Can you provide the source on web where to purchase the LED and if the orange color matches the factory one? Since only two of my doors are out.

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.

Thanks
