License Plate Bulbs Flicker and go off. Any Help?
I'm already on my second set of LED License Plate bulbs and nothing seems to fix the issue. Are my bulbs just bad or is there something wrong with the car? Anyone had these issues before?
Thanks

You need compensated bulbs. Mercedes cars measure resistance/ wattage a bulb is drawing to determine if it is blown. If resistance is not within specs (ie too low or short) bulb is considered blown and current is not supplied any more to bulb.
Flickering is a good indication the bulbs are not compensated and because they are LEDs they draw less wattage causing the sam to think they are blown. You should also get a message on the dash.

you should check to see if moisture and water is able to seep inside the LED holder thing. I had an issue with my lights flickering too and I found out it was because moisture kept getting inside. After I sealed it off and bought new lights, the issue disappeared.
