Hey all,

Just thought I'd share what I consider to be a great find. I'm sure some of you already know the info but hopefully someone will find it useful. I had been searching for various bulbs to replace the 2 smaller inside bulbs on the front lights to more closely match the Xenons in the front. They are H6w type bulbs with LEDs as opposed to the standard filament. Here's the link:

http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_i...oducts_id=1186

Attached are photos with one of these LED bulbs installed and one of the originals. They pics speak for themselves. You can clearly see that the LED bulbs are more of a true white and not as "yellowish." Oh yeah, i'm not affiliated with this company in any way, just think they have a great product

Cheers,

Dominik

 

looks good man...perfect match it looks like. i wish i had xenons on my benz !!

 

That looks good .. Im sending them an Email tonight to see what I can do to my fronts too ....

 

How much were they?

 

I haven't changed the bulbs in my car (01 CLK55) but was wondering if these would be hard to install myself? I assume not but thought I would ask. Thanks for the info.

simpleset mod ever....just plug and play you may have to add a resistor to handle the load difference for the computer so it doesn't give you a light bulb out error....but if you dont mind it dont worry about it....
Quad HID in head lights and fog lights and Led ultra white in the cith lights!

 

yea i ordered these last year from them.. only problem I had was one of the bulbs shipped was defective.. and they ship from UK. Takes a while to receive and send back and receive again.. U can try superillumination.com same product great price.. same hid look and a high quality finished product..Worth the few bucks for the bulbs ,regardless where u get them from...

 

sorry guys its autolumination.com, or superbrightleds.com.....holla back.

 

Hey, can you give the exact part number and the US Websites that sell same product? I went to the http://autolumination.com/ website but not sure where to go from there? Also, what is the part number and location of the resistor you speak of to make this work. Thanks for the info as I would love to eliminate my yellow lights!

go to that same site, cick on ba9 .. scroll down, the first bulb u see is the part no is ba9 5led white.. those are it get them in white , thats gonna give u the color u see on the posts above.. bluish hyper white..

 

hey allan, i didnt even bother with th e load resistors bz i didnt want to cut into my wiring.. the lights work u just get a bulb malfunction light thru the computer .. It doesnt bother me i just tap the steering wheel button to clear it.. It beats cutting into my wiring, but everyones different.. if u want the resistors they r on the same site . click on the load resistors, u gonna need 2 15 to 25 ohm .. 4.99 each.... hope this helps..

 

what is the number on these lights?
I dont mind cutting into the wiring I rather do that than have the error show up the next time I take the car to the dealer and he replaces the bulbs ...

inside lights and fog lamps?

 

My mechanic popped in one HID and let me compare it to the OEM. After seeing this, I said "I'll take em!" I'll NEVER go back to OEM type lamps!

are you sure you know what the difference between hid and led...cause you cant just pop in an hid buld and it'll work, hid (high intesity) need balast and possible starters to work and give off way more concentrated light where as an led (light emitting diode) may be bright but give off little to no long distance visability these however can be just "popped" in .....just a clarification!

 

maybe he popped in a Sylvania Bulb I tried those and they are nice and bright too ... but wanted to go more for the LED type .... since they do look brighter
as far as the distance goes you know I had never noticed that I own plenty of LED flashlights and Petzl Headsets and they seem to be just as good as any light I have used in the past ...

anyway .. I guess I take apart the lights on my car and maybe try the sylvanias or philips ...

 

ray - is that your car in the attached picture? all what did you modify? looks like bumper, headlights, and grill?

 

btw, for the load resisters, you don't need to "cut into the wire." they supply a simple snap on plastic clip that does the same job without you have to splice anything yourself.

 

didnt modify anything on it thats the way it came from MB ..
but do want to change the driving lights and the fog lamps for something nice and bright ...

 

ok so how the heck do I get these part #s for the lights .. aside from taking them apart ... but I guess I am going to have to them apart anyway ...

 

what the hell? you pretty much have a W209 CLK front end except for the fact that the headlights are still two separate compartments. you got a *******g sweet deal with all that work already done! how much was the car? you should try to find the previous owner and give him props for a good job

 

yeah I did straight from the MB and AMG Folks ...

 

ah, that makes sense now. your headlights threw me off. it is possible, though, except for maybe that flat-black-star on the grill. people make the amg bumper and those projectors. lol i guess it's an insult to have that car and front shots make it look like some modded CLK

 

and also want to change to clear side markers ... would not look too ricey hope

 

btw, you do know that you're in the wrong part of the forum for the CL, right? ask about the clear side markers over here
