Do not buy these lights for your W211, you WILL get the Console Error message. I got them and I had to take them out. The lights look awesome but, lights will be ON but you will still get the Console Error.

Wonder why since they advertise that resistors are built in ... Did you go back to stock or did you use something else?

I've found that some Model Years aren't fooled by the built in resistors, specifically the '07.

I have a 2003 E320 and they did not work. Yes they have some resistors built-in but the system was not fooled. It was crazy, sometimes one of the lights will not go on, sometimes they both would not go on, meantime, all the time the system was giving errors.

I got these also out of ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5621&viewitem=). They are not as bright as the LED but they reflect the same color (at least to my eyes) which is a bit of blue. The LED did have that same bit of blue but much brighter. These are the ones I am using now.

Do you have any night time pictures of your setup? I am also interested in switching the yellowish light, to something that matches the HID.

this must be true. i was planning on ordering some new lights for the parking lamp but noticed they are already "blue" in color. the owners manual states the bulb is a W5W blue vision. is this new for 09 models?

I just upgraded my parking lights with LEDs, and they look great! Picked them up from a fellow forum member, who mentioned that they were error free. Was tired of the yellowish hue not matching the bi-xenons. Snapped a couple night time pictures for you guys
