If you guys order, please go through Chris to ensure he gets credit since he's in charge of this project; it's not a big deal if you can't.

hey KHill, did you replace all 4 leds into the socket before turning on the power? I just put in 1 of my led into one socket, and turned the power on (while the other 3 sockets have the regular bulbs), and it worked.
However, as I pull out the second eye lid bulb, and placed the LED in, the LED did not fire up when i turned the power on to check if its working properly.
Thanks KHill

This is too funny. I was just there yesterday finalizing my order for rear wheel spacers and lug bolts and came across them. I was going to ask ECS if the LEDs will will work on a W204 when I pick up my order tomorrow. I believe they are the license plate bulbs. Thanks for answering my question. One more order to place. I'm glad they have expanded into other brands besides VW and Audi.

I received my LED kit today, but I can't seem to get it to fit into the socket.
The white plastic base seems to be a hair too wide and too thick for the socket. Does anyone else have this problem?

no i didn't have a problem putting the white base into the socket. I however couldn't get to fire them up all at once.
I however, couldn't put the cap back on though, the wires were too long to shove into the cap.

you can tell that the eye lid bulbs are bluer than the oem hid's. thats how it looks in person too! the leds really add a nice touch to the lighting!

I'm sorry, but $100 
The ones in the GB cost ~$65 for 4 pcs and that even includes a $20 shipping fee. (And they remain available.)
I am sorry but I don't understand why you want such a big profit on LEDs, they are Chinese products and cost maybe $10 to manufacture...
My apologies for the rant, but omg.
