I feel like with the pre-lci taillights you can see the bulb when its illuminated so I think an LED bulb would look pretty cool behind the red lense of the lamp versus a regular halogen bulb which is boring and lame and dim. Maybe I'm just looking for anything to do to my car because I'm finding it difficult to find cheap upgrades to make feel occupied haha I neeeed to modify my car!
Just hold off on the itch, and save the money for lci tails.
But of course, do it if you really must. If it makes you happy, who's to say you're wrong.

Where did you purchase the bulbs, how much, and do they come in amber? Are they truly brighter in daylight than the standard halogen?

He got em from me. THey also come amber. Standard bulbs arent halogen. They are filament. Brightness is similar but it gets rid of the yellow yolk. You will love em. I would get the front, side, and rear. That's it. Nothing else. And dont forget the MUST DO euro stickers!!! PM me for details. I have a special package deal for Sticks and Sigs.

Yep, I got them from Brabusw209amg. I love these LED signals!!! They look awesome and are super bright! Another plus is that, there's no amber egg yolk effect in the housing either. With these LED's, you will get a fresh and clean look! Get em from Brabus, his service is Top Notch.

John,
I forgot about the rear LED replacement light. Are you talking about the rear blinker? If it is, PM me how much with shipping. Also, do you happen to know what bulb size for the reverse light? Just got the bulb failure message for my left reverse light. Was gonna look it up but I'm sure most people here already know the bulb model number without searching. Thanks
