2002 Mercedes Benz C230 Coupe
The lights come in a complete housing and are not simply replacement bulbs. If you go with this method you are still going to have to remove all the lining and brackets for the Coupe.
How about tell us something we don't already know?
Then again, what would I know since I just sit around and rely on picture DIY's.

Just received the new W203 Racing Dash LED lighs from XCI Motorsport.
The lights are REALLY bright but unfortunately these will not fit the CL203 without a little work. There is an extended edge on the housing for the Coupe so if you don't want the gap in b/w the light and your trunk then you will have to cut the stock housing and retrofit it with the Racing Dash housing.
I don't want to do any cutting before I have a second set of license plate light housings from MB. Once I do then I can fit them with the Racing Dash lights and get rid of the extra space.
I'm still running hoen in the Coupe for now and the Racing Dash lights are in the W203. Very easy install, just plug and play!

2005 mercedes C230 Kompressor Sedan
I own a 2005 C230 Kompressor Sedan. I just replaced all the interior lights, door lights (under the two front doors), and two license plate lights with ridiculously super bright white LEDs all for about $50 ($65 if you include shipping). I got them at SuperbrightLEDs.com, the license plate lights were error free because they had resistors and drivers already built into them (they're like $6 a piece). Figured i'd let ya'll know so that way you don't pay $30 a piece off of ebay or some gargbage. I'll post pics if you want them, but they are seriously the brightest LED i've ever installed in any of my cars. Just my $0.02

thanks
I wrote to them and this is their reply!!!
I'm sorry but "W5WB" doesn't cross reference any of our bulbs.
Check the base type and dimensions of your bulbs, then see if we
offer the bulbs in our Car Bulb or Other Bulb categories. Use the
"more info" buttons on these pages to see dimensional drawings and
compare with your bulbs.
Also, please read our Car Bulb Notes page. It contains very
important information that you should know before changing over to
LED bulbs.
None of our car bulbs have built in load resistors.

HOEN has introduced their dLED V2 license plate lights but have only tested to work on Porsche at the moment. I have a set on the way and will keep everyone updated on whether the new design will last longer than their previous version.

The seller seems to claim that they are error free and theres a pic of the lights on a C class. Its hit or miss with these ebay lights...

I hope so too.
The problem with the V1 was heat. The new version has the circuits built into the metal tabs which dissipates heat on the metal contacts versus directly onto the board to aid in keeping the leds cool.
