2007 Mercedes-Benz C230 8K HID's Low Beam & Fog Lights
Bought LED city light to match my HID's
I bought a pair of LED city lights to match my HID's cause the stock's ones look yellow and they look horrible, don't like them. The next upgrade will be the License Plate Lights, change those to Blue LED's just like the Lexus. I will post pic. when i get them.

I bought these lights at Advace Auto Parts. They last it about a week and then they lost the color, now they look just like the stock ones.

These are the LED's that i bought and i hope they do the work.

2007 Mercedes-Benz C230 8K HID's Low Beam & Fog Lights
I was looking at the city light for quite a while for the fitment cause it looked kinda big but i thught give it a try hopefully it will work but the license plate light i ordered that too just now with the city lights and im pretty sure the licence plate light will fit (C5W 12v 39mm).

The license plate lights will most likely trip the bulb-out warning, flicker, and then burn out.
Again, I really do hope they work for you, but we've seen time and time again that most products don't work on the W203.

I'm pretty sure I saw a thread that talks about LED city lights that dont need resistors or throw up codes; and I believe the Hoen license plate bulbs are the best and don't throw codes either

Hopefully it does work, cause im making some changes to the car, make it look different "unique" but anything we do to these cars, either it will not work or it will but you'll have a lot of problems.

The Hoen's don't throw codes but one burned out on me. Maybe it was bad luck. The color isn't quiiiite on par with LED either.

Nothing will work reliably without resistors. You basically have to take your whole trunklid apart to put them in
I'll get some Hoen's.....hopefully I'll have better luck than you lol

The city lights might work without resistors without tripping the bulb-out warning.
The license plate lights will most likely trip the bulb-out warning, flicker, and then burn out.

hoen bulbs are not going to be much different from regular bulbs for you license plate. they just light up soft white. there are many people who have done the LED license plate mod; it's very simple, all you need is some 99c resistors and some bulbs from autolumination. and the LED citys will work, you can look for ebay seller sixity or the other one that other members recommend. LOL, it's not going to be as unique as you think; i have blue LED city lights and LED license plate lights.

well the 194 works great so i will figure those will work too! here is a pic i took a few days ago not close up! but you can see the LED Light. they are not a perfect match to 6000k more on the Blue side once they are installed.
i wlll take a better pic over the weekend!

yup. there's just that beautiful feeling when you press the unlock button, and see the ground light up by the LEDs. it's nuts man,
You are tempting me into doing this. What would I have to do to make LED's work?
thanks
