Error Free LED Front Turn Signals

Just keep in mind that after we get it working, I'm not going to release it till we do some live durability testing. Turn signals shouldn't heat up as much though just in their nature, but not comfortable pimping out product without my own quality checks.

Actually, in many jurisdictions even white is not allowed (only amber). White turn signals would look too similar to the headlights which doesn't have enough colour differentation to be safe or effective.

yeah, in california, white and amber front turn signals are legal (red and amber for rear). This is a regional law.

Now I am confused....
I e-mailed with Jason at iJDMToy and he sent me this link for the turn signal bulbs: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/No-Load-Resistor-Required-LED-Turn-Signal-Lights-p/error-free-s25-led-2ghj.htm these are $69.99.
The LEDs in the link by the OP: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/3357-3457-S...ee-3156-2k.htm are $45.99.
Why am I confused? Each link/page shows a different bulb style/size but each page indicates the bulbs will work on the W204.
- The OPs link is for a 3156 (3357/3457) LED bulb.
- The link I posted is for a 7557 (aka P21W) which is what is listed as the replacement bulb in the owner's manual.
^^Could these be the bulbs in the link I posted?
I had also asked which bulbs for the eyelids and I was told to get the Error Free 2825 W5W LED Eyelid Lights, eBay Item No.: 130509789154, which offer a 6000k output. Has anyone found an eyelid LED that is closer to our 4300K factory bi-xenons?

^^ So for everyone's benefit, are you saying that the link posted by the OP is not the correct bulb for the W204 front turn signals but the link I posted is correct?

front signals and rear signals are definitely different. Rear signals use 7507 bayonet LEDs, while front signals use 3156 super wedge LEDs.
mhass350 - If you're looking for 194/T10 wedge LEDs for your brows that better match stock bi-xenon 4300K, I have 5000K wedge LEDs at $18/set or $35 for 2 sets (need two for brows).

Thanks AZN. Looks like I'll be purchasing your LEDs for my brows, is there a coupon/discount code for MBWorld members?
Back on topic, it's amazing that MB could publish incorrect info in the owners manual; who proofreads them? It appears the 3156 is the front turn bulb.

um i used a heat gun to open the headlights just be patient or use the oven method, and when done I suggest sealing the headlights again with some car window sealent at any local car store.
