Hay guys, I am driving a 11' ML300, W164 it is. While ago, the right license plate bulb burnt out (that is a regular 36mm bulb). So i tried to replace it with an "error warning free" LED. OF course I bought them in pair. Following things happened and I don't know why, Please see if any of you can advise me on this:

Left: regular bulb Right: LED --- got warning message
Left: LED Right: LED --- got warning message
Left: LED Right: regular bulb -- NO WARNING MESSAGE

This is the weird part, why the last combination doesn't get any warning message but others do? How to make it Warning free when using 2 LEDs?

Please advise. Thanks~~

All the LED bulbs will work with '10 and older, will not work with 2011 yr. I ordered a pair from JMD, but it not, got error messages, you have to wait until saler comfim that work on '11 and newer models.

i got 2009 ml350, and not a single led bulb worked, they all gave me error msg

get your led's from AZNOptics, I ordered from him for my 2007 ML, no issues, buddy of mine has a 2008 ML no issues......

everything under 2009 has no issues, but in 2009 it doesnt work.

I am also driving a 2011 ML300 and found non of the LED licence plate light bulbs work even with after market resistors.
I've given up!
If you find any that works, please let me know!

Have you tried the ones from AZN Optics, he is on this board, and his have worked so far with all that have tried

AZN's do NOT work with my 2010. If anyone finds a solution for '10+ let me know.

I think that any 2009+ car has the same issue. I tired 10 models of leds for the license plate, none worked :-s My car is 09.2009 320CDI

Sorry to revive this thread.

I agree that the issue is with the +09 models. Tried many sets with no success.

Has anyone successfully doing 36mm rear plate LED's that work with 09 and up?

Funnily enough I just replaced my park lights with LED..........NO ERROR message.
Haven't tried license plate globes yet.

But now my Bi-xenons don't work��

Might be fuse.............(I hope)

2008 ML320 CDI here, I read that alot of no error leds gave out error messages.

any help?

texasflysuper

Lol,

Sometimes I wonder wether it's error free or free error with every purchase. ��

OUZO Power

with the bulbs posted by others the 06-08 models shouldn't have a problem.

It's the 09-11 that have the problem and there is no fix that I know of.

Thanks for the clarification. It's just a gamble honestly with these cars. I knew Aznoptics from my other car's forum, so ill give his set a try I guess.

Any luck with the rear bulbs texasflysuper?

I gave up and went with white standard festoon bulbs.

Not as bright as LED's and even the stock bulbs. But still look better then the stock amber bulbs.
