E250 A207 Led replacements
Hello everyone,
I want to replace my yellow and dim license plate lamps and saw that the type is T10. Would these (https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/12799I...rior-car-light) LEDs work or are they incompatible due to the canbus ?
Additionally I would also like to change the front dome interior cabin lamps which are flickering and dim. Can you please advise what type of bulb is compatible and if LEDs can be installed directly?
Thanks to everyone in advance.

Those are T10, but I'd imagine they'd be bright as hell. Normally the CAN bulbs say CAN in the description, so I'd just get a cheap set from Amazon or Ebay if it were me. Maybe buy a dozen of them and do your interior lights too.
The dome lights may be T10 too, but often they use the "festoon" type bulb too. If nobody else chimes in then I'd just pop the covers off yours for a look-c. I had my cover off a few years ago and I'm pretty sure they were T10, but not 100% sure.
I hate bright lic plate lights. HATE! So I have black tape over mine so they're barely visible. Just enough light that you can tell there are lights, so cops don't bother me, but virtually useless. A candle would put out 10x the light. I have a thing for interior lights too, so all mine are unplugged :p

Are you count Dracula by any chance :P I did some further research and found out that indeed the dome ones are T10. Relevant to the subject, I also need to change my HID bulbs as one has got a pink eye that comes and goes.
I just can't seem to be able to decide what to get even after watching and reading a handful of reviews as all seem to have different verdicts. What would you recommend?

Maybe. Light at night has always annoyed me. The bright lights of a city bug me, specifically business signs. Or some of my neighbors that have super bright lights out front, or Xmas lights lit year-round. Cars today have excessively bright tail lights, brake lights and signals which are completely unnecessary, and of course all the jerks with super bright headlights that blind you as much as normal brights.
It used to be the horn on cars blipped when you lock them, which I think most everyone agrees is annoying and pointless noise pollution. It's exactly like that for me but with light as well. My lights flashing when I lock/unlock my car also bug me bad.
Even the lowest setting of my dash lights is way too bright. I think it should go all the way to zero, which is on my list of things to fix, if only I had more motivation.
As for your T10 lights I'd just get whatever brand LED T10 w/CAN. I know aliexpress has them in lots of 10 or more for dirt cheap. The headlights I dunno what car you have, but if it went pink then I can only assume HID. With those I'd likely go with good name brand like Sylvania or Phillips. Some have color choices, and I prefer ~ 5000K. I think oem is 4200K?
