Hey guys I have tried many times to set up something with the members from this forum for these bulbs, I saw the previous thread with the same bulb I have had for over 6 months on my car and I tried to help people out but since I'm new I was posting it in the wrong section !!! But now that I got permission from Mr.Vanos personally let's see what I can do....enjoy!!!

The W5W Park light Bulb and FESTOON license plate bulbs:

Though I have seen lots of people buying these bulbs for all of our applications and let me tell you from personal experience with other bulbs, they just dont do it justice. These bulbs light up very bright and look very cool, I have had the single LED, the 2 LED 194 and the 4SMD Bulb before but the 8SMD LED CANBUS Bulb is by far the best looking one for our park-lights. I have also the 3SMD license plate bulbs on my car and they are awesome and a cheaper solution to the previous LED bulbs being sold by our vendors (not trying to bash them for selling awesome products but this is what I have and what I use just trying to be helpful to you and my car enthusiast locally to me)...so getting back to the bulb GP, all I need is a minimum of one set(2 bulbs):

Prices (Matching previous GP thanks AZN_C300)

194 W5W 8SMD Bulbs
1 Set = $11 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $14.00 USD
2 Set = $22.00 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $25.50 USD
3 Set = $33.00 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $37 USD
4 Set = $44.00 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $48.50 USD

FESTOON 3SMD 37mm License Plate Bulbs
1 Set = $14 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $17.00 USD
2 Set = $25.00 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $28.50 USD
3 Set = $36.00 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $39 USD
4 Set = $47.00 (Cost per Set) + $2.00 (Shipping/Handling via USPS First Class) + (4.9% + $0.30 USD PayPal Fees) = $51.50 USD

***PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF TRYING TO REPLACE INTERIOR LIGHTING AS I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A LOWER COST TO YOU SINCE THE USUAL INTERIOR TAKES ABOUT 20-25 BULBS ALONE (INCLUDING INSIDE TRUNK)***

Applications

These bulbs can be used for interior lighting as well I have my whole interior in my car done up with these bulbs, it not only helps you visually but looks very nice. For me it was one of the cheapest mods I could do and be happy with, and I get tons of compliments on it.

Required GB

There is no limit as to how many of these bulbs to get but I will be doing this since I saw that the previous GP close up. I will require a minimum list of 40 members, as soon as the list is filled I will post a new blank list for the next open GP, but sad part is till further notice I'm allowed to do this twice because I'm not a vendor but if it goes good I will be granted more GP for you guys. So lets get this rolling and see what we can do!!!

ATTENTION!!!!!

I'm not a vendor so please feel free to harrass me as much as you want lol, I respond very quickly and also I will help you guys out as much as possible... ***ALSO PLEASE PUT QUANTITY WANTED AND SIZE WANTED FOR THIS GP REMEMBER THIS IS FOR PARK-LIGHTS AND LICENSE PLATE BULBS*** I did this GP before when I had an Audi and it went great but i moved onto a faster better car and this is were I'm at...thanks

MODERATORS

APPROVED BY MR.VANOS

Payments

Payments will be sent to sandmark69@hotmail.com when the group gets filled, once that's done I will email you through PayPal letting you know payment was received and items will be sent to you within arrival of package...The bulbs get to me first then I USPS to you upon date of arrival usually takes 2-9 days to be sent to you...please be patient as I will require your payments to clear (PayPal takes forever...lol)

Generally interior lights don't generate errors from what I experienced as I've tossed LEDs with no resistors and just ran with no lights before as tests. Tried it on a C, SL, CLK, and SLK. You can always just remove the bulb and turn on the car to see if you get any warnings.

Very true but once you hook up the star it will show up that you have an error code and also and only car equipped with ambient lighting do show errors...meaning not every bulb in the car but the ambient ones like the under seat ones and under dash ones...the only reason I went ahead and installed all of the LEDs canbus in the car was because whenever I take my car to the STEALER (lol) I dont want them to be able to pin point at anything on my car or have anything to blame problems on... cause you know those A$$HOLES will blame anything on you to get you to pay these days...

so are you saying that the ambient light ones need to be error free? I really only want to replace the map lights and puddle lamps, maybe the trunk and console too. and is there an easy way to replace the ambient light that shines down to the shifter? I'd rather not have the goldish amber color I have now.

well i just verified the trunk lights in my car the 2 side ones need to be canbus the puddle can be regular but in the same respect like i said once you hook them up to the star diag it does come up with an error...
