LED Head lights

2011 Mercedes W212 sport version
Has any one successfully replaced the standard H7 55watt head lights with an LED equivalent and been happy with the results. Both in performance and no fault codes or lamp failure? If your were satisfied what brand did you use.

Thanks for any help.

You'll get better performance going with an HID conversion rather than LEDs due to light spread pattern in your halogen housing.

For my 2010 e350 sport, I used LED-NOVA-L-H7 from XenonHID.com for the low beams. No separate resistor needed. They work great. I also got the Nova H11 LED for the Fogs. For the DRL’s, I got these from iJDMTOY.com: Super Bright 69-SMD 360-degree shine SH23W LED Bulbs For 2010-2011 Mercedes Benz W212 E Class Daytime Running Lights (DRL) × 1
