Plate lights worked out great! Factory is building order as we speak. Turn signal lights for bi-xenons package 203s have no issues. Now just trying to track down a 203 without bi-xenon package to test out the other turn signal.

Yeah, plugged em in and no error. Even had my tester drive around a bit to make sure nothing popped up. Looked good. And was a stark difference compared to the stock yellowish.

Sounds good man.

Will you be doing interior LED lighting at any time as well? Like dome lights?

I'm not sure on what the lighting specs are, but I know some have used festoons for the dome lights and the rest of the interior. Nothing but good feedback on those.

I think the dome lights for the front and rear are 42mm. Not sure on the specs of the map lights and vanity lights. Some have had issues without resistors due to a low electrical current that runs and dims the LEDs when turned off.

At some point will you put together a deal selling all of the LED replacements as a package? I'd like to convert everything at once and with one transaction (and hopefully save a peso or two). Thanx for all the hard work!

I'll be carrying 36mm, 39mm, and 41mm festoons. Chinese New Years is delaying production and shipping, but hoping to get my inventory of those in by mid Feb.

I actually had a conversation with Michael about this while testing. Im sure once all the bulbs are worked out there will be a "full W203 lighting Package" of sorts


just one more item for your to do list Michael

Yeah, and it gets tough cause of the variations between the different 203 models with and without lighting package. I'll see what I can do as I continue to round out my inventory

I've got my bi-xenon tester meeting up with me at Euromeet in LA Satuday to test out. All goes well, I'll have the factory start pumping out more inventory by mid Feb

Well, looks looks like front turn signals won't be simple plug and play as I hoped and will need load resistors. Rears should be fine though. I'll be working with my manufacturer to come up with something, but for now will be offering the bulbs and load resistors could be found all over ebay for like a couple dollars. The way the connector is designed, there's no way to have something built in.

Being manufactured as we speak. I'm hoping to get my shipment in the next couple weeks. Chinese New Year delayed production by a couple weeks.
