Do (good quality) LED's work flawlessly with the CL550?
Hey all just wondering if LED bulbs play nice with the CL550. I'm talking about spots like the trunk, reverse lights, parking lights, mirror lights etc. Hoping no error messages, flickering, etc. Thanks for the help!

great question, i can speak for tag lights, interior dome lights(not map lights) and the footwell lights in my 2010 cl550 have all been replaced with good quality LEDs and look fantastic..no error messages or flickering at all.

Thanks for the reply, what bulbs did you use on the exterior? I'm looking to replace most of them and want to make sure I get the best quality bulbs that will last and not cause error messages.

Yeah I've used VLED's for my other 2 vehicles and love their lights and customer service. I actually just got off the phone with them and basically the conversation summary was that their lights don't work well with German cars without adding extra (expensive) resistors to each bulb. I tried one of their older 194's in my license plate and it blinked until it shut off. I want to use their products but not sure they are going to work for this car.
