I installed these LED units in about 15 minutes. They definitely are a huge improvement over the regular bulbs, especially for under 20.00. It's hard to tell the color in the pics but they are super bright.
Do you guys know of any led/white bulbs that can be use instead of changing the complete housing/case for the license plate.
I'm using a T10 can bus error free bulb off of ebay for the license plate bulbs. Bought like 20 of them for $10 and used them to replace most of the bulbs in the interior also.
I admit I i thought they were crazy to charge what they did at dealer...till I did it and had to pull apart the liner and all lol but it was worth I know my trunk in and out now.
I've said this before but 07-09 license plates shine yellow/dull. 2010 is a bright white/pure white and they actually aren't led. They are like a super white kind of bulb. Don't know if most know this. I thought they were led but the looks of the color...
On my 2013, the factory connectors are different from the 07-09 T10 (194/168/W5W) style connector. Clearly, the LEDs I bought won't work unless I change the connectors. See the photo below.
The seller sent a replacement, but it still does not fit. The factory connector is more oval and the LED is more rectangular.
I believe M-B made a change some time between MY 11 and 12. the OE license light is in fact ~4500 to 5500K white and it does not have a replaceable bulb. I believe the OE is already LED.
konigstiger, as always, thank you. EPC confused me because, using my VIN, it listed a T10 W5W bulb (000853) with the lamp housing. It did not show the bulb as "not applicable".

David, I appreciate that your website lists the OE part numbers and they are searchable.
