After searching around for a while, I finally found this LED to replace stock ones without showing any error messages and works perfectly.

Magic circuit and LED light bulb


LED is much whiter and brighter than W5W 194 bulbs, but as you know it will show error messages because of the low power consumption. But after adding the circuit, the LED will work with 5W power so there's no error message anymore.

Need more info. Where do you buy them from? Cost how much? How do you fit them?

Thanks for posting and welcome

1. Got it from a LED manufactory in Taiwan where makes most of LEDs in the world.
2. Around 50 US$ a pair.
3. Fitment is esay, you just need to put the wire across the LED light bulb and then just like you fit W5W bulbs and it's done. I will try to take the pictures tomorrow.

Looks more blue than white to me.

I want a blue eyebrow light, I think it'll look so nice.

I don't get it though, whats that long wire doing there?

nbturbos

So youre saying the circuits are $50 a pair?

Yikes.

alexyanglaw

i can't stand for error message.

The Mercster

You can easily get blue eyebrows by getting proper blue wedge bulbs, eg the Polargs M-80 @ about $6 a pair. You could even get green or red, for that matter. But 'true' blue lights are illegal in most countries, as this is reserved for emergency vehicles.

The Mercster

It must be the camera effect. I guess the true light is like xenons - it has different nuances from different angles, but is technically white.

madracer

That's true, pic2 and 3 is closer to real color, the LED itself is damn white, and the glass changes the color as well.

The Mercster

Does the maufacturer have a website to view and possibly buy from?

Please post some pics of the installation.

WoW and our car needs a total of 2 pairs=4 bulbs Yikes!

madracer

They only export to whole sellers, if there are enough orders I can neg with them but 50$ isn't cheap.

I will get a new LED bulbs, and this new one dosen't need extra circuit, it's strait replacement to stock ones.

I'm in for a group buy! If there is a straight swap in LED solution I'm in.

The Mercster

+1 but only after I can see detailed pics.

madracer

The one without circuit can't work, so still needs to go with the original solution.

The Mercster

Madracer, can you please post a pic of what it looks like when on during day time. I want to see it's 'showy' enough during day time.

madracer

I will do that tomorrow cos it's midnight here right now.
I am going to install the other two parking lights tomorrow and take some photos of how to install it with circuit.

BTW where do you live in UK?
It brings all my memory back when I saw the house in your pic, I was a student in UK for seven years.

The Mercster

Thanks. Yeah, it'll be nice to see the instal pics as well
I live in Yorkshire. Where did you study?

madracer

Oxford and Brighton area, I have been to York for travel, nice place mate

My only experience thus far in the UK is a 2-hour layover in Heathrow on the way to the continent. I didn't even get to step out of the airport for fear of missing the connecting flight. Truly, truly sad. Must visit one day--soon! My brother says the UK is his favorite European country of all he's visited...

Totally I know. Sorry, all.

Still but I never use Heathrow as a lay-over unless I can't be helped. I tend to travel via Frankfurt as my first choice (I'm star alliance so tend to fly Lufthansa a lot) or Paris. The best European airports to pass through is Schipol in Amsterdam and lesser known Zurich airport - an absolute breeze in both cases.

The Mercster

Madracer, thanks for the pics.
This is ace. I want a pair. Can you organise a group buy?

madracer

I need to get 10 cars to get this group buy going,
The price will be 50$ a pair (incl. LED light bulb and magic box),
For W204 you will need 4 bulbs so it's 100$ total plus shipping to US will be $10 and to UK is $15.
The LED comes with one year warranty.

If anyone wants to join this group buy please let me know.
