LED eyelid bulbs without error
No extra resistors or mods, just plug'n'play.
You do need 2 kits - about €22.
Came across these thought I'd give a heads up.
edit 12/28: changed link to cheaper site

We hope pics or opinions 
I have PolarG M4 and I'm not sure if changing to LED is worth or not.
The only (easy way) to avoid error message is to integrate a resistor in that led-bulb, what about temperature issues?

If you can read German you can also order them (if you live in EU) at:
http://www.hypercolor.de/product_inf...licht-W5W.html
These are actually the same LED bulbs mentioned in the e-bay offer, only now a bit cheaper (more than half the price), 11 EUR a pair incl. built in resistor to avoid error message from board computer. Unfortunately they do not ship outside EU, which is a problem for many of you on this forum. However for the EU guys here it is a very good deal. Personnaly I am not interested in LED's, but thought to share the information I found.

If you guys want I can ship them to the US of A for you. I live in Belgium and I'm Paypal Verified.
But this would only be if you really really want them. So no responsability if your postman decides that he wants them for his C-class too
edit: have now applied for a group buy here at mbworld
And RE the heat: the LEDs themselves don't get hot, it's the resistor that does. But from what I can read, it can take the heat and the total heat can never exceed a regular bulb.
dslotboom: Great find! I changed the links in my posts.
Ordered them myself will report back asap! With pics offcourse

Ripping someone off in English 
I have ordered the bulbs and will post pictures when they are fit. Got an e-mail from the admin that it's okay to start a group buy. So in a few days hopefully they will have arrived.

Sure it's nice, but paying more than double for the same gear? It's called Wucher in German I believe Ripping someone off in English

Waiting for your pics, if it's posible I ask you to do a pic with LED in a side and bulbs in the other side to compare.
And please, check if the resistors are placed well to evacuate the heat.

Yes, will be comparing to my PolarG M4 bulbs and will try to use my thermometer diode to get temps.

Yeah I hope they arrive quickly I am eagerly awaiting them. I hope that they don't get delayed too much because of the holidays.
I'll put the pics in here + a link to the group buy. I am still looking for someone who can USPS the lights to Americans, would be a lot cheaper than having to charge 15$ extra per reciever.

Just got a mail, no extra discounts 
But then again, that's normal at such a low price. He already gets a lot of business.
My order shipped so hoping it will be here in a few days.
Group buy will be up and running as soon as I get my own pics. Can't wait they look awesome

That's is just too bad. Count me in too. Let me know the total charges plus shipping. Actually I can purchase and using my local postal service to post it to me. However, It would cost 34.95 euros for 2 pairs. So I would like to compare and see which is better for me.
Thanks ctgilles!
