Since the 1st group buy (GB) thread was closed I thought a thread discussing the LEDs themselves would be appropriate.

For those not aware:

1) LED picture thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...re-thread.html

2) 1st GB thread (now closed): https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...yelid-led.html

3) 2nd GB thread (still open): https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...group-buy.html

Please post here when you get your LEDs!

 

I got mine in the post today (very quick!) but have no car yet to test them out on.

 

Mr Enigma, When did you order yours?

 

I ordered mine with the 1st GB. It was posted a few days ago from Belgium but since I'm in the UK it doesn't take long.

PS: Please don't bug ctgilles for when you should be expecting yours. They will arrive soon!

 

I realized that you must have got yours from the 1st GB after I posted. my bad...

 

 

Post #2.

But since you asked:

 

I've just been looking for any excuse to use that smiley

 

I finally put my 5000K's back on the car (were in another testing environment +14V) and have asked my father to use DRL and check them once in a while (it's really hot here). They have been good in all tests and don't flicker.

Don't forget that there are resistors on the bottom! I had to take tweezers and "correct" the plug inside my right light a bit to make it fit. Oddly enough the left side had no problems so I retested it with a halogen W5W and I found out that my plug is bent But I got them in and they work fine so I'm not buying a new headlight assembly just for that

 

Got the package today. Will install them later tonight. Thanks!

 

I think we have a winner folks. Installed mine tonight... Only did a short "purple" test... But after 15 minutes, they still hadn't turned purple.

Go Tintin and Schtoumps! That's a Belgium reference for those not in the know... Thanks CTG!

 

The eyelid on the driver's side in pics 1-3 are the 5000k while the one on the passenger's side are the stock bulbs (no offense to Azn's LEDs which I took out). Both 5000k LEDs are shown in pics 4-5.

 

Looks great. Could I request a picture with Xenon low beams on to see how well they match up.

Thanks

 

looks like im going 5000k leds too

 

I'm so excited to get mine!
I've spent a small fortune buying all kinds of LED bulbs, so I can't wait!

 

Yup...

 

I like the red of your car, looks better and better everytime you see it
Glad to see the LEDs functioning in other cars. Now a LED solution for those fogs!

Does the new E-class have error cancelers for those LED strips or are they just unmonitored? You could use that system to put H7 LED bulbs in the fogs

 

lights lookin NICEEE

im excited to get em now!

 

Looks brilliant! Thanks for the picture.

 

Thanks! I just detailed her this afternoon (attached).


The fogs are my next project I think. I'm not terribly mechanically savvy, so while I wish I could do what some have done by modifying their C-class fogs to match the new E-class LEDs, I'll probably just have to be content with better bulbs that fit the stock socket.


My pleasure!

 

Nice I just got them today. Thanks Ctgilles for setting up the group buy.

 

luv it..tthanks

 

I was bored and ordered mine :p

 

I just went for a cruise in the sun with all my lights on. Front LEDs stay the same color and the rear ones (Xenonkungen) give a purple shine on my license plate. Looks cool

 

gilles you have PM
