I drive a w203 C200. my current front head light setup is standard no Xenon's. i got a set of after market Parking bulb LED's to replace the current ones that shine a standard off white colour.

the problem that i have is when i install the bulbs as in pics attached the bulbs flash. stays on for 3 seconds and goes off for 3 seconds.

can you maybe help me with technical advice as to this trouble shooting.

thank you

Did you make sure the bulbs have error cancellors built into it. Our cars are very touch with leds, since most run at a lower voltage, usually 5v I believe, our cars believe that the bulbs are burnt out since it reads at the normal 12v. so the bulbs will flicker like that. According to your images it looks like you got standard leds without the cancellors.
