My LEDs come with built in resistors, but that's for "tricking" the feedback loop to thinking there's a working bulb in the socket. Because LEDs draw way less power than normal halogen bulbs, the voltage out is out of spec to what should have been used. This is why my LEDs don't throw errors. However, with the front turn signals, even though I have built in resistors, that just means that they won't throw any errors when plugged in. Due to the front signals being tied to the headlight assembly control unit, external resistors or a flasher unit need to be spliced in to the wiring post connection for them to flash correctly.

Wow, including the resitor is very convenient. So basically, you are saying that after purchasing a pair of your amber LED turn-signals for the headlights all I have to do is just screw them in place of my old signals and they will work perfectly? Is it certain that they fit a 2002 E320?

Ok, I understand the technical part; but how about the fitment part? Your bulb looks a little big comparing to the regular halogen bulb. Do you think it will go through the housing without a problem? Thanks.

The cross design is 1 inch in diameter and 2 inch in length. I went with this design because it offers the best heat dissipation and was originally designed for newer Mercedes models which clears all housing and works great. I am working on a redesign though where we have more forward facing LEDs, but takes a bit of time to come up with a good design and perform some live reliability testing.

I'm not sure if im in the right forum.
my question is,
How to I make my headlights & high beams look like my car is a 747 coming in for a landing?
My idea is for all my lights in-front of my 99 e320 to look the same & to be the brightest lights in the southwest?

If you've got halogen, you could swap out to my H7 HID kits for your w210. They'd work and be brighter, but you should also consider retrofitting projectors so you don't blind oncoming traffic.

I have a limited run of the thinner bayonets in red that are only 3/4 inch in diameter.

You were asking about rear 7507 turn signals? The original cross design was 1 inch in diameter. The thinner design I have is 3/4 inch in diameter and has forward facing diodes. I only have 2 sets in red available right now during this limited run I made.

I would love to purchase bulbs for my inner headlights, fog lights, LED amber turn signals for the front and rear, as well as LED brake lights; the only thing stopping me is that I don't know how to install them. I need help!
