I can't believe this thread was opened in 02 and we still have problems...lol

^^haha yeah right,
i bought the hoens a week ago and finally put them in today, and i love it, not too blue and fake, a nice white light, exactly what i wanted, and its not led so no worries on resistors
imo, best/easiest path to take, great results

nlpamg

just wait a while.

we all have tried those hoens as well. one of mine blew out, others have faded/washed-out...

dynomite05

+1, Tried them a while ago also. LED's from eBay have been the best I have seen

^^ thx for the heads up you two, i guess i'll be putting the stock bulbs and a lil screw driver in the glovebox for when they do blow out then lol, sad to hear though, hopefully i'll get lucky eh?

lol I was just searching on google for some help on some non warning light l.e.d. numberplate bulbs, and this super lenthy thread appeared. Im from the uk, and did buy some l.e.d. bulbs a while back. But sure enough they didnt have built in resisters and just blinked all the time, and showed the warning light! The thing is my ones are about 42mm in lenth for my numberplate lights and I drive a w203 c32 AMG? Anyonw who could through some light for a guy across the pond!lol

maverik259

what exactly are you asking?

maverik259

just search ebay for a set of canbus LED or make sure you get soem that say they have capacitors built in to them...kinda like this thread says on nearly every page

I've read the thread thanks but over the last 2 years Ive noticed there are some interesting fitment differences between my uk spec c32 and the us ones. Therefore I was really seing if there was anyone else from the uk who might have some knowledge on the currect set up. I.e. if you read the post you will notice most people telling us that the bulb fitment could be 32, 36 or 39mm. But mine is 42mm!

maverik259

lol so buy a 42mm bulb if yours is 42...again you just seem to be answering your own question. Thats all im trying to point out. Unless I'm not understanding what your asking. try autolumination.com I've bought most my LED's from them. or try hoen

fully stocked on all lighting

lol no offense man but $50 for a pair of tiny LED's is crazy! I've got a decent amount of experience in electrical engineering and know that the parts for these things are essentially pennies and the labor is not that intensive (assuming its being done by a person and not a machine). Good luck if you can get someone to pay $50 for just license plate bulbs.

Damn this led lighting really is so frustrating! I got these led lights from superbrightleds. They are the 37mm 6led festoon replacement with built in resistors. The left side works perfectly but the right side just goes on and off every 3 seconds. No errors though. I flip flopped the leds and still has the same results. Anyone got any solution for this before I return these back?

dynomite05

I had the same problem, my right side not working. I installed the led by itself without th lens first and it worked. I just popped in the lens after

pawe

I did that, still did not work.
I noticed the leds does not make full contact on the 2 prongs. I think I have 36mm but the leds I got were 37mm so that might be the culprit.
I'll return these leds and get 36mms and see if they will work or not.

dynomite05

I pushed the prongs together a bit cuz the LED was a little small

Guys, Sorry if it's being terribly redundant here but can someone PLEASE help me out? I recently bought the 6418 "non led" plate lights in blue from an e-bay vendor. Sadly or expectedly as I've read in this thread, they melted right through the lens covers on my 02 CL500. I'd like to try led's this time around. Can someone point me in the right direction to which of these I should buy? There must be a dozen different versions on e-bay. Could someone post a link? Many,Many thanks in advance....

gym_tan_laundry

Sorry... Would these work?

stff...and sure as long as they're error free

Hi. I'm interested on buying LED light bulb for my w203 license plate. what is important to know before buying the LED light bulbs? i understand that some bulbs show error that says the bulb is scorched.
furthermore, is anyone familiar with web sites that send such bulbs abroad? also, links with suitable bulbs will be nice.

thanks a lot!

STFF...at least attempt to read this thread that has been going for 8 years...the answers are in there if you try.

4motion

are these bulbs 36mm or 39mm? i need 36mm for my 2006 W203 and it didn't say if they 36 or 39. i hope they error free

maverik259

doesnt say they have built in resistors...i would contact them, but it looks to me as if they dont and thus wont work.
