Yup, whiter and brighter lights are best! Nice job.

The lights look fantastic. Which 5W bulb did you use for the interior lights? They look almost as white as white LEDs.

It should be easy to ID your car at night on the road.

-1-, thanks.

Good eye etyu, can't slip anything past you ...

Those are indeed White LED bulbs. Each bulb contains 5 Wide Angle LEDs.
(They do NOT require resistors)
Currently i am using these in my dome lights, though they are actually supposed to be in my clear side markers.

I actually just ordered another set of 1W each 194type Wedge LED bulbs. So depending on how those perform, i will decide what looks best in the Parking, Side Markers, and Dome lights (since they all use the same bulbs)

Also next to switch out are the bulbs in the doors (ones that shine down)

Thanks Dan. Still need to throw on those fog light bulbs. But those and the sidemarker lights will go in together on a nicer day. Been raining here every day.

Vin,

I'm not sure what you mean by front side lights. If you are talking about the ones I changed (the parking lights as i called them) you can reach them from under the hood. Just one tip, Remove the harness from the back of the bulb first, then twist and pull out.

As for the Front Turn Signals, you will need to get to them through the wheel well. What you'de have to do is turn the steering all the way to one direction and turn off the car. Take off the pannel facing the front (should be about 4 screws. And you will then be able to get to all the bulbs much easier.

If you are talking about the side markers (the ones on the bumper) then you also need to do the above to get in through the wheel well by taking off the cover.

The rear are easier to get to. Just peel back the covers, they are movable. Then you can reach in there and twist/pull out the bulb of your choice. One pit of warning though, the REVERSE bulbs are a pain and a half to reinstall again...

Personally i think the engineers who designed the front and rear light setups should be FIRED! it was such a pain working on these minor upgrades. I understand you are supposed to go to a deal, but FOR A LIGHT BULB COME ON!

I know its a stupid setup noregret but as you say i don't think this is a accident but a way to get people to the dealers if you can remove a bulb in 5 minutes with no effort who is going to pay MB to do it if it involves removing panels and stuff people are more likely to go to them for it and pay.

They can be very crafty at times finding new ways to carry out this open wallet surgery.
