Can Bulb Monitor Check be turned off to overcome LED flicker?
I came across an article and video on how to turn off the vehicle's bulb check monitor when lights are activated.
Doing so prevents the LED lights from flickering.
This was done on a BMW.
I'm wondering if we can do the same with our Benz.

Thoughts?

Aloha Plutoe,
I came across the article and video above and thought I'd post it to see if any of our experts here know if such a feature exists with our brand.
Getting the GLE stock lights converted to LEDs was very easy. The E350 is a very different story. I've tried different brand H7s and H11s coupled with different decoders with no luck.
While continuing to find a combo that works, I was hoping above could be used as a temporary workaround.
In theory if the bulb check is disabled, the LEDs should work without the flashing or flicker issue although the dash errors will likely remain.
Thanks.
