Daytime Runing LED bar

Hi, I have a 2011 GL350 with the daytime LED running lights. My passenger side has a single LED out, the remaining work fine. I am looking to replace it. Has anyone had any luck with the aftermarket ones on e-bay...I can get left and right for the price of a single MB one. I have even thought of buying two of the aftermarket so they match. Thanks

Are you sure they'll fit? Th eyre not retrofit kits for an older model?

I would stick with the mb oe part. I know it's pricey but just stick the part number in Google and all the mb dealers will compete for price from their online parts stores.
You also get a 2 year warranty from an mb dealer.

It was not a retro fit but rather an exact replacement just not made by MB.

I trust rockauto a little more than eBay.

Its 110 for 1. Does that work for you? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...p+assembly,803

I agree with trusting rock auto more, but at 110 i can get the factory MB from FCP euro for 165..just curious if anyone had tried some of the ebay cheap models. Its irritating that a single LED chip is out.

Oh yeah. Definitely go with fcp euro at that price. If it breaks again they will call cover you.

Yeah I totally get your pain.

I had one led go out on the rear taillight. So frustrating and annoying. Fortunately my extended warranty paid to replace it, but still it would have been a 400 part if they didn't.
