Interior LED kit...Posting here before Classifieds...
Well...I WAY over bought when it comes to what you actually need for converting your interior to LED's.
I bought the ijmd stuff...added additional bulbs for my plates...then ordered more 36mm 6 SMD's for my rear footwells (and over-ordered because I forgot two came in each pack).
And so I actually have enough leftover to do another W211 (E55) without Pano - I think the Pano's have another set of lights up in the back.
Anyway. What I did on mine were blue LED's (36mm 6 SMD) on the lights that shine down from your doors...four of them...
Two LED's on the rear Plates.
Two LED's for the front domes.
Two LED's for the rear domes.
It would take you about 30 minutes to install all of this and I'm happy to coach you. Well...the front dome can take a little longer because the rearview mirror can be a pain in the ***.
I did NOT do my footwells because no matter what I did I couldn't get the rears to stop blinking. So I just left all the footwells factory and it looks great.
The LED's:
What it looks like (my car):
(that's my car...with just these bulbs)
If any E55/E63'ers are interested...let me know... They cost me $15 a set x 5 plus shipping...
So I figure $50 plus shipping ($10) for anyone in the US is a cool thing for the board.

The LED's work just fine in the front foot wells...but in the rear everyone's seem to flash.

Do these LED setups you guys are running support the fade in and out as well as the footwell glow that the factory bulbs support?

36mm 6SMD for the footwells, "puddle lights" (the ones that shine down from the doors), visor lights, and glove box.
T10 5SMD for the dome lights (that go on when the doors are open) and "map lights" (that shine down from your mirrors).
Those are the only two sizes you need for all of the interior ones. For the license plate, you need 42mm 6SMD LED's. In the trunk, it's the 36MM ones again.
'Hope that helps!
(Oh...and all the "6SMD" or "5SMD" stuff...that's just the number of LED's on the actual product....a 6SMD thingy has 6 LEDs on it...)

ok, i have a w212 but this forum seems a little more active at least on this topic. btw, pullejo, your little smurf looks cool ! so here are the things i would like to know. i have a e550 w/p1, no p2, and want to change a bunch of light bulbs .
1. first thing first, hid kit for low beams. is it really that much of a different between 35w and 55w? how about slim and regular ballasts? i've read someone said slim makes the light a little more blue. will it? who would you order the kit and bulbs from, ijdmtoy or aznoptics ?
2. i just need a pair of 194 wedge led for city lights (inner lights), right?
3. same as license plate, just 1 pair of 194 wedge led?
4. would you recommend changing both the drl and fog to led bulbs or hid kits? are they sh23w (p13w) and h11?
5. trunk. also 194 wedge led and just need 1 piece, right?
6. 1 pair of 6418 led for license plate?
7. how about the lights underneath the side mirrors? what size are they?
8. 2 pairs of side door courtesy lights but what size are they, 194 wedge led?
9. 1 pair of front map lights, 194 wedge led again, right?
10. 1 piece of center dome and 1 pair of rear dome. i think they are festoons but what sizes are they?
11. 2 pairs of foot area light, what size?
12. 1 piece glove box light, what size?
sorry for the long list but am i missing anything ? how hard/easy to have everything diy except hid kit for low beams? pics/video instructions are much appreciated. i've been doing research on these like crazy . thanks a million in advance !!!
