Did you put 194 bulbs in your parking lights that are leds? or get one of the 'conversion' kits?

It has a built in resistor i believe they are error free, at this point i just want a reliable led bulb that won't give me problems, they go on then flicker off and they worked fine for a good amount of time but now they are shot.

I think they replace the fog lights, either that, or this guy is getting the parking light bulbs.

Was thinking someone made something that you could retrofit and look nice/factoryish in the bumpers....

2005 AMG E55
Just a heads up that after buying 3 sets of LED T-10 bulbs for my 2005 W211 E55 I found a set that are *really* CANBUS compatible.

~$12USD from Amazon.

One failed to work so I reversed it (polarity important for CANBUS circuit I assume) and theyve been working well ever since. They match the factory Xenons very closely and are nice and bright and only slightly longer than OEM bulbs.

Hints for installation: given the limited room is to cut the factory ziptie on the pass side (if its still there) for more wiggle room with the nearby cabling and replace with a new zip tie when done.

For the driver side theres a 1" engine hose that easily pops out of its plastic guide to give some work room.

Job took about 10 mins.

Hope this helps someone

Item title : MONDES 194 W5W 168 2825 LED LIGHTS - Super Bright New Design CAN-Bus Dashboard Error Free, Silica Gel Coated Chip Board, LED Replacement Bulbs, Easy D.I.Y Kit (Plug-N Play) - (WHITE)

I was having lots of problems too, my light would only last about a month and then they would go out. I was using morimoto LEDs.

AZOptics then hooked me up with a set that is able to take electric fluctuations better and I have no had any problems.
