LED Parking Light
Hello, recently ordered 2x Canbus Parking light LEDs for my w220, both the lights work but I get error message on the screen, can I use them until I have gotten new ones even though I get the error message or shall I replace them and put back the old ones?
cheers

Are you talking about the little bulbs in the headlight housing or the little yellow one on the side? I assume its the one in the headlights (they both use T10 wedge style). Sometime it gives error codes and sometimes it doesn't.
The best way to go around this is to use your stock yellow lights and wire the LED bulbs to the stock in order to keep the error message away. The error free bulbs on ebay or wherever you may find them will fail one day, even though it will still light up. I wasted countless dollars on "new error free" bulbs that I just decided to go with that set up. I had a professional do this.

I used non-LED bulbs, led gives me a headache with the error code. I used PIAA 19172 168 Xtreme White Wedge Bulb on amazon, it gives a blueish hue, but not as nice as an LED but works 100% with no error code or flickering.
My license plate LED light works but it throws code so I put my DRL on "constant" and place the headlight knob to "0", lights still go on with no code that way.
