Hey Ice,
Just a word of caution but that warning triangle goes off for a lot of different reasons i.e. low fuel, fasten seatbelts, etc... If it's always on you might encounter a problem in the future and not know about it.

On the HUD the warning has the word " Malfunction License plate light Left" and the low fuel and fasten seatbelts have different warnings on the HUD.. But good looking out.. I was thinking about that before too..

You guys won't believe where I found the answer to the warning triange! Mercedes... 
Apparently, all you need is a 100 ohm 10W resistor. Here are two links:

I'll let someone else beta test before I go and buy the LED bulbs and resistor.
