Hi

Has anybody tried to install OEM LED license plate lamps? Is it a plug and play job?

good one, I would like to know as well, sick of other LEDs melting after time !

 

add me in Cause I would love to know as well because all the LEDS i bought either melt or flicker no matter more so in the cold I want oem

 

Have you guys tried the AZN LEDs? Mine don't have issues

 

yes... mine melted, need to buy 3 more sets

 

yes many times and Mike has been awesome about replacing them but either the car or something dont get along my eyebrows flickered n melted and my license plate flicker sometimes i made sure not to over insert but nothing helps only ones i have tried is IJDM TOY

 

So it is possible to pull out that piece marked 908 from 220? Sylvania says is a 2825 bulb. Could just throw one of their silverstar pairs in there and see what happens? But a crisp LED can't really be beat. I had a set of VLEDs in my SRT8 (http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=41035) and they didn't melt anything, but the housing was maybe a half inch bigger if that matters. If you convert our 2825 bulb into an LED type, it's a 194. (http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/minia...58-1-pair.html). I'd be willing to order up a pair since I didn't have any problems with that brand in my Jeep...just need to know if those two pieces above actually come apart.

(edit: that bulb link above is back ordered, likely another 194 pair that would work)

 

I am gonna try these on my eyebrows

 

Heh so I'm not the only one with Mike's flickering LEDs. I hear a lot of great reviews about them and yes, Mike has been very good about warranty. I don't know what I would do if I had to revert back to the normal bulbs! I hope these replacement LEDs work perfectly! I don't know why mine are flickering. Ugh.

 

What u mean by OEM LEDs are the ones in 2012 models and up? Or aftermarket leds

 

I've been through close to 100 of Mike's bulbs, he's been nice enough to replace a few but not nearly enough to touch the amount of money I've spent on them. We need a better, more stable LED for our cars. Whoever figures it out will make a killing.

 

glad to see im not the only who thinks this

 

these will be here Wednesday:

 

This is just half of the bulbs I have had fail from AZN. I hope he's willing to replace them. I just sent him an email and I'm hoping for the best.

 

Here are the ones from amazon that i posted above. Look good at night...except they aren't the can bus error free ones it turns out. So i get a check bulbs error when i start it up. Too lazy to replace em with something else.

 

Any update on whether or not this worked?

 

yes. just need to take out the 4 screws & a few clips with a panel-popper on the inside part of the decklid. 2 more screws above the license plate holes, and there's a few clips that pop out as well. Don't scratch the paint with the chrome edges though! Once that section is removed, stick your hand between that thin carpet and decklid and feel around for the clips and give them a squeeze to push the bulb housings out of the decklid. The rest is easy peezy!

 

I was wondering more on whether or not the OEM LEDs worked on a pre-LED car (2008-11 for W204). I like the OEM LEDs a lot I think they look the best, but would be surprised if they worked without an error message.

 

Ah...may have to wait for someone else to chime in. Anything advertised as CANBUS LED wont (shouldnt lol) trip any errors...I'd imagine that's the same thing as OEM. As long as the resistances are in spec with what the computer is looking for there shouldn't be a problem.

 

Yeah I've got the AZNs, I like them but they're a lot brighter than OEM, I prefer the OEM look

 

Sorry for the delay, they work great! Highly recommended mod!

Very easy DIY, took me about one hour.

Some guiding pictures what I did:











No errors on dash, no rear sam coding!

Total: $25.

 

This looks like an awesome mod. On the phone with MB now ordering the OEM LED's.

 

You need small pins and plugs also. I found small pins in my "wires & plugs" box. Then inserted pins and filled with hot glue and then glue shrink tubes. Dealer asks about $10 for pins and plugs.

 

there are such LED's around which are plug & play you know :p
no need to cut and solder

 

Then use that crap, good luck.
