Anyones change the puddle lights mounted on the bottom of the ledt/right mirrors?
On 2010+ S550 these are an amber color, and don't match the new leds up front on the headlights, and the license plate. Anyone change these and what did you use.
Ambient lamp (6) is shown in last photo and referenced in step 6.
I saw that, but it seems like the lamp is not a separately available part part? Without taking it out, I do not know if it is a standard bulb or some sort of proprietary assembly.
The deed is done. Soooo much improved over the factory. It is now crazy bright and bright white (not blue). Fast and easy mod.
Housing with mirror popped out and puddle light housing removed:
Notice the reflective treatment inside the housing:
I ordered no fewer than 11 variants of 194/T10/W5W/168 compatible LEDs to compare, including Philips Xtreme Vision and Sylvania Premium. Some are "error free/Canbus", others claim to use Cree LEDs. In the end, one outshined every other. It's a perfect design for this application too.
Cool. Snov, I think I can get the same one you used. Checking my manufactures and if I can get I'll let you guys know and help out if I can. Stay tuned.
