so you want modern LEDs to work on an car 15 years older

….then you must follow the basics and get it right..... LED are polarity sensitive and use DC. But these days they don't have too, maybe with high power they are AC units and you need the electronics to cope? https://www.ledsmagazine.com/leds-ss...m-an-ac-supply

well its exactly how you said i want to make modern lights to work on my 08 S550.​
well the main issue that i see its that the new lights has a 2 huge module that controls the lights and movement. I don't care if they move or not. But I don't know what to do so head lights actually works so modules start sending signals to the leds.
but I going to start to learn more about polarity.
thanks.

thanks for replying im sure there's should be some kind of module or or set of connections that does Chinese and Russian use to do that conversion. That maybe don't even shows that error message on the dash. But what or where its.
really appreciate your reply.

Check with this website https://carsystems.com.ua talk to them and see if they have what you are looking for and keep us updated! I have been interested in doing something similar to this, I will appreciate if you let me know everything so I can know what to expect when I want to do mine

Did you ever complete the upgrade? Because I’m here looking for that info as well. At least the lights anyway.
