Side markers
I have a 2012 C250 and I'm planning on changing these ugly orange side markers to clear white LEDs. I want the light to match my DRLs. Would that be 5000k 6000k. Also if yall could provide a link where I could purchase them I would appreciate it.

I just purchased these side markers. Where can I purchase bulbs for them since it didn't come with any. Preferably white bulbs

EDIT: Found & purchased the correct bulb

Here's another option, just color matching(painting) the side markers to your car. That is what I did:

w204 Generic, the color matching painted side-markers look great. Did you just take them to a bodyshop to get them done? If so and if you don't mind me asking, how much did it end up costing you to get those painted?

Yes I did and I also told them to sand down the lettering on the side marker if you look close. I went to a "overpriced" bodyshop, because I knew they would do the job right, and it costed me $120; after all you do get what you pay for. I have had no problems with it for the year that it has been painted. (I.e no chips, peeling, cracking)

Seems like the LED side markers do throw an error code.

x2 for the color matching. I paid $75 for the rear spoiler and side markers. Neat thing is when the car lights are on, the bulbs are still in them and it gives off a very faint glow. Been almost 2 years and no chipping or peeling. I like this better than clear or smoked because not everyone has them.

I purchased this bulb to go with my clear side marker. I just want to know if this is the right bulb? Will this also work for interior lights

I think you will need to get the Canbus ones so you do not get an error code
