you're going to need to install resistors or wire the LED with the existing bulb to get rid of the message.

Bizump,

So sorry for bringing this one back from the dead guys but I thought I should share.

So I got two LED Festoon 39mm bulbs (6 led) and installed them in my dome lights two weeks ago and have had no warnings what so ever and it's my daily driver. I just ordered more for my rear dome light and tail lights. My brother also got a bunch for he and his wife's benz's(non w208's).

I'll let you know if anything goes wrong but so far so good and I gotta say these things are awesome, so bright and crisp...

I snapped a quick cell phone pic for color reference. I will say it is a bit less blue than pictured.

Quick update.

I added another led bulb to my rear ldome light and still had no warnings what so ever.

Today I got off work and replaced my two license plate bulbs with the led ones and it tripped a light out warning on my cluster....

So basically I have no warnings with the dome lights but get warnings from the license plate ones.

If anyone can give me a link to the resistors everyone talks about please drop me a line on this thread. Do they even work? Thanks guys...

Interior light don't give off warnings. I used the lowest rating resistors from autolumination for plate bulbs.

sorry to bring this thread back. I'm sure some of you are sick of seeing it. I ordered the bulbs and installed it. But I'm getting the "light out" error message. Do I really need to put resistors on? Or could I just let it be?

NO RESISTORS NEEDED!

NO "BULB OUT" error messages on the dash!

NO FLICKERING!

TRULY a simple replacement bulb, except in a LED version!

Oh, these aren't as cheap. They're about $19.50 for a pair, that includes shipping.

Pics....

LED on the LEFT. STOCK BULB on the RIGHT








Here's the website...

http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm

Scroll down until it says... High Powered 9 Led SMT Festoon

Find your size and install!!!
I need to make sure that I'm ordering the correct bulb from the website you recommended.

Festoon Dome Bulbs
Replace Bulb #6418
39mm
6 or 8 LED?
