Anyways, I was reading up on a W210 owner who did a 6-LED festoon bulb mod for his license plate and I was wondering if that's capable on our cars. Installing the resisters and all. Sorry, I'm just obsessed with white lighting!

you can read about it here.

so chris,

changing all your interiors to the LEDs also??

CDP

Yeah, It's something I'd like to do in the near future but I don't know if I have the patience to do all the buttons and etc. lol I'm tackling all the lighting on the doors, trunk and etc...

So anyone know if it'll work?

I pm'ed the the in the thread and it may work with a resistor ( ~50 ohm 10w) found at your local radio shack.

My license plate light just went out yesterday, so I will probably try it out and let you know how it comes out.

Bigdot

make them red. think of the Goose, its PIMP, remember?

CDP

haha. mark, no way will I do them red. You should do it.

I already bought the bulbs. I'll do the mod this saturday and let you guys know how it turns out.

Omar, ~50 ohm will work? I was thinking abot getting the 100 ohm.

I was actually going to do this this past weekend but My brother needed some money so it was postponed. Yep it is 39mm, Did you buy the bulbs from ebay or your own source? How many leds in the bulb? Lastly take before and after pictures with similar lighting. Good luck. Some people sell bulbs with integrated resistors... I wouldn't trust that much though. I see you saw the other thread in the w210 section.

CDP

I bought them through Ebay. Hopefully they will come in tomorrow. 6-LED bulbs.

and of course I'll take some before and after pictures.

I just got another pm from him today...he said to try the 50ohm first only on one side, if it doesnt work, try another 50ohm on the other side, and if that doesnt work, try one 100ohm on one side.

CDP

how much are those little suckers at radioshack?

oneill_1

$1.79 + tax for a pack of two....

CDP

I'll go later and buy the 50 & 100 ohm's just incase.

CDP

the mod looks awesome but 39mm bulbs are definitely too big. haha

oneill_1

post some pics, did you need the resistors?

CDP

I'm not sure. because my light bulb warning light is already on because I removed the third brake light because of my subs and I disabled the corner lights at night. I bought them though and added one incase. They were only $.99 at radioshack for a pack of five.

EDIT: took some pictures with my camera phone just right now since it's dark. Sorry about the quality but it'll do for now.





can't really tell in the pictures but they are really bright and white. Just how I like them. lol

dude, I'm starting to think 39MM is too big. Or they sent me 42mm cause the fitting is soooo tight. Maybe 36mm is the best? but I heard thats small. sooo....

oneill_1

Lookin pretty damn good

CDP

I know!

dude, go to sleep.

willy2004

jdmfiend

CDP

I went with the 6-LED festoon bulb's.

You can get them off Ebay, Just type in "6-LED festoon bulb" lol and a bunch should come up.
