Need help with mods 2015 Glk350

I recently purchased a 2015 glk350

I'm looking into doing a couple things to it and was asking help with them !


First thing I want to do is the LED dome light and lights near the gas pedal and passenger side, which size bulbs and company did you guys go with ? I want error free. What did you use to pry the dome light off

As for the puddle light on the mirrors which bulb size is this and how difficult is
It to replace these bulbs,

2nd I want to replace Stock headlight bulbs with Hids which brand did you go with and did you use an error free converter with it.


Thanks jed !

all the bulbs use 194 wedge LEDs except for rear center dome that uses a 41mm festoon LED. We can set you up if interested.

Why do you want to switch to led interior lights, now you have a Halogen of 2700-3000k, likely you will be buying a colder harsher light in the led of 3500-4000K. I'd do it if 2200 K leds were made. Do you know lights and their ratings?
Philips HID sells hid kits, I have one, you will have to aim your fixture at full down to not blind people , they are at least twice as bright as factory halogen. Also the ballast should be mounted as low and away from engine bay heat as possible, the heat causes failure to ignite.
