LED city lights and license plate bulbs (no errors)

For those of you that are interested, these were straight plug and play with no errors. I've had them in for about a week now without any issues. Here's a few pics so you can see how they look and links. In the pics (iphone) the color looks bluish but in person it is white.

im sure they will fit but im not sure if it will give an error. The city lights use a different bulb compared to the fogs, so no they won't work.

On my S600 the only lights i changed out were the low beams and i ran 8000k bulbs, I purchased them locally, heres how the 8000k looked


the bulbs below will work fine for your city lights without any errors
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/White...ht_6727wt_1318

as for the headlights all you need to find is two bulbs that 10000k, they will be plug and play, im pretty sure you need D2S bulbs but could be wrong.

for the foglights to get a white look the best bet would be to get an hid kit. in order to run hids in your fogs youll need an error canceler, check in the W215 section i remember seeing a few guys running hid fogs.

hope that helped

I must have got a bad batch of the parking lights, they did not fit without sanding down the sides. The pcb was a very rough cut and was about a mm to big for the socket on each side. What should have been 5 minutes took 2 hours.

I picked up the 37mm license plate lamps on ebay. I plugged them in and they did not light up? Did i get the wrong ones or a bad batch?

did you put them in the plastic peice? i found that the bulbs were a little too big to fit in there so i put the bulb directly into the socket thingy and cut the plastic so it would just slide up there...mine didnt work when i put them in the plastic piece either, try putting it in directly to see if it illuminates...hope that made sense...if not i can try to snap a pic

I tried placing the bulb directly into the socket. No luck. I guess Im out the $39 bucks. These particular bulbs are from Japan and the packaging is all in Japanese. The bulbs look like yellow squares on a piece of plastic between the two metal contacts. Do these sound like the same?

what the hell I bought the almost exact looking bulbs and they didn't work either the ebayer never told me they were directional he just told me to turn off my auto lights. I put them in a few times though I cant imagine I put them in wrong every time. I might give them another shot. I got an RMA too so you don't have to be out of the money.

I also tried these types of bulbs, and they failed every time. I tried to flip them around, but they refused to work. I still have them in my garrage. wasted $80 on two sets.
