Sidemarker bulb type?

Hey everyone,

I have a 2013 C300 Sport and I'm wondering what type of bulb is the sidemarker light? I bought smoked housings and don't want an amber bulb to ruin it.

Thanks,
nkucz

Believe the clear side marker bulbs are 194 here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...pg5.htm#item24.

We also have a great DIY here if anyone needs help with replacing them: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...ker_Lights.htm.

Lightbulb

What's the differences between 2825 bulb and 194 bulb? My 2012 C250 has a bad side marker bulb, should I get an OE bulb, or an LED one? Thoughts or comments?
Also, for 2012 Mercedes C250 Luxury (USA version), is the side marker light bulb color Amber, or White? Thanks!

2825 = 194 = T10. Same wedge bulb. As for what you should get... Depends. If you have stock Amber housing, stick with a simple cheap halogen bulb. The OEM bulb is that yellowish white. Color comes from the lens. If you upgrade to clear or smoked housing, then would suggest upgrading to LEDs. Many customers go with white LEDs for matching, but to stay street legal, many also go with Amber LEDs. Your call.
