At least 16. More of you want it brighter. But honestly. I prefer my reading lights incandecent. The harsh white light is too blinding at night.

I painted my side marker lenses 744 Brilliant Silver and put some LED bulbs in I had laying around from my 850 Turbo(didnt want the stock bulbs to lift or bubble the paint over time). Have errors. I just reset em on the dash.....

Also idk what it is but I love the regular interior lighting. I'm just old school.
ah no? I was thinking about hitting the reset button but I was nervous that my mirrors would not fold in when locking and I would have to reset that. It went away with out me hitting the reset button so I think it was taking its sweet time getting used to it? Who knows, and I honestly I am just happy that it works now perfectly. As for the LED interior I want it to match my Audi.

It is blinding but I would hate for them not to match.

LOL the only other way to clear the codes would be to get ahold of a STAR system iirc.

I used those LED before. They would work on my 2003 S55 for about a year, then the L or R would give me an error on the dash while still working. I replaced and this time, it always gave me error code. I just push the reset button to get to my digital speedo/miles to display.

On my 2006 S65, plug in and play SAME company SAME LED, NO error code. Weird right? So now every car after, I just stick to OEM unless its the low-beams. On my 2002 H1, AM General does not care, working or not! WOOO no codes.

That is weird, I think its just because these cars are so well crafted that when you put something after market in it it just bugs out.

I have to replace my fog lights in it now. Any one recommend blue ish white ish ones?

When I installed LED license plate on my W221, it was a plug and play deal. I had a similar problem with my w220 install. Both would light up, but the L would show error. It came up once a year vs the side markers and parking lamps which was a few times a week.

Here is my audi with both 6k for low and fogs. The projectors lightens up the color a little so it doesn't match. If you want blue-white, 8k would be the way to go, but it might be a little too blue for your liking without projectors.

I had my local shop sell me a HID kit. Came with wires, ballast, bulbs to do install. No specific brand but the shop offered a 3 year warranty on my kit.

Who knows whats up with these w220s and LED's I want the LED licensee plate lights too but I am afraid of how manny errors those may cause. I have projector headlights in the Benz their just not HID I always look at the HID kits but they look like a ton of work to install. I was really surprised that Ziza does not make fog lights for the w220 or the H1 bulb. Nice S5 BTW, In my Audi I have the Ziza for the fogs and they look amazing and match almost 100%.

I just looked them up and they seam like a pretty straight up install. But I also read that all HID kits are Junk.... Hmmm Maybe I will just go with the OEM Bixenons because the light out put that I have now is just pure

I go with option 2

If you don't like error codes put the oem lights back in
If you can tolerate the error codes keep the led

considering these cars are throwing codes for just a simple LED day light, does this mean if I want to change out the OEM LED bulb to a high burning heat its going to throw codes also?
