And while I'm at it, might as well get a start on those plate lights. I know you guys use festoon bulbs. Which model? And would you all prefer 2 SMD? 3 SMD?

What's the status on some front turn signal led bulbs?

I think someone put in LED's for their SLK and they worked without resistors. I have a 7W Hi-Power LED that still isn't getting it done on my E320, although I think I have the wrong connectors. I need to get the 1156 connectors, my car came with 2357 for some odd reason.
Also IMO Mike, use 2SMD's for the festoon's 3 is too bright, its like saying "read my plate and pull me over!"

Ok, I'm having my engineer whip me out a test set of 1156 then as it appears there are other mercedes models which also use 1156 if they don't have bi-xenon apparently. I'm also going to get a set of 1157 which should replace 2357. Is the bixenon difference the reason why some 211s have 1156 and some have 2357?

Looks like there are a few more variation of turn signal types than previously thought. Models with and without bi-xenons use different turn signals even within the same model. I'm going to make and test out 1156 and 1157 turn signals which should cover the spectrum. When I do the group buy, I want to make sure as many MB models are covered so they don't miss out. Sorry for the delay, but rather do it once and do it right.

In any case I'll set aside a few bucks for the festoon's if your doing them

Been looking for something like this, I will send money tonight.
Question for everyone, I have a bad headlight on my 03 W211 Sport, what bulbs do I buy to replace the factory ones? They are factory HID's currently.

Anyone else get the error "Parking light substitute left/right on?" Weird, I was just turning the parking light on/off and instead of the parking light the corresponding fog light came on and the parking light blinked. Could be cause its 19 degrees outside? These cars don't like the cold i'm guessing
