Any non-OEM LED lights success stories???

CLS owners...

Are there any success stories for installing non-oem LED lights on your CLS 550? I'm interested in the straight swap route / plug-n-play. I rather not do the whole wire tapping and adding resistors.

For license plate LED lights, this thread might have the plug-n-play solution. It's just costly... https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ghts-work.html

I saw an LED H7 and LED Parking Lights on ebay...just search for "CLS LED" and a few should pop up. I have no clue if these really work...meaning no error codes/overheating/flickering...etc. Another keyword would be "H11 LED" for your fog lights...

Anyway, bottom line....has anybody ever successfully installed LED lights to replace any of your halogen bulbs? (without flickers, error codes, any issues)

Thanks for the reply. Have you ever tried the H7/W5W/H11 replacement LEDs?
