really good deal since my shop offered me a $300 price just for the DRL Led installation.

Aftermarket HID/ballast? IMO, i think $320 is too steep. Here is california, people are charging $25-50 on installs for HIDs/ballasts.

Anyways, the outcome came out great! Can't wait to post my pictures up!

How much are you going to pay for LED installation?

I'm actually the one going to get paid to install the leds. These will be going on a friend's car. But if I were to charge someone to get these done 80-100 would be my price rang; Max 150. I've done more tedious work and this seems more on the simpler. That's just coming from me since I work at a dealership.

Good for you and your price is much lower than what they usually ask in shops.

I have a 2010 e350 with four round lights. I wanted to convert them to
led lights. Before doing that I did a lot of research and ordered "correct" parts for this job. I thought I had AMG styling package or a sport package. So, I assumed that my bumper had amg styling. I ordered parts number 2078850753 and 207-885-08-53 for right and left side and of course all other necessary parts for the led installation.

Yesterday I took off my original grille cover with the two round lights. When I started to put the new cover, it appeared that it did not fit! It was almost the same size, except the part I ordered was a little bit shorter than needed. So, in other words my present cover with round fog lights is by an inch longer than the one I ordered for the AMG style bumper.

Since I had my cover taken off, I looked at the part number and it is 2128850253 which shows up as Outer grille for E350, E550, E400, W/AMG PKG, w/light pkg on parts dot com website.

Can someone please explain to me which part number I need in order for it to fit properly on my bumper?

I did some more research now. Is it possible that I might need this part number: 2128851853 and 2128851753 taking into consideration that now I have this 2128850253?

If there are any questions, please ask. Thank you in advance.
Sorry to interrupt in between my friend but have you got the leds you were searching for? I am looking to make similar changes so if you can help it would be great... Please help.. Thanks

Hi eraldfranklin,

I was telling Jerome this. That's it 2128851753 , 2128851853 , 2128852174 , 2128852274 get them from parts.com (it was around $178 for all 4 parts shipped, also select 2012 MB E350 for model) and the straight LED DRL's 2049068900 , 2049069000 you have to email that guy ales.lukez@gmail.com and ask for the LED lights with the wires attached. That was $200.00 with shipping. He's from Slovenia but it only took 5 days once he shipped them out. Or you can pay $166.00 for the LED's on parts.com, your choice.

Just be clear, to order the Straight LED DRL's from Ales it is $200 for the L/R pair including shipping, total. From parts.com it is $166 for each the left and right, then tax, then shipping, figure on around $400 with shipping.

How you did this?

$400 is a small price to pay for something that came out so nice... plus the satisfaction of having done this yourself, congrats again.

You have to pull the switch - same way as you would turn on your fog lights. So, from position A turn it clockwise once and then pull the switch. Your LED's will shine I hope it helps.

Have anyone tried connecting both wires the fog light wires and the drl wires together to the LED's? I think if you do this, you can have the led's work as drl and you can control them as fog lights if needed.
