I have ease dropped on a few conversations on this forum and I decided to go ahead and buy some LED bulbs for my SL. I bought the LED fogs, reverse, license plate, and low beams. I have had nothing but problems come from all except my reverse lights! One of my headlights blew after day 2! One license plate bulb has been replaced twice already. It will work for awhile then flicker until it finally goes out!? My passanger side fog light is having the moisture issues a lot of people have already mentioned. I have no idea what's going on? Has anyone else had any similar problems or is it just my luck? Any explanations or solutions would be greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed or seems petty to some. Thanks guys.

 

I have LED's in my brake lights, license plate and reverse without problems. I went to change my rear turn signals and it blew my dash board. Dealer luckily replaced. I have had moisture issues with the LED Fogs too as mentioned in other posts. Very Frustrating. Dealer has also replaced them. Didn't help. Used silicone and let them dry out. Didn't help. Put OEM bulbs back in and just leave them off. I hate the constrast of those yellowish fogs and my HID Headlights. Complain to the dealership about the moisture. The more that complain, the better!

 

Which LEDs did you use for brake lights and turn signals? I saw you had issues with the dash, where you able to get this corrected? This is one of the next mods I seriously want to do.

 

LED headlights and/or fogs are a huge no no. Unless you like reducing light where you actually need it...

Sounds like you need some better quality bulbs though if you're having that many issues.

 

I would agree but I'm pretty sure I'm using the same as mpclutch and he hasn't had any problems....jdm astars and opt7 led headlight.. Since my original post I now also have had a reverse light blow! WTF!! Shaking my head.

 

Did anyone have any issues using these LED bulbs for the reverse lights??

I didn't use the JDMs, I used these from vleds and have been very happy with them.
