I installed the stealth bulbs, the problem is, there not as bright and are hard to see during day light so I hade to installed the OEM bulbs back for safety, the front ones work and look great

I thought they were the same as the fronts. I was going to change mine, but after hearing what happened to Tank, I decided to wait for another oprion. I may try LEDS since they are not required to be on constantly.

I almost did the same as you. I was saved only because the auto parts store only had one set. Is PY21W a good bulb number here in the States? I took a rear signal bulb out but couldn't read the numbers (counter person couldn't either).

Ok guys the signal bulbs for the rear they don't make it in super white or any other color besides clear factory bulb or orange. Since is from overseas is a weird bulb they don't make it here. I have in my rear signals super white but I had to sand off one of the clips to make it fit and it works perfectly fine and it looks great. I haven't seen anyone else with a C-Class and super white signals.

FYI, I'm having the company that made the LED brows for my last group buy make LED turn signals for our cars for those who don't have LED rear turn signals. White, Red, Amber. Can also be used in front.
