Looks promising.. Especially with the pictures showing that it looks white-white and not bluish-white..

"Note: These "BIHAKU" LED bulbs will properly light up without flickering, but for some models, after the installation, the vehicle will still show error on dash board computer.

If the bulbs won't work properly for your vehicle, please send us inquiry and we will take them back and issue you full refund for the order."


Side note, anyone know what the rear dome replacement light is? I read somewhere its a 36 or 39mm festoon bulb? I wan't to get that in matching super white LED or Incadescent....any option is appreciated?

Do keep us posted, $60 for 4 is a whole lot better than $200 that I see in another thread.

The seller stated that it's Xenon White, but from the pictures they look kind of bluish to me. We'll see after chasieboy received it.

Just know if you put them in the eyelid, they will be blue-ish. The casing itself is blue-ish and you can not get around it. I got some LED from the GB on other threat and use them in the eyelid and they turn out to be blue-ish. When I use those same LED inside, they are white.

I just got the LED,its really super white but when you installed it inside the housing turns bluer. Though no error codes or flicker.

Good find. I take it these are the same bulbs that are in the interior too? (front foot well, front dome, rear dome & spots)

Has anyone tried this inside the car yet? They seem really bright. I'm wondering if they are too bright for inside the car?

The W204 has Barbie housing With all the glitter inside and the coating. Why oh why did they do that
Any LED will go blue I will stick with M4's for the time being and switch over when I need new Xenons which will be 6000K.

Which type of light actually produces more lumens? LED or Incandescent? I know the LEDs tend to look better but just curious as to actual light output.
