If you guys wanna check out AZN's LED on a white c300, I have many many many pictures comparing 8000k to 5000k LED, with 8000k halogen lowbeams, 7500k fogs, and also some pictures of polarg M4 and stock and also new pictures of my hid install with 55w 8000k DDM kit. Here is a link to my album so I don't take over the thread...

Hope I was of some help, I always need pictures to help me make up my mind. Been running these since the very first group buy, don't know exactly how long its been, but its been at LEAST a couple of months, maybe AZN will know more. But LED's are still great and no problems yet!

I would check your bulbs ASAP. One of em might have overheated/damaged the capacitors.

Indeed...if they have been working without any issues then it sounds like something has failed....do they all still work ok..?

Yeah, check the LED, see if the voltage plate was touching the components. If you have solder compromised, then LEDs were inserted too far. Either way, you're within warranty period so PM me address and color and I'll shoot you a replacement.

got them installed, license plate was easy along with the side markers and the left headlight b ut **** me was the right a *****. My hands are kinda big. I hope they didnt get pushed in too far to the socket upon install. Regardless they look great! Just wainting for my DDM HID kit. They are out of ballasts

Yeah, there's like no wiggle room to work with on driver side. Angled needle nose pliars is what I always recommend to my customers with larger hands.

These LEDs will also work for your sidemarkers.

Just installed the 5000K LEDs in the eyelids, license, & trunk this morning and they look awesome. Almost a perfect matchup with my 55w 6000K hid lows. Really put the Polargs to shame. Thanks Mike!

Pull it out and take a look at the led. If you have component separation, then you plugged the led in too far and voltage plate touched the resistor. Common error and if so, check your other LEDs as well to make sure those aren't also pushed in too far. Pm me your address and color and I'll shoot you a replacement.

Finally got a minute to stop and install these.
Advice, like everyone else has mentioned, start with the passenger side to get the procedure down. The driver side is a bit tight, but not really any harder.
10-15 minutes all together start to finish. The inner bulb on the driver side gave me a hard time, but all the others went in without much trouble.
All worked first time and I love em! Gives the car a completed look with my HIDs.
Fwiw I'm running the 8000K with 55w DDM 6000K HID's. It's near perfect!
Thanks again for the buy Mike!

Love this look!
