you're replacing all the LED bulbs? i thought they were non replaceable? anyways hope it works out Originally Posted by Launchstation
Still working on the LED DRL's.........I ordered (100) new high power dome-shaped LED's (3W each, 140-170 degree viewing angle) to replace the cheap ones the units came with....(only needed 16, got 100-count lot in case I mess-up).....finally got them in yesterday (took like 4 weeks). I just have to do some experimenting with them to find out the optimal position to mount them so that all of the facets of the DRL reflector housing can focus the light correctly (each DRL cubicle in the unit has angled reflector "mirrors" to focus the LED's emitted light outward)........will report back later.

im thinking its like the same as doing a DRL retro fit...would finding a new power source and a capacitor do the trick???Originally Posted by bomberman89

as far as I understand they come with a one year manufactures defect warranty. contact sypder directly and tell them what's going on I'm sure they wouldn't mind sending you a pair at all. Originally Posted by bomberman89

That guy has no idea what he's talking about then. you need to be pushy with those type of people. It the coat is coming off or pealing already it is a defect and there should be no question, as far as the condensation, its normal when its cold or very humid as it is an aftermarket part.

Does anyone have any idea when they will make a version of the spyder headlights for the 2013 c250?
Member
I have 2009 W204 c220cdi I want to replace new headlights, is there any way I can replace them with out dropping the bumper off.
I'd like to replace them myself but not keen on dropping the bumper, I have had a price from my local benz dealer and they quoted me about $200.00
Thanks
Phil

Right Hand Drive 2009 W204 C220Cdi
I'm having trouble with my low beam, doesn't seem to light up the left hand side as well as it should, I do not have HID xenon.
Could there be a problem with the lens??
Thanks

I got mine off Protuning labs with the HID lights pre-installed.
Had them on for about 4 months then one of the LED strips went out and one of the HID bulbs went out...contacted Spyder and they did nothing for me but told me to contact ProTuninglabs which was also non responsive.
Complete waste of money...so pissed.

sounds like these spyder lights are not very well made in quality, any thoughts on it? i'm deciding rather i want to buy these headlights are stick with the OEM and just throw on a HID bulb on it.

I'm looking at getting a pair of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-LED...d08aa14&_uhb=1
The * Headlights include auto beam level motors (for adjust up and down), worth $150 AUD!
Which I've been told the spyders don't have.

Hi all again,
Have any you guys had any trouble with your rear lamp carriers (globe holder) I had the both replace about May 2012 because the lamp carrier & wire harness had burnt out on the left side,they replaced the pair, and now the same has happen on the right hand side, going in Monday to see what the dealer has to say.
I'm sure they'll fix them under goodwill if not, I'll get the parts my self and then trade it in on brand new top of the range Hyundai.
Gee whiz, I'm starting to wonder why I ever thought these were great cars,
The last Hyundai I had for 10yrs from brand new never had the problems I've had with this one.

The W204 is known to have faulty rear light circuit boards. There are many threads on it. MB won't acknowledge it's a defect though some places may fix it for free. It helps to add a thicker gauge ground wire. Do a search on the forum for these threads.

Our laws here (Australia)are fairly good for these kind of little problems.
I'd expect these type of problems from the likes of KIA/Hyundai's but not from bloody mercedes, anyway will see on Monday what the out come will be.

Would these fit on a C250, 2.5L V6, 4 matic 2011 (Canadian model) . I have halogen projectors on my car,as well as LED daytime running light already. I looked on the internet, and most websites says that these headlights are compatible starting from C300 and up. I did further research and I discovered that C250s are only available in the Canadian market. If they are compatible, I might order a set of pairs.
