Eyelid bulb!
I bought these bulb because they are 194 bulb, and I have used in G35 without problem.
currently I have W5W led bulb I bought in Groupbuy here, but it's too purple looking after 5minutes. It doesn't match up well nor look good.
So, I try to install these bulbs, and when I put it in, they lights up. The problem is they lights up when the light is in "off" position, when I turn on the eyelid, it gets brighter for 4 sec, less bright for 4 sec, and bright for 4 sec, and so on.
what is the reason? What are some good bulb replacement that I can buy.
bulb1
bulb2
Also, for the sidemarker bulb, can I use these or do I need resistored on too?
I bought it from superbrightled.com
they are great seller btw.

The reason why the old group buy worked is because they had built in resistors. You need to get the resistors and it should be ok. I'm getting mine done on Friday with the resistors. BTW the resistors are probably like $1 each.

Where does the website claim that they have resistor? I'm no engineering major or electritian but it seems likie it gives you the power output? And I plan on switching out the eyelid bulbs so I have to replace but the bulbs I bought don't work and I get the same symptoms he does

Ok I just purchased this resistor. I am not good at splicing wire so I just think that this is great solution. What you guys think?
It's called 'Xtec LED Resistor Kit for W5W, C5W, T4W, R5W & 5w LEDS'
If you put the whole thing in google and search it, the product from e-bay will be on the top to see it. It has one end just like the bulb socket of Mercedes benz, and other side just like the w5w bulb wedge. So this thing goes between the c class socket and the Led bulb. I hope this work because that means no more blue or purple led but white color that really matches the Xenon light.

Ok I just recived the xtec led resistor. It's very convinience. Just plug it's one end to socket on benz and the other end is to put led bulb in. I have done it and the end of xtec led part fits perfecly on our car bulb hole. Only problem is!!
the back cover can not be closed.
Here is my question. Do you guys think what problem can be caused by not putting the back cover on eye lid bulb place?
Do you guys think the water will come in or gets moisture inside of eye lid housing?
the led doesn't get error sign with this resistor and looks white with slight blue(but not as blue as ones other installed..
If this doesn't work out I will just keep the W5W purplish one i purchased with group buy.
car experts, Let me know
