I just changed headlight to 6000k and eyelid part to white color. I did not like the 2 different color if you look from the front so now with this change the car looks very nice and mean looking. I bought this from iJDM TOY.com. Theirs are good fit and no error so I like it. Im in Japan but they worked very nice with me. Thank you!

I bought these for my eyelids, but they turned out to be way too blue, and one burnt out within an hour.

Thank you for good comments! it is nice

Looks great

HIRO63

Thank you! Plus look how bright it is! Its very easy to drive at night. I think that everyone should do this.

looks great - but u might end up blinding oncoming traffic, sux for them

It may look unique or good but if you drove behind me, I would drive like a snail and aim my side view mirrors upwards.

You do realize that the higher the Kelvin (6000k), the less usable light output you get right? In other words, 4100K (stock) would give you much better lighting than 6000k. The higher the Kelvin, the "bluer" it is, but the less light you get out of it.

I always shake my head at people with 10,000K or 12,000K "HIDs" that are purple and bleeds everywhere because you'd get better and SAFER lighting with stock halogens. But 6000k is tolerable.

i am running 10000k on my headlights and foglamps and i have plenty of light coming from mine . xenonking.com has great quality products . just my $.02

OT, BAD430BENZ. What size wheels you running? What kind? Looks good in the sig, any better pics? Thanks

BAD430BENZ

sorry , don't mean to take over your thread...just answering the man's question .....19x8.5 and 19x10....they are forgeline wheels

Thanks!! Love it

k, now back on topic..

Your post took me bak at how good LEDs look even if they burn out at the end. I just ordered 2 pairs lol

exdes

They don't just burn out. they melt stuff around it..

patrickkc

I still have mine from the groupbuy and they are still working fine!.. though i'm scared to open up and look inside..ahhaha

HIRO63

This is my first time to try LED lights. I did not know how good it looks. Little worried about melting and buring.

What kind of LED's are you using? lol LED's are not supposed to produce any heat at all really. And Idk where you guys are getting your led's from but if you get a good pair, they should last a really long time. LED's are not supposed to burn out. One thing i noticed with Mercedes and LED's, when the LED's are burning out its because most mercedes produce a current of 13.5 DCV and most LED's are only rated at 12.5 DCV. After a while, the LED's would either burn out or start to flicker and malfunction. Idk if the C63 is at 13.5 or not but its good to check with a Multimeter. So if your going to buy led's, make sure you check that out.

patrickkc

OH, don't forget they explode too!.. hahaha

Yes LED don't produce heat, but the resistor do, i touch it once and it nearly burn my finger.

All new Mercedes have computer which check all the light bulb in the car, if it detect any one of the light have a lower than normal voltage load it will gives you an error say the light bulb is out and ask you to replace it.

LED run at a lower voltage load the resistor is there to increase the voltage load to fool the computer so no error code will appear.

h0rn3t920

Yeah, in my car it does the same thing. I have all LED's in my car and i just bolted the resistor to heatsink plates and placed them in areas where they couldnt burn anything and problem solved

exdes

This is the feedback thread of the LEDs I had

one of my LED:


you're right it's the resistors that burnt out. Either way, when they burn out, it will leave a brown mark on your eyelid.

what about the so called OEM LED's that come in the C63 in Japan? There was a thread about them, with actual MB part numbers. something like $200 a set.. anyone try those?

FYI

Those LEDs from iJDMTOY.com are the same Blesk LEDs from my group buy, so will exhibit same color shift due to voltage variation.
