We tested our plate festoons out on socal_c55's 203 and worked out great. No errors, no flickering, simple plug and play. Had him drive around a bit and monitored the light and saw no dimming and flickering under load.

Michael, it's been a while since I replaced the plate lights. 36mm for the w203's right?

Phil confirmed 36mm for w203. Thanks, Michael! Really do hope yours last longer than all of the ones I've tried in the past (although, I'm confident that yours will be reliable).

Got the plate lights today. Fast shipping and design looks better than the ones I've seen before. Put them in and they look great. Pics of the plate lights will be up in my thread, feel free to use those if you need to. Definitely recommended!

Thanks Mike!

Anyone get the specs on the interior bulb sizes? I can't track down the thread I found a while back with them all listed.

I've now installed them on 5 w203 AMG and non, haven't had error messages come up. Take them out and install one at a time. See if you can isolate if its an LED issue, which one, or if its something with the socket. Keep me up to date and if needed, I'll shoot you a replacement.

Hey michael, I think I figured out the issue. Pretty sure it was my bad. I was installing in my garage with auto lights on, so when I originally removed the bulbs to install the led's, I think it just stored the error codes. Everything seems to be fine now. I'll monitor it and if the error codes pop up again, I'll let u know. They look great.

Yeah mine were fine. The 36mm are a little small so getting them to go into the socket properly is a pain but once in there they seem to stay. One of my lens had a burn mark on it and had very slightly melted so that didn't help either. But so far no flicker or error for me

I haven't had any problems with my LEDs since they were installed. Was going to suggest to make sure your lights are not turned on and your keys are not in the ignition; which you've already figured out. Hehe.

Good to hear you got it worked out. Yes, lights should be off when you remove and swap. Otherwise, as soon as you remove the OEM lights, it'll throw a bulb out error and won't reset till after you reset your car (either over time or starting your engine a couple times. Same with all lights that are tied to the bulb out voltage loop.

We switched over to google checkout because GoDaddy doesn't play nicely with Paypal. Also the Credit Card option is better. I can process Paypal payments still on request though like the old way.
