Bought PIAA Xtreme White 19172's, and installed today.
Here's the picture (taken with iphone while it was still kinda bright outside) with stock light on the pass side and 172 on the driver's.
Is it me or does it look less bright than the OEM? (I don't know how old the 'old' ones are, but could be 6 y/o)

I need some help. Recently bought the 5000k led city lights from Azn Optics, but my headlights are too yellow and I'd like to match the city lights with 5000k or 6000k hids or bulbs
What would you recommend?
I found a 35w kit on ddm tuning - http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DD...ast-35W-or-55W
Would this give me any errors or flickering? Would I need to get the error code eliminator too?

Team,

Sorry if I'm asking a question that has been asked/answered before, but I've searched this forum and couldn't come up with an answer.
I have a C230K SS with factory-installed bi xenon lights. Yesterday my left light came on but the color was kind of blue/purple-ish. Today, the light comes on briefly, then it starts to blink and I get a message on my dash "Low Beam, L check light".
What could be the problem? Please help.

Thanks for your help as always.

Mtu.

Turning purple is the sign of a dying bulb. Try swapping sides, then go from there.

How hard/easy is it to remove the bulb on these lights? Any special instructions?

Thanks

I'm going to install some LED strips to my C230, is this the right place to ask for some wiring help?

Where do I tap into the power source for the daytime running light? There are 2 sets of wires attached to the city light, yellow and brown wires if I remember correctly, and a white one in there as well. Do I tap the wire as it goes to the city bulb, or the piece of wire that runs inbetween the city bulb or high beam? Is the yellow or white wire the power source? And splice the black wire on my LED strip to the brown ground wire correct? Thanks in advance.

I need help guys!!! Any opinions anything is helpful! Thanks.
So recently I purchase a whole int. And ext. LED KIT. So I replaced all the regular bulbs with the LED and they all work BUT it does not light up by its self when I open the door or unlock/lock my doors. Anyone know what would be the problem????

phister

Do you have you're setting set right on the dash menu?

c230benzkid

Yea all I did was change the settings to 15sec lighting and now it works fine... Thanks for the reply bro.

My dad and I wired some of these to his E55 AMG the other day. His only had red and black wires. We found a fuse that had current running through it when the ignition was turned on. Then used tap a fuse and wired it right into it. PM if you have any questions about it, I can get you some pictures.

Kevin Goofball

Where did you purchase the whole kit??

phister

He probably just purchased LED for all the bulbs inside. Or Ebay has a bundle. Aznoptics sells all the leds you need for the interior.

Ok guys, I recantly had some aftermarket HIDs installed on my 04 c240. Now my problem is that it doesn't work with the "auto" feature and also it flickers ever so often, not to mention I've lost that nice little thing the car does when u unlock at night and the fogs come on.
Any ideas on how to solve theis problems?
I've read about having the car programmed for HIDs. Will that help? And if so, where n how can I have this done. Thanks.

Akhafeez

Its just HIDs on the stock headlights? If thats the case then the flickering could be an improper mounting of the ballast or just a faulty ballast. Or it could be normal every so often mine flicker but thats cuz the amount of juice it sucks. After you drive it should go away if thats the case. Also i haven't gotten any programming changed when i instaleld my Depo headlights with HIDs. But every care is different you could try that and see if it works.

Hey, I'm considering getting some white led city lights to match my 4300k xenon, could anyone recommend any cheap good ones of eBay or something that doesn't give error codes? Also I'm interested in some license plate led lights if you know of any good ones. And it must be possible to ship it to Norway!

Thanks in advance

phister

Try aznoptic a sponsor on here they have the leds with built in resistors

mchugh777

Should I go LED or halogen in the city lights?? Can't make my mind up

phister

City lights I do LEDs

mchugh777

AZN optics has (5000k) white LEDs for $20 a pair. They say they look great with the bi-xenons

phister

Yeah they look good.

Also found them on e-bay and such. I would like to find a solid black headlights with Bi-X in it and Angels eyes :P

And BTW are there directional headlights for W203 that turn like mazda does?

irrogue

Hey guys, how do you switch the City Lights on? It was working before now its dead after a battery pull? Only the fog lights work.

Warm Regards

maverik259

Try Phillips Blue Vision 194 T10 W5W LED replacement bulb • Sold by Xenon Corp.
These LED's are around 5000 Kelvin and deliver a very pure white light. One problem though, the 2013 C250 detects that they are not regular incandescent bulbs and every time that you use them (parking lights in this case) the car asks you to check the lamp. A quick reset and no problem, but it will keep showing this behavior and require occasional trips to the reset button to make it go away. No problem otherwise. They look killer.
