I've used the LED bulbs on my W202 license plate bulbs w/no issues - i.e. bulb out light DID not illuminate, they look good too.

Never thought about black light! Man im really curious to see how that looks, after you post pics, i wanna know the site to get em from, I just had my carpet re-dyed and its damn near white now, not grey anymore, looks great, i know black lighting would be insane in there.

You could also order from http://oempartsdirect.com/ if the dealer is overpricing it like crazy or you just don't want to make the trip down there.

MSRP Pricing: $10.00
OEMPartsDirect Price: $8.20
25% Off For MBWorld.org: $6.15

No idea what shipping is, but expect $6.15 + shipping.

Lets see...I like blue for the interior, however I can't find blue interior bulbs that don't fade...I've already gone through some cheap blue domes in 1 week...now the door bottoms, are those called puddle lights?? They are on the botom of the door when it opens? I actually havent looked for those yet...vanities I'm gonna leave alone cuz of the chicks...they need the stupid light..plus the map lights I'm leaving alone..they're pretty bright anyways..

Actually my driver's side vanity doesn't work...I had the dealer put a new bulb in recently for me, it worked for a couple tries and then it didnt work again...I think there is something wrong with the mechanism that turns it on and off? any way to maybe fix it or see what the prob is?

I watched a Tuning show on TV a few days back. Some tuners are using some black light bulbs to make the license plate glow on itself in the dark.. it looks really nice since there will be uneven brightness..

i will try to find more information and will let u guys know.
