Canbus LED

Looks great. Was it simply a bulb change? When on, is there any Bulb Failure warning on the center instrument cluster, due to difference in wattage (bulb vs. LED). I'd love to do this too, as I do not really like my "yellow" parking lamp. Thanks!!
Have the same ones, also on a silver sport. They work without a glitch, now flickering or warnings, but the color is too blue, closer to 6000, rather than stock 4300 which I was looking for. Looks ok with stock HIDs on, but alone a bit cheap looking. Getting a color match on low beams, driving lights, and fogs is proving to be quite difficult.
No Bulb Failure warning on the center instrument cluster. Simply plug and play.
Attached pictures you can see the original bulb on one side and the Canbus LED on the other side for the C-Class.

web-site "xenonkungen" or you can type "canbus led" into google search.
Are those 4300K? Do they change color after a while?
Quick Q. I had a parking light failure warning light come on a few days ago, so I pulled the plug and was going to remove the burned out light, but couldn't get the darn thing ut. I thought I was going to break the bulb housing, so I just put the plug back on and was going to address it at a later date or next service, but now the light works...must have been a bad connection or something. Anyway, I was looking at these same lights on Ebay last week when I was about to replace my bad bulb, and still want to change them out, but how do you get that stupid parking bulb out...Thanks.
They look closer to 6000. Have mine in for about 3 months now, nothing changed and I doubt it will.
Do it in a well lit place, or better yet outside on a sunny day. All you need is some needle nose pliers and some patience. I forget which side, but one of them is much easier to get to than the other, so practice on that one first. Also, do not disconnect the wire, grab onto the tubular bulb housing as close to the back of the headlight as you can, twist gently and pull out. It will comeout with the bulb. To make sure you are pulling\twisting the right thing just look at the bulb thru the headligh, it will obviously move as you try to manipulate it out.
A word of caution, not all W5W replacement LEDs will fit inside the headlight widthwise. Make sure to buy the flat ones like pictured above, some have 1 or 2 leds per side.
Those are 5000K. 6000K would be too BLUE.
Thanks for the removal tip. I did try and remove the whole plastic bulb housing w/ the bulb, but I really thought I was going to break something. I also was trying w/a needle nose as you recommend. Does the housing have a twist and lock system, or is it just a twist back and forth and wiggle out, (like pulling a tooth). I would imagine it has a locking system as this would help seal the housing from vibrations and water. Just wondering before I order these and try again. Lastly, do I need the 1 or 2 LED bulbs? Thanks again.

Yes, do it in a well lit place. The left side is easier. The problem is getting your hand in a postion to twist the housing. You need to be patient.
Yeah, their alittle too blue for my ride too. Im thinking off buying MTEC T10 bulbs for the parking lights they are closer to xenon white. You can check out the ebay store of seller auto-perfect on ebay theres pictures, looks good.
I have seen some flat ones with 6 leds ... one each side too. Will these not fit ?
Thanks
Not sure which one you are talking about. The housing is narrow, so as long as the top of the led is not much wider than the base, and not too long it will fit.
P.S. One of mine started to blink from time to time. Haven't checked it out yet, but I'm pretty sure its the led and not the connection.

Both of mine canbus LEDs burned out in 6 months. About 3-4 weeks apart. When I took them out all soldering points were rusted, and a chip on one of them fell off. So much for the made-in-china quality. Replaced with Japanese halogen bulbs - not as bright and when they are off you can see the blue bulbs if you look closer at the headlight, but they are a much better color match to OEM HIDs than LEDs or Phillips Blue Vision and cost pennies.
PS - I'm getting fast at replacing these lights. Seems outrageous that some shops charge to remove the whole headlight. I swap both out in 5 minutes now.
