Regardless, the older V2 model were susceptible to current surges and the resulting heat build up on the resistors, which we've acknowledged and have taken steps towards mitigating with our V3 model released last year in 2012. We are actually getting ready to send release an updated version built off our V2 model (V2.5) which is based on the same chipset as the V2 but utilizes a built in capacitor to regulate power and also cuts in the PCB to physically reduce heat transfer from the resistor to the more delicate components.

Apologize for your issue, but according to our records, you purchased these in Nov 2010? And yes, you had an issue with one of the old V2 models back in october 2011 which we replaced under warranty.

When are the new ones coming out? And how much shipped for the pair? You will have 6000K correct?

They will be the same price. We should be getting our shipment in a couple weeks. Staying with 5000k (pure white) and 8000k (white with a slight bluish hue) as the more popular model this first shipment and have a small batch of 6000k next shipment.

As you all know, AZN Optics is always looking out for new innovations and designs in the market to bring you the best option available for your w204. We've just released a spin off our older V2 model which we're calling V2.5. This design incorporates a capacitor to help regulate power as well as a physical cut PCB to help reduce heat transfer to more delicate diode components. Few other component improvements as well.

We don't have the new V4 (previously called V2.5, but changed due to customer confusion) in 3000K, but we do offer amber wedge LEDs in previous design.

If you're talking about the sidemarkers, you'll want a set of our 194 wedge LEDs which can be had in white:

I might have missed.. but would these be a direct replacement for my standard headlights ? How much brighter are these over stock ? If so, I would like a set of headlights and fogs for my 09 e350

These are for your city/parking lights (and can also be used for sidemarkers), not your low/high/fog beams. For those, you'll want an HID kit.
