Smoked side markers

Anybody tried these LED side markers? My C350 had smoked lenses with "chrome" bulbs. Was looking for something similar when I came across these:

Thoughts? Anybody rocking anything better?

I still have a set of CV1's I think, the multispoke one lol, forget the model name; been collecting dust a while now, originally had them on an E63, and even ran them on my CLS for a couple of weeks, forgot which ones you got

I'm starting to see more ppl using smoked side markers, the s class i just picked up for resell has them. It seems to be a trend.

I bought these from this seller.
They do throw an error code but only intermittently. I love the look so I live with just hitting the OK button when the code flashes. the check bulb message remains in the message window but that's it. Next time you start the car, the code will clear until the next time it decides to flash the error again.
There is no rhyme or reason to when it happens. I believe the can-bus system on the W218 is just very picky.
