Rear Turn Signal LED

Hey Guys,

Searching for this answer I came across a video on youtube where it has been done. I message the user but no response. Any ideas from our electric gurus?

Probably 360 degree LED bulbs with a resistor installed. I plan on doing this to my fronts soon actually.

No it's not. Our tails have a circuit board which has the bulbs soldered in instead of a regular socket...the fronts you can do, which I have already with amber turn signals

There is a set of Ebay w211 tails that look like the newer S class lights with the two horizontal black stripes. I know that they are LED brake and running lights. Not sure about the turn and reverse light though.

I thought about baking the tails and swapping lenses to get more LED's behind an OEM lense, but chickened out.

the ones from the oem factory are like that but not the ones you can find on ebay and other oem replica sites.

You wait for azn to do a group buy, then you purchase them from him. Then when you receive the bulbs you just switch them with your OEM bulbs

Don't you also need load equalizers?
