After Installing the L.E.Ds on My baby-Continuation of Evolution of My C230 Sport
So finally took the night pictures today.
Front dome lights are cool white LEDs although they look more bluish.
Rear dome lights are the same Cool white LED
Driving Console
Picture of both the cool white dome and Pure white reading LEDs
Just the Pure white LED
Pure White LED license plate bulb
License Plate Pure white LED
Blurry yeah, the camera makes it appear more bluish than it really is
Sideview
Well that's it guys. No error message comes up, LEDs have built in load resistor so all set.

I am using Philips Crystal Vision (4300k HBA/9006) bulbs for the foglights and got them off ebay for about $35.

Nice pics ...
A little word of advice, instead of making new threads just post the pics on your already existing build thread. It keeps things better organized on here.

I used a small flat head screwdriver and puked on the ends and it came off. The difficulty lies in replacing them back. It took me much longer time to put them back in. you have to find an angle and put one end first and then the other and it should click in. But don't use to much force otherwise you might break the piece that clicks in place to have it secure.
Also you have to be patient about it cause believe me it will give you a hard time.

the fogs are not really Pure white but are more white than yellowish. so depends on your preference. They emit enough light and look good to me. Thanks

not bad. I know how difficult taking pics of LED interior lights are, so these pics probably don't accurately represent them...
what did you use? I used the LED panels for mine.
also, if you'd like me to merge this thread with your other "evolution" thread so that you'd have your one thread showing your car's progression, I'd be pleased do to so
