Can any one recommend wich reliable led 6000 bulb I can use on the front parking light without the warning light coming on the dash,
And where I can purchase it from.
Dose anyone know if the parking light bulb is a pull out or twist & pull to get it out.
Hope to get some tips of you guy's & learn a bit more about my C-Class.
Your parking lights use a set of 194 wedge LEDs. The dust cap is twist off, but the bulb socket is pressure held.

1985 300D (W123)
Thumbs down I'm Travis from Los Angeles

Hi, my name is Travis. I own a 1985 300D with 112,000 miles. It's an original Blue plate CA car with the CA emission controls. I purchased it from the 2nd owner, who bought it from his neighbor who was the original owner. This car spent it's entire life in the Los Angeles/Pasadena area. Growing up in the 1980's some of my friend's parents drove the w123 wagons and coupes and a couple W126s, I have always been interested in MBZ for the way they look, drive and age well(most of them). I look forward to interacting with you all.

2013-ML350 and 2015-SLK350
Navigation Issue.

Hi I sent the below email to MB Canada.

Does any one have the same concern I have, and can we make a request.

Hi,
This is the 2nd time I am sending you an email with my suggestions. I strongly believe and recommend that you do a survey from other owners as well on my concern. I own 2 Mercedes, 2013 - ML350 BT and 2015 - SLK350.
I am not at all happy with the Navigation system going Into safe mode while the vehicle is in operation. It says for safety purpose this is done on the screen but it puts drivers in to more risk as some time you need to pull over the vehicle to a full stop to enter an address and if you are on the highway you need to pull over to the shoulder and then when re merging its very dangerous and a person like me being a Realtor it is very inconvenient and very dangerous to pull over and re merge all the time as an when I have to enter an address. The Voice recognition and voice command never works. Always give the wrong address and the voice training is not success at all. I suggest rather than disabling it it’s an idea for the diver to have the option to disable or enable the option of inputting address while the vehicle is in operation. This option is available in BMW. May be you should look in to this. After buying a world class luxury vehicle you need to come to full stop to enter an address is very disturbing. Also it is very inconvenient after paying so much of money and to put the life in to risk. Also the funny thing is POI address is available while the vehicle is in operation. So I think if this was done for safety purpose then why that option is available. My suggestion is please consider it activating to enter address while the vehicle is in operation rather than inconveniencing the drivers. Please do a survey if you like to get more feedback from more drivers.
If you buy a Regular portable GPS they you don’t have to come to a full stop to enter an address and in MB it is even more sophisticated as the wheel is there to enter so the driver and keep the eye on the road and enter an address conveniently. Please think about this and fix it if possible.

Introducing myself...

Hi, my name is Kierstin. I am the parts sales manager for a company called Rebuild Master Tech. We've been standardizing the coilover conversion kits for the SL's to remove the ABC suspension.

After following some of the threads on here, I just had to jump in! We mostly specialize in air suspension products but the coilover is something I've been extremely excited to have a part in. I hope to be following suspension related threads and answering questions. Please feel free to message me with any specific questions related to air suspension, coil over conversions, and any questions regarding Rebuild Master Tech!

Glad to be a member of this excellent discussion forum. Here's the '03 SL500 I drive. Only 31k miles. Toying with the idea of selling this and one other car to make room for an S550 sedan.

Do you see where the flooding is coming in from or is it just pooling in the carpet on the floor?

Welcome to MBWorld! Great looking w204! Let us know if we can help you out updating her lighting. We also have a w204 so are very familiar with her ins and outs.

Welcome to MBWorld. Great low mileage SL! Completely different mindset from the S class though... sporty roadster vs land yacht. Can't go wrong either way.

2009 cl 63 AMG
my 1st MB

Hi All - just purchased a 2009 CL 63 AMG back in April. I switched from an Infiniti FX35 to this car. I'm adjusting to the several stops/stares that I get when I drive. I'm also learning how to drive/take care of this car, for there are many features in which I'm still discovering.

She looks absolutely stunning sexy! Definitely a head turner. Ever think about blacking out the window chrome trim?

Question Trying to Figure This Out

Sorry, but I could not figure how to start a new post.
But I am fairly new here and need some help. I have a 2012 C250 & my driver's seat is off track. So does anyone know where i can get it repaired in Dallas/Fort Worth other than the dealership. They said something got lodged underneath & broke it, so it's not covered under the warranty. Now the left side of the seat moves but the right does not, causing it to basically twist almost. Just looking for some repair facility suggestions that won't rob me as the dealership is attempting to do.

Have you tried removing the seat yourself to take a look? It's not too difficult to pop the seat assembly off as it's just bolted down. Might be something as simple as removing something lodged in the tract. Otherwise, it's probably something most body shops can take a look at and potentially repair as it's a simple part swap most likely. If you can see what part is broken, might be able to get a part number and just order yourself so you'd just pay for straight labor with the shop.

Good luck

MB Service took it apart & nothing was lodged in it. But they said they could see a point of contact where something HAD been lodged beneath the seat. (former csi techs i guess) So that makes it not be covered by the warranty. But for a mere $760 bucks they can fix it for me.
I will go the parts & labor route. Will check with a collision center. Thanks for the feedback!
