BTW there is a misprint in the FM regarding the lights in the side mirrors. Those are LEDs and not bulbs.

On C-Class cars they are incandescent bulbs, not LEDs.

In that case please educate me. I could've sworn that I read on here that the 01 manual says bulbs whereas my 03 manual says LEDs. I think somebody even answered to the positive here.

I can't vouch for what the manual says, but on my 2003 C320 Wagon the mirror mounted signals are regular bulbs and not LED's.

Let's split the diff... I seem to recall that on the Coupe the mirrors are incandescent bulbs, but on the sedans, they are LEDs.

Don't know for certain, as I like my amber turn signals to be amber... never blue Just repeating what I've read among the countless posts on this subject.

I doublechecked mine. They indeed look like bulbs. So much for revising the manual again.:p

BTW Babybenz526; you might run in some legal trouble with making these lights blue. I think I read somewhere on here where someone else explained the legality of this. STFF because I'm too lazy.

Turn Signal - Passenger Side Turn Signal on Mirror

I have a 2001 C320 and I am changing the passenger side mirror turn signal amber bulbs. There are six mini amber bulbs. Where can I find these replacement bulbs or do I have to replace the light piece? They seem to be a specialty item that not many local parts store carrry. Anyone have a part# or where to buy?

Any help would be appreciated. If this has been listed sorry for the post, I was looking through alot and all I could find was replacement to leds and clear, blue etc. I am just looking to replace the bulbs. I thought it would be an easy fix.

Thanks again

B

In my 02 coupe the turn signals in the mirrors are tiny bulbs like in some gages. But it looks like they're wired in pairs in series - 6V bulbs?
