W204 leds with resistor, where?

Pls. post links where I can buy leds with resistors for my eyelids, number plate and reverse light. Any pics with leds on number plate and eyelids?

Would these work as reverse lights with no errors: http://www.autodynamic.com/detail.as...D=1156-LED-WHT

No you need a resistor.

I am selling the eyelid and numberplate lights for €17 a pair. US shipping is about €15. Info.
You can also get lights from phranksmbz at $1xx per pair. Or on eBay for $30 a pair.

I think €10 since it's mainland EU shipping, delivery in less than a week after posting it.

They look very bluish on the picture, do the look whiter IRL?
How do they match the xenons? (if you have them)

Yes they are blue. This subject has been discussed to death in the last few months. MB has coated the lights and it has glitters in the plastic too. The lights will never match the zenons because MB f'ed up the eyelids.

I dont think its mainly the reflectors fault,
a white LED is really a blue LED with a thin phosphorus cover, this is why white LED.s has a very narrow color spectrum and is generally seen as a very light blue cold color.

There are warm white LED.s available but they arnt as powerful.

Still havnt decided what to use on my car, the cheapest and easiest way would be to go with regular bulbs..
