converting tail lights
I want to convert my tail lights from bulbs into LED"s because they last longer.
I am curious about what kind of problems I will be running into. I have a 1984 300D Last edited by peter811; 11-12-2005 at 11:41 PM.

How many times have you had to replace the OEM bulbs . . . twice in 21 years?
Fess up. you want to change to LEDs to look like a more modern car. It can be done, but you'll have to get the proper LEDs and wire up the resistors to get the light output correct. Seems like a lot of work to replace a $1.95 bulb.

They have all kinds of led bulbs, and they sell the load equilizers which you need because these draw less power than normal bulbs, so if you did your indicators, they would flash rapidly without the load equalizers. I bought their matrix bulbs fro my rear indicators in my w124, they work nicely., and you cannot tell they are led bulbs when they flash, they just glow a nice red color.

German bulbs last 20+ years. The turn signal bulbs in my '84 BMW motorcycle are all original.
