Soooo... critique please.
Are they bright enough?
Are they weatherproof - no water getting in? Do they fog up?
Are all the lamps LED or just some?
Does the foglight function work?
Anything else we ought to know?
They look good in the pics - well done.

Edit - done. Oops, didn't read your first post and info about globes - sorry.
They have a good price on projector headlights too. Have asked about RHD and the special in combo with tail-lights.

Well my LED tail lamps arrived today. I fitted them this evening. They are bright and the fog lamp works too. They really dress up the car nicely.
Only one annoying issue - the bottom corner of the LH tail lamp red bezel is broken off. See photo and arrow pointing to the damage.
I didn't notice this till it was on the car. Found bits of plastic in the otherwise undamaged box, so must have been that way when shipped. The packing was good and strong.
Damn it - now have to go through the whole damaged goods rigmarole. Am holding off e-bay feedback until positively resolved. I have contacted the vendor.
The bezel moulding doesn't seem as good as the genuine MB one. The plastic seems different (I'm not a materials expert).
I'll let you know how I get on.
