LED PLATE LIGHTS FOR 2010 ML350

Hi All,

I am looking to install the led plate lights for my 2010 ML350, I did some research on the forum, looks like none of the led plate lights will work for a 2009+ ml350, they all throw errors.

If you have successful installed led plate lights without any errors for your 2009+ ML350, can you kindly help and tell me where you got the bulbs.

Many thanks and happy new year.
Simon

I have these and they give off an led/blue look, but they're not that bright. I tried Aznoptics, PIAA, Philips, iJDMtoy and have now given up on LEDs since they all throw errors.

Hi UR2SLO, thanks for the link, I wonder how bright they are, do you have a pic with these bulbs on your car? Thanks.

Found out my bulb lenses/plastic covers were pitted outside and inside, so I cleaned them thoroughly and changed the bulbs since they broke (the ends on these bulbs are not soldered on well, so good thing I bought a bunch). They're actually pretty bright/decent especially for the price. And most important they DONT throw errors.

I would suggest buying 4+ pairs like I did. I had one burn out on me (could of been due to a loose end). Also when taking out or installing the bulbs you could break a corner as they are not soldered well.

Hopefully thats enough. One of mine just burned out (guessing the end broke inside) in only a few days. What a pain.

AZN Optics, search them on the forum. Very popular here for many Mercedes models, and have all types of bulbs.
ZERO ERRORS & GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! CA based, fast shipping.

I have their bulbs in my ML and have had ZERO issues in 1.5years+

Yes, but yours is a '06. On '08 and up it gives error codes.

Unfortunately many don't read the topic in great detail and I have noticed all those that claim they have found bulbs that work have MY 06-08.

Till this day I have tried 15 different sets. None of them have worked on a 09-11 without throwing any error codes.

I'm going to try something new soon with LED's without built in resistors and I'm going to add my own resistors soldered on to them.
