They won't work over the L plate in the rear.
They won't work in the large front panel or the rear panel inside.
and They won't work as parking lamps... they flash when you switch
them on and off from the cockpit and thats about it...but they wont
stay on...its really strange..does anyone know why this is?
What is crazy is they do work in the front individual lights. for
passenger and driver... help

kevblah

lol its because of the power output from the car
you need resistors to make leds work on these benzes

paypaboi

Hes talking about searching before posting. All the answers to your questions have been posted before.

im bored, so here:
search using term LED Licence
search using term LED Parking

paypaboi

search isn't working right now...
the address bar read: https://mbworld.org/forums/search.php
and its a blank page for me.

RW C55

There r some glitch with the search on this site i think. sometimes when seaching using some terms will show a blank page. Try to take out one term if you have many in one search. I find that searching using "rear" would usually show blank.

paypaboi

thanks. i appreciate it. the reason i posted was because the search wasn't working. you can see that i don't post very often i usually only use this site for reference mainly because i get bashed every time i type something.

I wonder if Phil is going to chime in on this topic...........

zoomie

I totally agree. The old schoolers who have 2,000 plus posts who give us a hard time need to shut their trap.

paypaboi

tell me about it...

FrankW

noobs need to shut the hell up with the idiotic posts. They are all listed in the DIY/FAQ. This topic has been beaten to death. If you don't see it after you actually take the time to READ...then search by keywords before posting.

I'm sorry, but we don't feed cry babies.

guess what I found searching LED within the thread for " LINK: CITY/PARKING LIGHT AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT BULBS" https://mbworld.org/forums/search.php?searchid=3652702

mbworld's next moderator?

FrankW

there's no need. the couple moderator already gather all the information and put them into one easy to search thread up top in the main section of the 203 forum.

paypaboi

you are cool! can i be you!?

if you read all the posts the guy said the search gliches if you type in certain words and gives you a blank page. i did try using the search and it kept giving me a blank page.

AsianML

Stick around as long as I have, much less Frank's time, and you'll see where we're coming from.

FrankW

you still don't get it do you??

the city/side marker bulb thread is LISTED in the DIY/FAQ thread. If you have bothered to take some time and read it you would've found your answer without blaming the search page crashing

outaurleague

This has been gone over sooo many times.

nlpamg

ha. Frank is a long time respected member and good friend that knows A LOT about cars, especially the w203. his car puts about 98% of the cars here to shame.

we've been around here for a lot longer and seeing all these n00b threads pop up is quite annoying.

you know, when I searched for just "LED", quite a few pages pop up that contain relevant results.

you want to be spoon fed the answers? here's a short answer. LED's won't work b/c they draw less voltage than a regular bulb. you need to get the perfect resistors to make up for the difference or else the car will think the bulb is out and give you an error. there are TONS of threads on this topic.

btw, any more disrespect towards any of our members and you'll be getting

Besides all the bashing, I learned something here.

LuxuryC240

I wasn't bashing you, it was basically a general statement. Most people are more than willing to point you in the right direction, including me, if I can answer a question, although I'm not nearly as educated as the others on here. Didn't mean to spark an argument or anything, but the mods are usually ten times as mean when it comes to stuff like this....they just want to keep the forum as neat as possible when people use the search function...take it easy...

Mu9enx

he's right.

but it's also true the search function doesn't work as well as it's supposed too.

AsianML

I've never had problems with the search function. You just have to know how to word it in a certain way to get the most results while still getting good threads.

RW C55

try to search threads with this word "rear". I tried this on several computers, firefox and IE, and all of them show blank page.
