Hi All,

I am looking to install the led plate lights for my 2010 ML350, I did some research on the forum, looks like none of the led plate lights will work for a 2009+ ml350, they all throw errors.

If you have successful installed led plate lights without any errors for your 2009+ ML350, can you kindly help and tell me where you got the bulbs.

Many thanks and happy new year.

I installed error free bulbs and they throw errors

Simom.Benz

Yeah, wondering what bulbs wont throw erroes?

I have these and they give off an led/blue look, but they're not that bright. I tried Aznoptics, PIAA, Philips, iJDMtoy and have now given up on LEDs since they all throw errors.

Hi UR2SLO, thanks for the link, I wonder how bright they are, do you have a pic with these bulbs on your car? Thanks.

UR2SLO

No but I can post one later today or within the next few days

Simom.Benz

That would be great!!! Thanks UR2SL0.

Found out my bulb lenses/plastic covers were pitted outside and inside, so I cleaned them thoroughly and changed the bulbs since they broke (the ends on these bulbs are not soldered on well, so good thing I bought a bunch). They're actually pretty bright/decent especially for the price. And most important they DONT throw errors.

Simom.Benz

They look nice!! Thanks UR2SLO, I will buy them today.

UR2SLO

I would suggest buying 4+ pairs like I did. I had one burn out on me (could of been due to a loose end). Also when taking out or installing the bulbs you could break a corner as they are not soldered well.

Simom.Benz

Yeah, I ordered 4 pairs, thanks...

UR2SLO

Hopefully thats enough. One of mine just burned out (guessing the end broke inside) in only a few days. What a pain.

i tried those and they melt the cover and very hot! about 140F I have to replace back to OEM. I did smell a plastic burn..

AZN Optics, search them on the forum. Very popular here for many Mercedes models, and have all types of bulbs.
ZERO ERRORS & GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! CA based, fast shipping.

I have their bulbs in my ML and have had ZERO issues in 1.5years+

Yes, but yours is a '06. On '08 and up it gives error codes.

Frank1298

so you guys have tried the led with canbus and still having the error issue?

OUZO Power

Unfortunately many don't read the topic in great detail and I have noticed all those that claim they have found bulbs that work have MY 06-08.

Till this day I have tried 15 different sets. None of them have worked on a 09-11 without throwing any error codes.

I'm going to try something new soon with LED's without built in resistors and I'm going to add my own resistors soldered on to them.

Frank1298

Gotcha im working on changing over my interior light to led and I will see if I have and luck with the set that im gonna order from.
