Those LEDs are high power LED, its will get very hot when on, its may melt light fixture/housing. So very becarefull with those LED.

I thought the whole idea of LEDs is that they run cool, not like incandescent lights. No filament.

I have LEDs for the plate lights, love em. I changed my fogs and parking lights to 5000k bulbs to match my HID kit, love them too.

Sorry, no pics.

MMundrean

what kind are used for the Fog/s is its H7 or H11?
i tried taking them off to see what how difficult it was but i felt like i was ripping the plastic off so i backed off

Altin

where can i find led bulbs other then the enternet ?please

MMundrean

Usualy stores that sell tuning parts for cars the ones you see with shinny rims in the display should have (not pepboys)

I got a set of H11s off ebay...cheap chinese bulbs that look excellent. 9.99 out the door for the pair.

I used a plastic butter knife to open the fog light cover. There is a notch in the upper outer corners, simply pry and pull. It feels like something is going to break, but it wont. It is a tight fit snap. Star bit after that to remove the housing.

I got my LEds at ijdmtoy.com....a little pricey, but no errors

MMundrean

do the bright white fogs it look weird with the front (yellow) small corner lights?? im curious because i was going to buy them but them realized that i have to change the small yellow lights too.

Messerchmidt

i bought mine from extremebrightleds.com, the guys name is jacky and he runs an ebay store

if your in the toronto area and do not mind driving to markham, you can see him personally and get him to install them

Benzo 003

Im not sure what yellow corner light you're talking about. I changed the parking light( acts as the DRL ) next to the headlight, the fogs, and the headlights all to 5000k bulbs and it looks fantastic. The increased visibility is amazing. 1 year later and still no "highbeam" flash at me or complaints that im blinding on coming traffic.
LEDs in the plate light sockets to match the front.....all in all, I love the look.

MMundrean

ok yea the parking light(yellow light) i am talking about. how did u manage to change that one, did you take the entire housing out or you were able to slip your hand in there (its very tight i can get the light out but idk if i can slip it back in so i backed off). also what kind of bulb is used for that light. put up some picss i am really curious??
thanks

Benzo 003

its a 5w5 or w5w...its in the manual as a parking lamp. Again, ebay.
I used a needle nose pliers and flashlight to get to them, a simple twist and pull.
I will try photos this week end.

MMundrean

awesome thank you, have you changed the reverse lights into led, i just received mine and it seems like i need a resistor for them

Benzo 003

I will soon, I plan on using ijdmtoy bulbs. They com with resistors built in and guarantee no error codes. They are a little pricey, but bulbs in the past have been perfect without any issues.

Hey, I was wondering if I were able to change those circular fog lights, on my 2009 ML350, for those 2012 LED's ?

GateKeeper

I have not done the fogs or the lights in the headlamp housing yet, but I have done the interior, and the license plate

here are some pictures

GateKeeper

I now see this is almost a 2 year old thread....LOL

Sharkster

The LED lit interior looks really cool!

DAM

No matter...

Do you have the parts numbers and where did you buy them?

zemun1234

I did it along with Gatekeeper with different and proven bulbs (no error code ).

I think I have ordered 5 sets of 194 and 5 sets of 36mm festoons but I was short for one set and had some left over from another (also, consider to replace parking lights what I didn't do it).

The seller (AZNOptic) is sponsor on this forum ...

MMundrean

are the AZNOptic LED lights of good quality? i already changed my license plate LED's twice they seem to burn out every few months or so
I changed all of the interior to LED and for some reason the right back door under light stays on after the car is off.
also the parking light is a B*** to replace once the cheap *** LED's Burn out its so annoying.

zemun1234

I don't know about others (some owners both from different supplier and they reported problem on this and other forum).

I put my LED bulbs year ago and so far no problems ...

I don't have any % from AZN for promotion - just speaking from expierence
