Installing LED's Everywhere ???
Hey guys,
I am in the process of changing my dash from the yellow/orange color to pure white. I have all the globes on the way.
Does anyone know if you can also change the climate control and radio lights ?
Or any have instructions on how to do it or the very least how to remove the climate control and radio ?
Thanks...

LED Lights
I replaced all the interior and exterior lights on my w211 E500 with LEDs and ran into some complications. Im not sure if it would happen with your year and model but my car kinda flipped out and was difficult. first of all the car knows that the bulbs are not factory so I had warning lights going off until i found an led bulb that fit. Unfortunately every area of the car will only work with a certain bulb type. Example: there are 3 lights in my trunk. two on the sides and one up top. They all use the same halogen # bulb but only the side two would accept the leds. The one on top refused to accept anything but halogen. The licence plate lights were a nightmare and so were the side markers and parking lights. with every light replaced (minus 1) there are 8 different types of bulbs in my car and 4 different brands, there should only be around 4 or 5 bulb types. Not to mention different colors and quirky lighting issues. The LEDs I installed under the doors do not ever turn off like they should. They are on the whole time I am driving. Weird. They look good though. Check out my profile for pics of the complete setup.
