Parking lights flashing after changing to LED bulbs
I recently changed my headlight bulbs to LED's, and since the parking light emits a yellow light I decided to change those to LED's as well to have all white lights. When I turn my car on now, I get a warning that the bulbs are out and the bulbs flash, 2 seconds off and 1 second on or something around there. They just turn off after I start driving. Does anyone know why this is happening? Will it only take the regular bulbs? I have a 2005 c230 kompressor. Thanks

Our cars have a very finicky CANBUS system, which will throw errors and flicker on any LEDs without built in resistors. Check out the aznoptics website, he has a w204 Mercedes and only sells LED bulbs on that website that are known to work with our cars. I've used his lights for my parking lights/license plate/turn signals for years without issue.
