LED's that actually work

These canbus cree/led's work without any dash errors on my '14 63. Sidemarkers, vanity mirrors, front/rear dome, driver/passenger footwells and doors, trunk x2.

Will they hold up over time? Dont know yet. Replacing a flickering bulb is not a problem but Im hoping the intergrated chipsets will be error free. After reading all the posts on this board about led related problems, I wont hold my breath.

Also went with azn optics 1157 canbus reverse bulbs

Heres the link

I've completely given up on all things LED after blowing through like 10... Just not worth the time and effort for the minor cool factor.

Totally agree with that. These are another thing like that dumb lug bolt discussion. They're interior accent lighting. Something that 99.9% of the population just need to work right in the 3sec when a door or trunk is opened. Why would you even bother with this? Things like this I just don't get. I don't even see these lights on enough to appreciate if they're 5500k vs 6000k or whatever. They just need to work.

That yellowish hallogen color is not appealing to me. LED/CREE whatever....If filament bulbs had color options then I would use those.

blkrokt - I see you added illuminated doorsills....why? They only light up for that 3-5 seconds you open the door

Reason, you wanted them and they look nice.

I didn't add them. They came with the car.

none of those lights are connected to the sam so it doesnt matter if its error free or not as it will not show any errors if one blows out.

to each his own. some like the pure white led some like the warm white (yellowish) color. but to say its useless is totally subjective.

I use AZN, Jlevisw and superbrightleds and they have lasted me pretty well, can't complain. I do understand the frustration though with using them. I have gone through my fair share of trial and error for which ones work and which ones are a waste.

For everyone that's wanting to upgrade your interior lights to LED, I installed these a few weeks ago and LOVE them.

I have had exceptional service and experience with SuperBrightLEDs in my past so I went back with them with my C63.

These are exactly what you need for the interior:

I chose not to mess with the rear view mirror lights- just never use them. Beyond that, with these LED's installed the interior looks MUCH better!!

I don't see the point, our interior lights are perfectly fine. I don't want to have an obnoxiously bright light shining inside my car so I look like an idiot from the outside lmao.

To each their own cause it's a popular mod for all cars. I just don't like it.

This.

I believe most of those CANBUS or error-free bulbs are crap for the fact that they incorporate the resistor into the bulb, which makes it ridiculously hot then blows. I'm pretty sure that's why they fail... Could be wrong... Either way, I bought a pack of cheapo regular white LEDs from ebay almost a year ago and they've held up perfectly fine. Don't wrack your brain over interior bulbs, it's not worth it lol

That's exactly right--You don't see the point. In my case my bulbs were a med brown and about to go out. I decided to give MY car a fresh look. I wasn't asking for anyone's opinion.

In the event someone else in the future may want to do the same, I was trying to be of assistance.

I wasn't actually referring to you, and I can appreciate a diy for the community no matter whats its for. I just threw that out there because I thought our OEM lights were comfortable and bright.
