Nope, afraid not. That was several years ago. Google (or Duck-Duck-Go) is your friend.

LED's
often fail 'erratically' due to voltage and temperature variations. Why MBZ uses one 'close to' voltage limits puzzles me.

Thanks I bought on Amazon 3mm lead comes in 200pcs with 10 colors (&#128561 for like $7.99 prime lol
Will only be using two orange color ones, I guess will keep the rest for spare. Will update on the replacement process on this 2003 S500 as I am going to cut and solder I'm the new LEDs.
