Hey guys I’m debating on what lights I should get for my car I know the look I want but I don’t know if I should get led’s or the regular bulb ??? what do you think ? if you had the choice what would you get?

 

LEDs will give your car a new look, but for aftermarket taillights like that, chances are some LED will burn out.

 

The LED's Def look better but they look like theyve got a bee hive in there or something! haha... Its hard to say but I think the LED's look a bit more slick!

 

Get non-LED one.It still looks good and you will not have any problems with the LED bulbs burnt out! That is what I heard.

Where are you going to get the tails from?Ebay? I am thinking to get a set as well.

Thanks.

 

Any installed pics?

 

the led are hott but i heard burn out fast too.. i have non leds and i think they are kool too.. see pick on this threads

Some of the LEDs in my tail lamps failed after only a few weeks.

 

soo, its a better option getting bulbs??? Ya I’m getting my lights form e-bay. I guess everyone is having problems with the LED ones.. the led ones are just for the brake light not the turn signals right ? or are there lights there that are full LED’s ??? the picture that I can find on a car are attached. Thanks guys for all your input

 

one more pic with the led on.. well the ones that do turn on anyways!!!

 

I have the LED and so far so good. The lights are covered under a lifetime warranty. http://factoronegarage.easystorecreator.net/store.asp

 

LED ones have a tendancy to burn out because each LED quality isn't that good, but it has life time warranty if you are willing to ship back and forth. I went with the bulbs version for mine. It's sold now cuz I went with the whole sporty look after changing the wheels.

 

one of the best transformation

 

Now only if they made them for 05-up W203's. We want something plug and play!

 

I got the LED style from an Ebay vendor. As soon as I had them installed, both lenses had burned out LEDs. I contacted the vendor and gave some ridiculous steps to make it work (they claim static discharge during shipping!) and to shock the circuit with a 36V supply. DUH!! Fortunately, a buddy of mine looked into it (we took out the PCBs) and tested it completely. Result: Poor trace circuit design and PCB quality. Most of all, low quality LEDs. I bought replacement LEDs from Superbright LEDs and replaced most of the bulbs and so far, 6 months later, all are still lighting up. One beef I had with this design is that the rows of LED are blanked out to accomodate threaded bosses on the back surface to mount the PCBs. Its like you're missing an LED on every row. Otherwise, they look great and give your car a totally different look. The lenses themselves are slightly darker red and dark enough not to smoke them out. One comment: LEDs ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BURN OUT BUT REQUIRE A LOT OF CONSTANT RESISTANCE OHMS TO LIGHT THEM. And there are some poor quality LEDs out there. BTW, the lenses are made iin TAIWAN at $250.00/pair. Go figure.

 

looks good and is that a white cls55 next to the c?
