[Guest blackmercs]

Simple mods for suggestion after you getting yr new ride, be it asethetics or engine Mgmt. This thread is mainly discussion on asethetics mods only. As much as possible, I will try to cover as many simple mods with you guys.

Do note that all kinds of mods will void your warranty. Also, you are at your own risk to go ahead with the mods that suggested by me. If you have concern, please skip reading this thread.

Let's start!!

1) Interior lights change to LED

Check your manual before starts asking what kinda of LED u should purchase. Yr manual will able to furnish the necessary information of all the lighting and the types of bulb for replacement. The common lightings are festoon or T10 or round pin type (rare) for Mercedes.

Once you know what types of LED for replacement, there are 2 ways to go about it.

1) Look for our site sponsor to get it installed for you or

2) order yr LED through eBay,

if u choose 2) u are going to DIY route. Also make sure you order the correct diameter, length & correct wattage. For festoon, check the length of the stock. Do check with the vendor of the dimension, diameter of the LED so that it's can fit into the space of the lighting area. I learn this through the hard way, so make u check & check before ordering. Try to order those LED with canbus so that you need not worry about check light or flickering issue. For interior lighting shouldn't have these kinds of issue but I do encounter for other car brand.

Below is the few sample pics of the types of stock lighting :-

1) Festoon

2) T10 or W5W

3) Bulbs (pin type)

Differences type of LED in the market, choose wisely

1) Festoon (no shown) or square LED

2) T10 - u can choose the nos of LED

3) long strip LED, mainly for boot or at the bottom of car seats or door panel area.
