Not sure for your app, but ml ML used the 3610 festoons. Take out your old bulb and measure the length if it is a festoon type, or see if it is a wedge base type like the 194 and such. My ML was 36mm long (measured roughly tip to tip)

WOW only $1.89 a bulb? I think its safe to say people will want to use that bulb instead of the 20 dollar set im using.

I will be able to get you guys a full kit for interior lights and rear plate lights (9 total) for $30 fillament-style and $37 LED's (plus shipping- $10 FedEx ground, $14 FedEx 3-day) for a limited period of time after which the price mayraise. These things are the best available and I will stand behind their quality 100% and be able to offer a 1-year warranty which I may soon be able to extend to lifetime and, if so, it will be retroactive to everyone had ordered them from me. If anyone is in the DFW area and wants a discount to let me take pics of them installed in your car let me know.

I can also get sets for E- and SLK-classes. I should also be able to put together a set for pretty-much anything else.


HOWEVER, I must obtain sponsorship with MBWorld.org before I can sell to any of you guys even through PM's or email. Because you read about it here and it is against the TOU to advertise here without being a sponsor I cannot do any business with you guys until I'm a sponsor. I could probably get away with it for a little while but I'd rather do things properly (so please don't even ask). Don't worry, I'm working on becomming a sponsor

please post some pics

rcltrh thanks for the info. I just ordered a pair for both of my cars. $19.50 shipped. I'll take pics when they come in.

b3d_sage

guess what? Lifetime warranty now!

if anyone wants a set for any other Mercedes (or any other car for that matter) get with me and I can have a new SKU made for that car...

still working on it...

pics please!

ok so the screws on my license plate light covers are crazy tight and i really don't wanna keep taking them off risking stripping them. would anyone happen to know how many milimeters the license plate lights are? much appreciated fellas

b3d_sage

here you go! The "installed" pics here are of a BMW however hopefully I will be able to get some of them installed in my car up later. Please do not reuse these pics without permission. I wish I could direct you to my website but I'm still setting up this business and Yahoo business solutions is being a ***** right now

mbny

pics look good but i think i prefer the soothing setting of the more yellowish regular bulbs for the interior. look like good bulbs though and the perfect amount of color. most that i see are coated with too much blue

mbny

ok so i just placed my order with superbrightleds.com

ordered white single led for the front city lights, white 39mm license plate replacements w/ 3 led's each, and the 1156 wide range 24-led turn signals. what do u guys think? i'll post pics when i install everything (hopefully i ordered the right stuff )

mig888

LED bulbs for turn signals right? I'm almost positive I know which ones you're talking about, but to clarify, try to snag and post the pictures of the bulbs you're looking at.

They had this up though, did you add the electronic flasher unit as well?

"LED brake/tail lamps will not flash with thermal flasher units due to their extremely low current draw. These installations will require an electronic flasher unit, available in our car bulb shopping category (for some vehicles) or at your auto parts store. Try to find flashers designed to work with LED bulbs, they will say "LED compatible". Often HEAVY DUTY flashers will also work with LED bulbs.
Another fix is the installation of Load Resistors which are wired across (in parallel with) the turn signal bulbs to simulate the load of a standard filament bulb. We also have these available in our car bulb shopping category."

Or maybe the load resistor setups as well.

I will have some invisible turn signals, too... both silvery-frosted and chome. but, of course, they light up amber. they are fillament though, not LED

mbny

hmm, i was under the impression that the built-in resistors or whatever took care of this. looks like i may have been wrong. anyone know for sure?

DACHIGGA

Oh BTW, just for those who are curious, my licence plate bulbs have 8 LEDs. Also, the bulbs you ordered will not work with the licence plate lights, same with the 1156 and city lights, they will show a bulb out warning and not turn on.

if you carefully read this page http://superbrightleds.com/carbulb-notes.htm

you will know why. Also don't be confused by "Built-in current limiting resistors" this are not the same as Load-Equalizing resistors.

nlpamg

awesome! can't wait to get mine!

mbny

great! that sucks, thanks for the heads up

any links you can provide which will help me add some of these necessary resistors? thanks man

DACHIGGA

No problem, but everythign I do is pretty much from hand's on experience, so I don't know of any links I can provide.unless you can soder, you will not be able to add resistors to the dome lights as they are not plug and play like mine, but you can still use them for the interior, but, there might be a slight problem as they will always be on. By this I mean that, since all MB interior lights have a small current running through them even when off, the LEDs due to being far more efficient, might be dimly lit even when off. Bare in mind thismight or might not occur, but to my knowledge and expericence, it probably will.

As for the other lights such as the city lights or 1156s, they will need seperate load equalizers much like xenon fogs and such (I have these on my car as well), most off them (load equalizers / resistors) come with spice taps on one and and ground at the other. They attach in parralel, so one end at the positive of the light and the other at the ground. PM me if you need any more info.

Just got my 3910 39mm 6-LED Festoon bulbs from Superbrightleds.com. I was able to put them in, but after doing so, for some reason it doesn't stay on, it just blinks every so often, does anyone know why it is doing this? i put the stock one back in and it stays on constant. Please help!!!

DACHIGGA

WEll, I've said this over a million times, you need resistors, that is why, when I put in my bulbs, there is no warning messages and do not turn off, if you search the forum, hell read this thread over, I think I've mentioned several times that conventional LEDs will not work with the MB setup.

nlpamg

Well, I got the custom made bulbs from DACHIGGA and they're great! There's a slight problem with one of the bulbs, but I think it might have gotten damaged during shipment, not the bulb itself.

Here are some pics of the final verdict, a comparison, and the bulbs.

I like it!

Thanks DACHIGGA!

mbny

i just got mine today from superbrightleds.com and as dachigga stated, they in fact do not work. the city lights and license plate bulbs blink and don't stay on constant.

DACHIGGA: hook me up with a set of your license plate lights bro. how much? send me a PM. thanks

also, can anyone instruct me on how i can add a resistor to the city lights? the license plate ones seem too complicated for me, but the wedge bulbs seem like something i can easily handle. thanks

ChaRgeC230

those look nice.. how much was it? DACHIGGA send me a PM thanks.
