It's safer to be rude in numbers.

Personally, I like it, and think it goes with the rest of your car. But I think that we have similar taste in mods, so it probably shouldn't surprise either of us.

Todd,

I would like to find out a fix for this also, mine is getting worse.
After all this time someone has to have some information on getting a replacement panel!
1 of the 2 things I hate about my car.

Check the other thread at the top of the W203 forum...its called "$66 LCD panel replacement group buy" or something like that. Seems like a legit deal..good price too. I wouldve jumped on it...except my coupe is now designated to winter duty only and the occasional track day..and the LCD panel is as bright as a shiny doorknob when its -30C outside. LOL.

R U serious? You didn't get in on the group buy?
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ed-fading.html
I'm looking at my new LCD panel as we speak, will be installing in the next hour or so.
Of course with the weather cold right now, I won't notice the difference till a hot day comes.

"Stock run's 10.9 at 125 mph" ???

In your dreams DRB!!!

Well you can still get a new screen for $130 from Minitools in Italy.
Since almost everyone with these old screens jumped on the group buy, it's doubtful
we'll see another one.


Meanwhile, where is Alex?

ValexV--

Are the AZN Optics 194 LED Lights for the city lights and side markers still working for you? No flickering or error messages?
