I don't think anyone has mentioned that the lighting package also has LEDs instead of bulbs for the auxillery lights.

I like this since MBs are notoriously hard on light bulbs...

venchka

Interesting. Which ones? License plate? Parking lights?

rmfnla

Tail lights and signal bulbs.

I always see MBs with one or more burned out.

They should take notes from their Volvo driving friends.

Actually, I meant which lights in the Lighting Package are LEDs? Are there any over and above the standard LED mirror turn signal, rear turn signal and front daytime running lights that replace the far more useful and higher visibility fog lights?

Oh, got it... not sure, I couldnt get the #@%! package on my GLK!

venchka

Ok. I will know for sure one these months.
It would make more sense to use LEDs in the tail & brake lights (most use) and normal bulbs for turn signals.

I'm pretty sure they are in the tail and brake lights.

Standard equipment on most Hyundais, yet is a hard-to-get (and expensive!) option on a friggin' Mercedes Benz; go figure...

venchka

Rear turn signals only. Red, not amber like European cars have had since forever.
I totally agree! Everytime a Saturn or Rav4 passes me I get steamed.
The good news: old bulbs cost a buck or 2 & can be had anywhere in an emergency. I don't even want to think about replacing the LEDs.

Except you almost never have to replace LEDs...

venchka

True. But even once may be painful.
