pretty good find there, might be just the solution for that dull yellow appearance! Not bad for 40 bucks?

flip

installing them is not THAT hard. I took apart all my lights with a mini flathead. Don't have to waste any time trying to convince the dealership to install them for you .

Good find! Only thing is, from looking at the package deal they have available, doesn't it seem that it's for the w202 and not the w203? The cars it indicates are the 230/320/C43.

The dealership I believe will not touch this. I was looking into this in the past as my next project, and let me tell you something this is not an easy project at all. The bulbs may over heat and melt the plastic.. etc.

I say the bulbs are a rip off, basically normal bulbs died blue, if you want a real interior lighting upgrade, go with LEDs.

Just a little aside, exept for the bulbs in my taillights, all the lights on my car, are LEDs and or/HIDs and I mean all, except for maybe the ones in the cluster, I don't know what those are.

you could always refer to your cars bible (just as think as one) the owners manual. in there, it show step by step how to replace the blubs in the interior.

The bulbs ARE BLUE. When you turn them on, the BLUE TINTED BULB acts as a color correction filter, much like the one you put on an SLR to shoot NL under tungsten lighting. However, those lights actually have to use more wattage to make the same amount of light, and its not really white, just less yellow than your eye is used to....so it appears whiter.

LED's are preferable.
