Mirror Blinker Mod

I am prepping my car for a Euro-Spec Bixenon upgrade and would like to update the light at the mirror blinkers as well. Does anybody know if the bulbs used in the mirror blinkers of '04 C's are different from the '01 -'03 C's (these use Osram/Sylvania 2723)? In my manual, it says that the bulbs used in the blinkers are LED but did not specify which type of LED it is.

The mirror blinkers are indeed LED's not Bulbs.

The MY03 manual also states that the std mirror blinkers are LEDs. But that has been proven incorrect (Vadim I think - long long time ago) . Members posted pics and they definitely look like bulbs. Since the MY04 don't look any different I can't see how they could be LEDs. Now the MY05s and the W211 ones appear to be LEDs.

amdeutsch is correct... the part numbers for 2004 is the same as earlier years. 2005 and later are LEDs.

the blinkers for a sedan and coupe are the same. the 2001 - 2004 indicators look awful. get the W211 or 2005 W203 indicators. the W211 will require modifying the wires in order to pug in, but will fit just as good as the original and look better the any W203 indicator especially if you have BIX.
