i like the instant on & off capability of LED's. Besides other features of LEDs.

BTW. I noticed in other E-class forums and saw the LED's too brighter and looks like you are in operation theater. any comments..please

Nobody here knows them by heart.

So, it's either you look them up or someone else looks them up.

The only way to "look them up" is with EPC, and that gives Mercedes parts numbers and not Pep Boys numbers.

Be interesting to see how an LED responds to the usual "fade out."
