hi guys,

pair of 9 LED festoons for sale.

39mm in length

color is blue

they are from Autolumination (high-powered and "protected") and are practically new - i tried to fit one in, but i need a different size.

no guarantees that these will not flicker or not cause any error messages - sold as is.


$18 shipped.....thanks.

They will flicker without a load equalizer/resistor installed. You'll have to splice your wires to install that. I have the same lights and they won't work and I don't want to splice my wires and install a resistor.

I know. Thats what happened to me. I read that they were just plug and play and that they wouldn't flicker, then I bought em, installed and they didn't work. I called autoillumination and they said some cars need resistors to get the LED's to work. Suck!

it fits wherever you have a 39mm bulb.

members have fitted them in the license plate and other places but i don't know for certain all the applications.

i bought them for the license plate on my W220, but it's too big for the clip.

The 39mm will fit the license plate bulbs. It's slightly longer but works fine on my E320. Just keep in mind, if you don't install resistors the bulbs aren't gonna work.

Some model years require resistors, some don't.

TCHU-...which led bulbs did you use?
