weird, got the second pair of led's and they're doing the same thing on and off, with about one second intervals. Any ideas why? Regular bulbs works fine.

Yeah, I'm suspecting this last batch of 194 Wedge has something odd with them for w211 E classes now. I've tested them on a C and SL and have no problems with them. I've got a w211 test vehicle coming in this weekend that I'm going to perform some diagnostics on, but might have to wait for my next batch (scheduled for around the 20th of Jan) to arrive.

Yeah, don't worry, I'll take care of all you guys. Give me this weekend when I meet up with my test vehicle to run some diagnostics.

Haaaaaa, same with my car. They blink for a few and then nothing. Michael has been verry helpful. Let me know if you find a resolution. I will send these other 2 sets back.

Ok, just met with my tester. It's definitely this last batch that had some variation. We tested my 8000K from previous batch and they worked just fine. So for those of you with this blinking issue, you have two options at this point....One, I can issue a full refund and will comp you for return shipping of the LEDs, just shoot me a PM letting me know what you want.... or Two, I will put your contact information down for my next batch which should be coming in mid-end of this month and ship you a new set that should be back to my original spec and design before this issue popped up. All I need from you is a PM with your name and address and transaction number and I will mark you down.
Once again, I apologize for this issue but was told by my Mercedes tech rep that the voltage specs are the same across all MB lines (except new model MLs), so when I test all these LEDs on my test C and SL, made the assumption they would work just fine for all other models. Apparently that's not the case and w211s might vary just enough in terms of specs to make them slightly different.

Yeah, ideally I'd like to avoid something like this from even happening in the first place, but stuff like this happens. Just want to make sure all my customers are taken cared of. I'll have to work a w211 into my rotation of test vehicles to verify and validate batches from now on due to this. Remember to send me a PM with the information requested if you want a replacement. For some of you, I don't have a direct mapping between your username and your actual name/address/order.

My order hasn't arrived yet - normal for APO delivery though.
However, are the ones you sent me part of the bad batch? If so, can you send me out new ones when you get them. Do you want me to send the old ones back to you when they get here?

This is for the fog lights? Does this price still stand?

Ok, I got my new batch in. Any w211 in the LA/OC area want to meet up and verify the new batch? Let me know.

Want to verify and possibly debug if necessary as soon as possible before mailing out which would take a few days
