My best guess would be that you plugged them in too far thus they are overheating and causing problems. Try checking them, refer to post #427. ( Pg 18).

Hey Mike. I don't know if you are already doing this or if it is even possible. But why not put a little tab that sticks up from the LED on the edges to prevent it from being pushed in too far and making contact with the resistor plate. It seems it would save a bunch of warranty claims and user frustration as well as simplify the install process.

If anyone wants to crack open their mirrors and take a looke at the bulb type, I might be able to come up with something, but that's not a trivial task. And I do have rear turn signals coming in, but front ones it looks like will require external resistors sliced in. I could just release those as two components, but still want to take another crack at a one piece solution.

Good to hear. Will you only be making your HID kits in H7? If they prove to be easy to install and good quality for a competitive price. I may start a small install on the east coast for some of the kids around here on long island.

For now, H7 and H11, but will eventually expand that lineup.

Working out the error canceller before we release, but I've got a 5000K H11 and a 5000K H7 test set coming in that will be offering someone at discounted price once it comes in.

Your brake, tail, and reverse light should be 1156. Check your turn signals, because I had heard conflicting information from those who have bi-xenon and those without. Some say that their rear turn signals are 1156 and some say it's 1157. Mine are actually 7507 which is coming in on my next shipment. 1156 has the little nub straight across and has single connector at the base. 1157 also has nub across, but has dual connector at the base. 7507 has the nub at an offset and has single connector at the base.

Come out to Mercedes March Madness at the Hooters in Lake Forest. I'll be there and raffling a complete exterior or interior LED swap. Also will have decals for any who want. We've got over 100 Mercedes signed up so far.

Yes, shipping is free to Vancouver and yes you will need 4 sets. With stock bi-xenons, I'd suggest you go 5000K as that would be the best match, but it's up to you what kind of look you're going for.

Nothing against phrank, but those prices were lol. These are the same plug and play and stay consistant color. They will not overheat as long as you properly install them. Running these for about a year now no issues and have hundreds of people out there also using my product. These LEDs will not have the color shift under drive load which is what most LEDs out there exhibit.
